Bingo-T.WIll at 7

My thoughts on this have been made known. I wanted Merriman here, they dind't go that direction. I think Merrill Hoge, and Paul Charcain have provided a pretty good breakdown of why? Mike Williams might not have fit the best. Williamson is physically talented, and a really hard worker. Wes Chandler,former San Diego star, and current Vikings WR coach worked him out, and was tremendously impressed by his balance in the mode of a Nate Burleson. They are convinced he will be a star. This is why they have him second on their draft board behind only Ronnie Brown of Auburn. The fans didn't like it, but they didn't like the Kevin Williams pick either, two years ago. I question his route-running, and view him as a boom or bust type player. I also could see him developing into nothing better than a number 2 receiver. We will be comparing him with Mike Williams for years to come.

As far as with 18. They would like David Pollack or Thomas Davis from what I am hearing, or to trade down. I wouldn't rule out a slipping Derrick Johnson, who called that, or maybe trading to team looking to get Aaron Rodgers who I also told you would slip big time. Erasmus James maybe. I expect them to trade down at 18, so they can get an extra pick between 49-80, so they can select Mike Nugent of Ohio State. I'll post again in a while. Wait Davis has just been selected, so look for David Pollack at 18 if he is there. I also wouldn't rule out Marcus Spears.

Here is the take of Scouts, INC and Mel Kiper, JR. on the Williamson pick.

Scouts' take: Having traded Randy Moss, the Vikings desperately need a receiver who is fast enough to draw some attention way from Nate Burleson. There will be surprise that Minnesota took Williamson with Mike Williams still on the board, but Williamson simply has better deep speed. Williamson's explosiveness and ability to make the first defender miss also makes him a threat to turn a short gain into a big play. He should immediately step in as the starter opposite Burleson, allowing Travis Taylor to move into the No. 3 role and Marcus Robinson to the No. 4, giving the Vikings a deep receiving corps. Mel Kiper's take: The Vikings were looking to add speed in the passing game, and Williamson's 4.3 speed does just that. He has decent size to go with that speed and will be a tremendous vertical threat, though he does need to work on his route-running and become more precise there. I would personally have preferred Mike Williams, but the Vikings got just what they were looking for here.
