I would think Jackson is a definite as well. Cutting a 2nd rounder isn't likely.
The other three will battle for the last spot..Comment

Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.Comment

Wynn weighs in at over 230. I think TT just go his fullback.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up

Maybe he'll be a football version of Jimmy "The Toy Cannon" Wynn.Originally posted by J-RokTeamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

Strengths: Fluid getting in and out of cuts and runs adequate short-to-intermediate routes. Snatches the ball out of the air and rarely drops passes that should catch. Isn't afraid to go over the middle, flashes the ability to make the tough catch in traffic and can hold onto the ball after taking a big hit. Reads blocks fairly well and can produce after the catch. Can return kickoffs and should contribute on special teams.
Weaknesses: Somewhat undersized, isn't physical and can get muscled out of routes. Doesn't use hands well, hasn't shown great upper body strength and should have problems getting a clean release working against press coverage. Lacks ideal explosiveness and played for a small school so there is some concern about ability to separate from man coverage at the NFL level. Isn't going to make multiple defenders miss, lacks breakaway speed and isn't much of a threat to turn a catch underneath into a long gain. Suspended three games for the role he played in a brawl with Miami and character is somewhat of a concern.
Overall: Williams played in all 10 games in 2003, catching 29 passes for 460 yards (15.9 average) and two touchdowns. In 2004, he finished with 46 receptions in 10 games (four starts) for 525 yards (11.4 average) and three touchdowns. He also added 412 yards on 19 kickoff returns (21.7 average). In 2005, Williams started all 11 contests and caught 61 passes for 870 yards (14.3 average) and two touchdowns. During his senior season in 2006, he played in 10 out of 12 games (nine starts), while catching 67 passes for 664 yards (9.9 average) and one touchdown. He also added 130 yards on seven kickoff returns (18.6 average), and 86 yards and a touchdown on four punt returns (21.5 average) in 2006.
Williams could develop into a reliable sub-package possession receiver who can also return kickoffs but his lack of idyllic power and burst puts a low ceiling on his upside. He projects as a late-round pick or a rookie free agent.

Wynn never quite hit his stride with the Gators. Was a good runner but never quite reached that top level. Didn't seem to be well liked by Urban Meyer........maybe because he wasn't one of Meyer's guys. New team in a new place will probably do him good........as far as a fresh start. Hope he comes through as I like having some Gators playing for the Packers.Comment

I loved the Vikings 1st day picks. However, it seems like the Vikings did their normal second day el foldo. They haven't had a good 5th-7th round pick this decade. (They really haven't even gotten much contributions from their 3rd and 4th round picks this decade either.) I do like the Allison pick, but I'm not very impressed with their second day. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt, but they haven't exactly shown they can dig up diamonds in the rough. Of course, what the hell do I know.
I think Thompson dropped the ball on James Jones, the two LB picks, and Wynn (unless he thinks he can play FB)."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment
