Default Damn, I sure hope Williams falls

I have been watching highlight videos of Deangelo Williams, and boy is that guy great when he totes the rock. I was very much against the pats draftin a RB in the 1st for a while there, but he just looks like he would be a great fit for our O. In the highlights he'd be outrunning everyone fullspeed then slow down and patiently follow his blockers befor jettin to the endzone. Reminded me alot of a poor mans Barry Sanders. I think it would be alot easier for us to fill most of the holes we have through later rounds of the draft and FA, but to pick up a guy this fast, smart, and threatining would really pick up the slack for Tom. He could sit and learn fRom Dillon, and be a good change of pace back to give Coreys old legs a rest. If he fell to us, I'd like to see it happen. Anyone else?

He has great stats but they guy looks tiny. I dont see him wearing down any defense whatsoever.

You're right about his size. He is 5'8" but I believe he showed up at the combine weighing 217 lbs. Just an example of some nfl size deficient backs.

T. Barber-5'10" 200lbs.
C. Portis-5'11' 212lbs.
W. Dunn-5'9" 180lbs.

Just to throw a few out there. I don't know what is more important to success as a back though. Height or weight. I would have to say weight, IMO.

BB would love to have Deangelo Williams. Puts pressure on any defense any time he's on the field. Fast, shifty, strong, can catch the ball. KR's, PR's...... I would love to see him drafted by us. I just don't think they'll go offense at 21.

Just to add to the thread. PFT is reporting that Deangelo was just clocked in at running the 40 in 4.38 at his proday workout. I gues the running surface and weather were bad too. Possibly bumped him too far out of our range??
