Michael Jenkins, Roddy White?

Will Williamson now be worth something with a potential WR on the other side.

Will Rice be better than Williamson (He doesnt have to do much.)

Is this guy that bad? Many talked about him going in the 1st round. He's big, fast, good stats. The clips I've seen of him look alot like Calvin Johnson clips: jumping over people to catch balls and then falling down. I don't know.

:shrug: I also have heard talk of Rice being a 1st round pick, big, fast and good hands, kind what you look for in a WR?
 
I am a Gamecock fan and I will tell you that there is a huge difference between the two. First of all they are both Holtz guys not Spurrier guys. Rice is young and raw but he has a tremendous upside. Very athletic with great ability to get up and get the ball. Makes very acrobatic plays. Williamson should have never been drafted in the first round. He was a speed guy with poor hands. In his college career he took more short routes and turned them into big gains. I never saw him as a NFL WR when he played in college. Sidney on the other hand could be a #1 WR in two to three years. He has alot of potential.

Ditto. Gamecock here. And a Bear fan. I was pleased when you selected Troy. I went "Oh, crap ..." when you took Sidney. I would've LOVED to have had the Bears take him in the 1st. You just got a solid WR. All Troy has is speed.
 
If Williamson could develop his hands, he'd be a dangerous deep threat. Vikes have the potential of having two good young receivers and a young QB. They need a lot of things to go right though for this receiving corps to be competitive.

Heard they determined he had bad eyes, no hands. They say they fixed it using eye exercises. If so he will catch everything in site. If not somebody sold him some snake oil.
 
I'm curious to see how Williamson performs with the eyesight correction. I will be targetting him later on in redrafts as he could be great value.

As for Sidney Rice, I have watched a lot of SEC football, even up here in New England. What I draw from his potential boils down to his performance against one of the highly touted (though a 2nd round) DBs in today's draft, Chris Houston of Arkansas.

In their head to head meeting last season, Rice owned Houston (7 recs/126 yds). The same could not be said for some of the other high profile WRs that played head to head against Houston last season and were drafted today. They are:

Dwayne Bowe - LSU 5/68

Robert Meacham - Tennessee 4/65

Dwayne Jarrett - USC, 5/35

Take it for what it's worth, gentlemen.

 
I live in Minnesota and know Williamsons struggles all too well. When you are drafted to catch a ball, and you just plain cant do it you end up having a very big problem. If Rice is worse then Williamson the Vikings have the two worst players in the league probably starting for them at WR. For some positions i believe you can draft on the basis that you can teach and coach a player up. I do not believe WR is one of those positions. Yes they can get better ex. route running, seperation, strength, but first and foremost you need to be able to catch. This is something a WR drafted in the 1st round should already have. Moss success played into this Williamson pick, and its coming back to haunt them now. Williamson never was and never will be a good WR, maybe a future on the U.S track team. For Vikings fans sake Rice at worst better not drop alot of balls. With the Peterson pick best option might be to go to the wishbone j/k. Playbooks best plays will be Taylor run, Peterson run, T. Jackson run. Im suprised they did not trade down and try to get 2 or 3 receivers. Throw enough sh-t at a wall and something will stick theory.
