If the Jags are looking for offensive help -- I would agree with Kiper and go OL... WRs tend to take a while to develop and although Cadillac should be able to step in and be effective right away, I doubt he would get much playing time with Fred Taylor and Greg Jones in the mix.A top OL, like Jammal Brown of Oklahoma could help a lot. Maybe open up bigger holes for Taylor or give more time for Byron Leftwich.
here's why i went away from brown, a guy i considered and actually at first thought slam-dunk would be my pick. he's played RT throughout college, he seems to project at RT, and the jaguars already have Williams at RT, and he's been exclusively a RT for years now. Maybe one could switch, but I'm not expert enough on this topic to project a position switch and whether or not it would be an upgrade over Pearson (assuming he is ready to play during training camp). And anyway, Pearson and Williams are young guys. I sorta hated the idea of using my 1st round pick to replace one of them.
If the draft shakes out the way we have it, its hard to see the jags passing on pollack/tuck/roth or their favorite CB left. the cupboard is bare at DE and CB2. they already have a #1 WR in the making in reggie williams, so i just dont see taking another project like williamson.
i think i covered most of this in my writeup, but i can add here that williamson has a different skill-set from williams, which makes them an attractive combo. and anyway, there's no difference between saying the cupboard is bare at CB2 and saying the cupboard is bare at WR2. also, WRs take longer to develop, so if you can project a need in a year or 2 that you'd like to fill through the draft, it makes sense to make that pick now.
What made Williamson stand out in your opinion over Clayton and potential WRs you could get in the 2nd? His ypc at 19+ and near/better 4.4 (Speed)? His 6'2, 200lb frame (Size)? He does have past injury issues and he is a little raw.
i liked the contrast in skills between williamson and williams for one. i also thought the speed will give them some much needed ability to stretch the field, even this year. last, williamson seems to be charging up draft boards and clayton falling. at the beginning of the year, you would see clayton ranked about even with edwards, now williamson seems to be the wr3 on more boards.
