    That is pure speculation. A few years ago Detroit fans were porbably saying;
    "if we could just draft Mike Williams, he would be better than any of our WRs".

    Write those names down and see where all those guys are in 4 years.

    I've been following the NFL draft since the early 80's (I call them the Eddie Biles years) and pretty much every pick is a gamble I still remember when the Oilers passed on Jerry Rice to take a corner named Richard Johnson. We needed a WR and we decide to take a guy that would never start for us.

    Fast forward to 1989, with the 2nd pick the Green Bay Packers take Tony Mandarich passing on Barry Sanders, Deon Sanders and Derek Thomas all three of which were taken is successive picks after that roid using idiot.

    As a Oiler fan my favorite was moving up in the 87 draft to the 3rd spot to take Alonzo Highsmith who turned out to be the biggest bust of that draft.

    Bill your history is shady because highsmith tore the hell out of his knee. Who can predict that? Without the injury he would have been a good player.

    Tashard choice 5-11 215...4.48 40.

    This guy is as good a prospect as charles or johnson in my opinion and better than slaton. Back to back solid seasons in the acc with ga tech. Perfect size and he can catch the ball. This is the guy to take in rd 3 or 4.
