Edwards vs Williams the debate
The Case for Mike Williams- 30 Touchdowns in 26 College games, for a team that went 27-3 during that span. Big, strong target at 6-4 230' . Very difficult to press. Very good accleeration not pure speed is how he gets open. Runs well and in stride for his size. Can break at near full-speed. Great body control for his size. Long arms, to go with very good hand-eye coordination. Can adjust to poorly thrown ball.
Case against- could get possibly to big to be a Wr ala David Boston. Not fast, not very elusive in the open field. Potential rust for year lay off.
My current NFL Comparsion-Plaxico Burress with more speed out of the blocks, but not as much down the field, and more natural pass-catching skills. I would also compare him to Andre Johnson though not as fast, but with more size.
The Case for Braylon Edwards- Thirty-nine touchdowns the last three years, a player that seems to be still developing. Good size at around 6'3, 210. Good stregth tough match-up one on one. Showed ability in the vertical passing game during college. Great leaping ability, and body control. Tough runner, after the catch . Should know how to conduct himself as a pro due to the example set by his father former Lion Stanley Edwards. Experts speak of him as the most complete player in the draft.
Case against-Could do better against a zone, and sometimes loses focus, but never seems to when it counts. Didn't run great at workout.
My Current NFL Comparsion-Javon Walker and Donald Driver combination. Walker's physical attributes, combined with Drivers' burst.
Verdict: Looking over scouting reports of these two their seems to be very little difference. Mike Williams could be near unstoppable in the intermediate passing game. I think both have Pro-Bowl ability. These are my first two choices to be wearing Purple and Gold. I give the edge to Edwards because of his speed although I have seen reports on that ranging from 4.42 to 4.58. This is why Scouts generally rate Edwards ahead, and why he probably will not be avalible for the Vikings at 7. If not I am sastified with a Mike Williams selection.
