I just can't see him falling that far ... but who knows. I can't see a California boy playing on the fronzen tundra up in GreenBay though.

Looking at past Vikings' drafts, I'm pretty sure the player was Dwayne Rudd. I think that also started the NFL to invite less players as Dwayne Rudd being in the green room was becoming a huge story.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

WILLIAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM HAPPY BUT SCARED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

moriarty · 04-23-2005, 01:19 PM

Wow .... Joey better be able to hit these guys.

cartman · 04-23-2005, 01:19 PM

The Cowboys had better pick Derrick Johnson.

That is all.

Eaglesfan27 · 04-23-2005, 01:20 PM

Oh yeah! The Lions might have just become my third favorite team behind the Eagles and Saints. Williams will be awesome beside their other receivers. Harrington better get it done this year.

cthomer5000 · 04-23-2005, 01:20 PM

first shocker of the day... whoa!

Logan · 04-23-2005, 01:20 PM

Not a chance in hell Williams stays with Detroit.

It was a smart pick by them, because he would have gotten picked up by Dallas at 11. Now they can sit back and listen to offers.

SFL Cat · 04-23-2005, 01:21 PM

Detroit has some of the top young WR in the business now. No excuses for a lacklustre passing game.

SFL Cat · 04-23-2005, 01:21 PM

dola -- Go BOYS!!!

Even my wife noticed that. Mercy.

moriarty · 04-23-2005, 01:24 PM

Where's all the Lion's fans today?

BTW - any chance Dallas selects Rodgers down at #20 if he's still there?

I don't know. Dallas needed a speedy receiver more. Plus picking another possesion receiver will just make Keyshawn even more unbearable, unless that's what Parcells considers as motivation.

FF · 04-23-2005, 01:24 PM

if dets receivers can stay on the field, next year is going to be a great year.

duckman · 04-23-2005, 01:24 PM

What the fuck is Matt Millen thinking?

I wouldn't be suprised if Parcells trades down a few spots for extra picks.

would make some sense to me, if they can get a decent offer.

I thought he played in Chico? Or maybe he lives in Chico ...

edit: per NFL.com

Rodgers was a two-time all-section selection at Pleasant Valley (Chico, Calif.) High School, where he threw for 2,176 yards as a senior and 2,243 yards during his junior campaign … Attended Butte (Calif.) Junior College in 2002, where he led the team to a No. 2 ranking in the national polls, completing 164 of 265 passes (61.9 percent) for 2,408 yards, 28 touchdowns and only four interceptions, adding 294 yards with seven scores on 101 carries (2.9 avg.) …

Bad pick by the Boys, IMO.

Draft Dodger · 04-23-2005, 01:29 PM

Mike Williams is a great pick

Noop · 04-23-2005, 01:30 PM

Funny when I was watching D.Ware perform during the combine footage on NFL Network I remember seeing Parcells face ligth up.

That's because the free buffet was on the other side of the field, behind Ware.

So do I. Although I would have picked Derrick Johnson, had he been available which he was.

The Cowboys had Ware ahead of Merriman.

Methinks either some team told him they would take him .... and changed their mind or his agent is an idiot and didn't want to tell him that he probably wasn't going top 10.

I know some Texas fans may not agree with me but Derrick Johnson is kinda of overrated. Great college player but I am not sure if he will translate that into the NFL where fullbacks are like mini guards who move fast and hit hard. Also after reading his scouting report shedding block seems to be a weakness for him. If any Texas fan can confirm this please do so or anyone who has seen him play alot more then I have..(I watched him about 4 times this season but i was flipping channels)

cartman · 04-23-2005, 01:39 PM

I think at least a couple of the the DE/OLB types the Cowboys were looking at are still going to be around for their #20 pick. DJ will be long gone by then.

cartman · 04-23-2005, 01:42 PM

dola,

my big knock on Ware was that his draft board rise seemed to be solely based on his combine performance. In most instances, a great combine performance does not translate into a productive NFL career.

cartman · 04-23-2005, 01:43 PM

double dola

I think the Texans are gonna get DJ with this pick.

Schmidty · 04-23-2005, 01:45 PM

Nothing gets me more motivated to play some FOF than draft day.

He might still go at #13, but not to Houston as New Orleans has just traded up.

FF · 04-23-2005, 01:52 PM

i hope victor rogers or kelly butler can play RT for the lions

Noop · 04-23-2005, 01:52 PM

Interesting they think Brown is better then Barron.

cartman · 04-23-2005, 01:53 PM

Nope, the Saints take an offensive lineman.

I think it's gonna be a while before the Saints trade up to draft another Longhorn in the first round...

Lions signed a tackle from San Fran the other day. Started all 16 games for em.

DeToxRox · 04-23-2005, 01:57 PM

And since I just got on.

I didn't think Mike Williams was God as Mel Kiper does, but in the situation he can be in in Detroit, he's going to thrive. Lions couldn't convert third downs and couldn't convert in the redzone.

cartman · 04-23-2005, 01:57 PM

speaking of, where are the posts from Mel Kiper's Hair?

Barron' stock has fallen as a quite a few teams think he's lazy.
