He has a hard time shedding blocks especially being as big as he is. He didn't run tight routes and just didn't seem all too explosive.

Before I get the obvious incoming criticism on this evaluation, I may not have seen the "circus" catches that's he has undoubtedly made. I will say that when I saw the way he plays, it just doesn't seem like he was very fundamentally sound.

Personally, if we were to go WR, I would go Edwards. After being sorely disappointed with Williams "highlights", I decided to check out Edwards and was thoroughly impressed. I think it would be a gamble because of his dropping problems in college, but if that was corrected, I see him as being the biggest playmaker at WR.

Actually I was about to start a thread about that very thing, I agree Williams is not the player he is defiently overhyped, there are plenty of recievers in this draft who if they played for USC would be talked about in the top 10, that offense can make you look much better than you really are. I still say we do what we have to do to pick up a 2nd rd pick and get V. Jackson, this kid will be better than Williams, if we do what we have to do to move into the early second rd and keep our #9 then I feel we will be much better off with the best CB available [ preferably Rolle]or Merriman, I have a strong feeling that Merriman will be he guy, but we can't trade down to get him, where as if we trade down and pick up a second rounder, we could get a very good CB and Jackson, Jackson IMO is the big key to us having great success in this draft.

No way we need a LB at #9, when Williams has shown he can tap the talent off a cast off and turn him into a pro bowler, he doesn't need another star at LB, especially at the expence of much more needed help at other positions.
