If our draft went that way (all 3 picks) I'd cry tears of joy.

Not me.

Davis and Johnson should be very good LBs but they are LBs. Add in a WR who likely wont contribute heavily for at least 2 years and we have a gaping hole at RDE, RT and FS still.

I'd prefer:

11: Alex Barron RT
20: Dan Cody DE
42: Justin Tuck 3rd down rush end/ROLB

Since WRs take a couple of years to develop I'd rather sign a Troy Brown and draft a guy in round 4 or 5 to compete with Crayton et al.

FS is still a hole as well but Jerry has stated we would look to free agency for that position.

Williamson would be a very good pick up at # 20, it does take WRs time to really produce big time but the new rules have cut some of that time and a lot of recent WR 1st round picks have really produced from the start, ie; Arizona's Boldin, TB's Mark Clayton, Houston's Andre Johnson, Det's Roy Williams.
There obviously has been some duds as well but getting Williamson now makes perfect sense as the guy doesnt need to produce right away and learns behind to mature guys in Glenn and Key who are now at stages of their career where they will help a rookie learn and not be so concerned about there stats. He would also give us a threat that could scare some people due to his speed if Glenn gets hurt again Crayton and Morgan won't scare anyone, they're adequate at best, not scary. Williamson's speed would also help us strech the field and allow Witten to be that much better and let Keyshawn do what he SHOULD be doing, run across the middle and underneath routes. I hated seeing him be our deep guy last year as he just cant out run any DB. Keyshawn may not want to admit it but its the truth, he should not be our deep threat.
I'll say it, but it goes without saying that a speedy deep threat like Williamson, if he caught just 1 or 2 deep TDs early in the year would really help Julius get a big, big year in rushing as we'd force teams away from 8 in the box.
A deep threat would also limit blitzes from the secondary positions and keep Bledsoe alive.

actually if we were to pass on the best FS in this years class (pool) for an oversized SS i would be pissed. we do not need help at the SS position and after davis ran a 4.61 40, i don't think he could even make it back there. He and roy are the same players with roy being much more athletic.

WR's take a couple of years to develope? No they dont. WR and RB are one of the most prepared positions to play now in the NFL Look at Anquan Boldin and Roy Williams. Running routes doesnt change from college to the NFL to much. Its just they have to learn to fake out DB's They have a couple game learning curve if they are good WR's then they start to produce. Its not like Williamson will be a #2 he would be our 3 and could be a sitational deepthreat.

If our draft went that way (all 3 picks) I'd cry tears of joy.

I love the first 2 picks but not sure on the 2nd rounder but If we got DJ and williamson that would be a GREAT first round!

I think chances are we will sign a FS but if we dont we might go after a "Large" CB in the later rounds and move him to FS

WRs usually do take a long time to develop. Boldin and Williams are the exception, not the rule. Although Williams (and future WRs) benefit from the rules changes making it much easier on WRs. So yeah, in the future it won't be tough on WRs to develop being that they can run free and undisturbed down the field.

Stupid rules.
