Did you guys look at Mel Kiper's draft board? Mike Williams is number 1 in front of the two quarterbacks that were supposed to go #1, #2. Do you think Kiper is crazy or do you think Mike williams is number 1 for this year's draft? He hasn't played for a year, but when he did play he was great! I would have to say I would take a chance on this guy just because of his size and speed (even though he doesn't run a great 40, he always finds a way to separate from people.) Or do you think that Alex Smith [from Utah] or California's guy (I forgot his name [Aaron Rodgers]) should be number one, since you know that they're going to be at least half way decent, and played last year? I say go with Mike Williams, I mean the NBA takes high school students so why not take him? Besides that you see Keyshawn Johnson wanting more money; players are getting paid too much so maybe the Cowboys should trade up and take Williams.
Do I think Kiper is crazy? Maybe. But he gets paid for predicting the draft, which is impossible. Looking at his big board, which ranks the top 25 draft prospects, I see up to 6 or 7 guys that could go number one in the draft this year. Braylon Edwards, a wide receiver from Michigan is a guy that could be a surprise, defensive back Antrel Rolle from Miami has the makings of a number one pick, even going down to number 14 on the big board you find a defensive end, Dan Cody, from Oklahoma who could take top honors. As far as you saying you'd take a chance on Williams, I'd say that every single pick in the whole draft is a risk, and a lot of times making the transition from college to pro football can change a player drastically, for better or worse. Tom Brady was a 6th round pick, and just look at him now...
