This pick I have seen a couple of times, and it worries me:

Strengths: Has adequate-to-good height and speed. Is quick and reaches top-speed in a hurry. A vertical threat who actually plays faster than his 40-speed would indicate. He shows very good initial burst and will drive defenders off the ball. He shows burst when chasing down the deep ball in the air and he adjusts very well to it. He has above average hands and shows the ability to consistently catch over his head. He's at his best working against man-coverage. He is quick after the catch and will make the first defender miss more often than not. He lacks great elusiveness but he shows a second-gear if he catches a crease after the catch.
Weaknesses: Has had durability issues that have slowed him. He has decent bulk but could stand to get bigger and stronger. He possesses adequate-to-good speed but not elite speed. He has been too inconsistent. Will disappear in some games. Seems to be a WR that needs to get involved early on or else he'll become frustrated. He must improve his consistency and feel reading coverages. He doesn't show a great feel for finding soft spots in zone coverage. He lacks crispness as route runner and needs to gear down too much before getting into his breaks. He gets sloppy at times and rounds off his routes. His effort as a blocker is inconsistent.
Overall: Williams redshirted in 2001 and played a backup role as a redshirt freshman in 2002. He took over as a fulltime starter in 2003, finishing with 51 receptions for 935 yards and eight TDs. As a junior in 2004, Williams finished with 47 receptions for 593 yards and two TDs. As a senior in 2005, Williams finished with 1,059 yards and 10 touchdowns on 59 receptions. Williams was hampered by a nagging turf toe injury in 2004, which helps to explain his dip in production. Healthy as a senior in 2005, Williams re-emerged as a consistent and dangerous threat. Williams' lack of elite bulk and top-end speed will cause him to slip a bit on draft day. He also needs to improve his crispness as a route runner and become more consistent with his concentration. However, Williams has the height, agility, body control and playmaking skills to emerge as a starting receiver in the NFL. He has too many red flags and limitations to consider in the first two rounds, but Williams warrants third round consideration in the 2006 draft.
The description is from Scouts Inc.. A second rounder? When he had a very good quarterback & pro style offence to work in? He reminds me of Bethel w/ out the speed (and what is left...).
