Falcons grab Jimmy Williams....


Jimmy Williams
CB, Virginia Tech

War Room analysis
Coverage skills: Has great height, size, speed and long arms. Is a versatile playmaker. Can play cornerback or safety. Excels in man-to-man coverage, and easily reroutes receivers. Has excellent strength, is physical and challenges for jump balls. Uses size effectively in the red zone. Shows quick, fluid hip movement to turn and run with any receiver. Excels at changing direction. Must improve zone awareness. Grade: 8.4

Run/pass recognition: Shows only adequate awareness. Gets caught peeking into the backfield; tends to lock on to the quarterback, and must focus more on receivers. Grade: 8.2

Closing speed: Has rare quickness, change-of-direction skills and speed. Makes quick cuts in tight spaces. Is smooth. Shows an outstanding burst on the ball. Grade: 8.6

Ball skills: Is a natural playmaker. Is aggressive, and has the size and strength to win battles. Shows good hands. Is a threat to score after every interception. Grade: 8.7

Run support: Has good size, bulk and strength. Comes up and fills the hole hard. Is physical, tackles well and hits hard. Grade: 8.7

Bottom line: Williams immediately will improve some NFL team. He should remain a cornerback, but some teams consider him more valuable as a safety. Regardless, Williams is a playmaker and quarterbacks will hesitate to throw his way. He should be selected in the Top 15 of the draft and be one of the top defensive backs selected.

Dan Pompei analysis
Is a big, gifted athlete with man-to-man ability. Is a smooth athlete who can turn and run with receivers. Has good recovery speed. Changes directions quickly. Is strong and tough in run support, and is a good tackler. Shows good instincts. Is calm under pressure. Guesses a bit too often, giving up some big plays. Loses focus and plays undisciplined at times. Shows below-average ball skills. Would be best in a cover-2 scheme. Is a former safety who could be moved back there. Has some concerns about his attitude, but appears to have matured.
No. 2 on Pompei's CB rankings

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?

They traded again.,......with Falcons....

Ok I need to take a breath. We starting to really accumulate picks here. I like this move a lot. Lots of talent left. Someone figure up the points please. I'm assuming we got Atlantas 15th pick in round 2 and 15th pick in round 3.
