For a first rounder? Wowza. Jerry Jones must be on something.

Re: TWO ROY WILLIAMS, ONE TEAM - crap ass receiver traded to Cowobys

Roy Williams the WR is actually pretty good, when he feels like playing.

For the Lions, it's a great deal -- they get a 1st when they would have got nothing.

Other reported versions of the deal say they get two 2nd-rounders, which might actually turn out to be a better deal for the Lions. You can usually pick up solid OL and DL picks in the second, and that's what the Lions need more than anything.

Good deal for the Lions getting the first rounder. With their craptastic QB play, they certainly weren't getting anything out of him now.

Re: TWO ROY WILLIAMS, ONE TEAM - butterfingered receiver traded to Cowboys

Agreed, sorta. And fixed to reflect a better opinion on him. I think its a good day when you can draft a guy in the first round, trade him five years later for a first round pick. The Lions have two now; lets see if they unloaded Kitna for a bag of medical tape. The day can still get better.

Wow... That's one hell of a receiving corps Brad Johnson will be throwing to.

Roy Williams played JV quarterback for Permian.

Maybe, the Cowgirls traded for him to start this week. He's a better option than Brad Johnson.

Why are you speculating as if the Lions are run by rational, logical individuals?

Well played. The lineman they draft with this pick will be out of the league by 2012. But by 2011, they will trade him to an AFC team for a 6th round pick, which they will waste on a player that makes the roster for one season returning punts. Said player will take the place of another player who is cut in training camp. That player will end up on a team like the Broncos and be a 1,000 yard rusher.

Millen was the chief idiot, he is gone.

By definition anything and everything done by Millen was going to be a disaster; now that other people are calling the shots there is some hope for basic-level competence.

ESPN at odds with the Dallas News ... they reported no first round pick.

Re: TWO ROY WILLIAMS, ONE TEAM - butterfingered receiver traded to Cowboys

Not sure if this was just updated on the blog or not, but it's saying a first, third and sixth for Williams and Detroit's seventh. High price for any player.

I told you. DMN and Freep are on top of this. ESPN is not.

And the seventh rounder/sixth rounder could be back to back picks. They are ultimately meaningless. It is basically a first and a third, which is still great.

Re: TWO ROY WILLIAMS, ONE TEAM - butterfingered receiver traded to Cowboys

The first round pick won't be worth too much anyway if the Cowboys can actually make the playoffs. And knowing Jerry, on draft day he'll be working something to find a first round pick.

We were talking in the office about how many times teams had players with the same name on the roster. Then we discussed the possibilty of an all Jason (and various spellings) Williams NBA team. It would suck though.

And whoever was responsible for this trade may be the only competent man in the Lions organization.

Re: TWO ROY WILLIAMS, ONE TEAM - butterfingered receiver traded to Cowboys

Neither site has sources; unless you count ESPN's anonymous source as credible. I'll believe it when I see it. ESPN has been wrong way too many times for me to take them at their word.

Re: TWO ROY WILLIAMS, ONE TEAM - butterfingered receiver traded to Cowboys

I posted this on another thread, but here seems like a better home.

So the Cowboys can line up (when healthy)on any given play TO, Williams, Witten, Barber and Jones?

****-o-lay

The price is steep, but that is a ****er for a defensive coordinator to plan against.

Crayton and Austin aren't bad No. 3 and No. 4 receivers either.

I was just thinking of the skill they could throw on the field at one time.

Witten is a ***** of a match-up.

 

[mustangj17]

Re: TWO ROY WILLIAMS, ONE TEAM - butterfingered receiver traded to Cowboys

Crayton is about as good a No.3 as they come, the only one better might be Steve Breaston in Arizona but that's a little early to tell.

And yeah, what an offense they have there. Roy Williams is now a good ff player again.

Re: TWO ROY WILLIAMS, ONE TEAM - butterfingered receiver traded to Cowboys

I can only assume they made this deal because they're going to teach him how to play corner so he can take Pacman's place while he's out.

When both Roy Williamses were in college the fans at Oklahoma referred to the Texas Roy Williams as "Fake Roy Williams".
