Ouch...4.67 unofficial 2nd run time.

We might have a shot at him after all in the 3rd or 4th.

Combine numbers don't mean that much when it comes to playing the game IMO...The guy produced in college and I would love to use a 3rd or 4th on this guy.

You would love three of our first three or three of our first four draft choices this year dedicated to wide receiver?

Sure why not, if he's the best value at the time we pick I would expect him to be the pick..Remember TO is no spring chicken, there is no guarantee that Austin is coming back, and Crayton is OK but Williams has the skill set to be a good wideout in the NFL.

Crayton is a horrible returner. A fumble waiting to happen and he has no moves. Holds the ball like Deion with speed like a 7th rounder.
Bye Bradie.....

On the flip side, Deon Butler who I always thought was a bigger threat then Williams ran a 4.38

Is that the official time? I thought he clocked in at a 4.26, which is blazing... Butler certainly helped his cause so far. I would take a look at him. He would be very dangerous in the slot.

I don't know...this guy looks plenty fast to me in pads, tough, has high character with good hands. I like him, but no question this combine hurt the kid.

He'll need to run some better times or he will fall. They will look at his relative game speed but....

We don't need another WR IMO. We have other holes to fill. Austin, Crayton, RWR and TO should be able to make this offense go esp with all the other fire power.

NT, ILB, S, and OL are needs. We also should pickup another CB esp if Henry moves to safety. If Canty, Bowen, and Tank are gone then we are going to have to address DE early. I don't see us being real active in FA but it's early and that could change.
