I really don't know what to say, we could've traded down, we could've picked defense, but going by the board Mike Williams is a STEAL at #10, I thought he wouldn't get past #6. I feel this is a good move, I thought the Vikings would trade UP for Williams. This could work out to be either very very good or very bad. They picked him awfully quick meaning it was like a no-brainer for them. I have no problem having Williams in there, we may have thought we needed a better pash rusher or a better LB to be there for when Holmes retires but we're pretty decent there with Lehman and Bailey. We don't really need a DL THAT bad, Wilkinson, Rogers, Hall, Edwards are all coming along, we have decent cornerbacks and none we there that was worth the 10th pick. Mike Williams is a damn steal at 10 regardless if he's what we NEED the most, he's the best player available and I am very happy with him. Roy Williams and Charles Rogers (god willing) wide out, Mike Williams in the slot. God damn.

Listening to Millen and Mooch on live 97.1 I'm confident they know what they're doing, they drafted increidable last year and this year their plan is in place. They can get Defense in other places, don't have to waste the #10 on an unworthly player when Mike Williams can be a producer from day one.
