Roy Williams (WR) for a 2nd Round Pick?

i don't understand why everyone is jumping all over Williams for a second round pick. when Hall is available, for a first rounder, and far the more proven player. is there that much of a difference between the 2 picks? in my opinion, we need a corner far more then we need a wide out. and i think there is more to Williams just wanting out of Detroit

yeah we need a corner and a WR not sure which one is a more needed thing right now

I think that people are jumping on it cause it is a 2009 pick and because it is 2nd round not first

wow only a 2nd rounder sounds tempting but what is up with his injury that had him out last year?

if he is injury free I make the trade immidiately

Why would we trade a high pick for any player when we have FREE agency ?? Hall gets burned every time I see a falcons game , didn't T.O . burn him BAD this past year ? I just hope we draft a DE and a C/G , maybe we can make 3rd and shorts look easy , and get some heat on the QB . I could see an 09 for Williams , but screw Hall / Briggs , just wasting $$$

Springs got burned bad by Owens this year, too. do you want to cut him?

IMO I could see where a deal for Williams would be considered an option since we have identified a [bigger WR] as a target of need.

However, could it be that DJ Hackett would be a better option, maybe less costly, and more famaliar with what the offense will be doing? [considering his availability] Granted Williams would seem attractive, it could be that our needs would be better served by using our top two picks to address our long neglected needs on the DL.

It's not like our WR corps is in shambles, the need for a 3tech. DT along with a DE with dual ability would be more important acquisitions. When/if either of these type players are available, every effort should be made to secure them mainly because of how difficult they are to procure.

Because a 2nd rounder (especially next year) for a #1 wideout is a bargain. The Falcons are looking for "at least" a #1 for Hall.

Hall feels 'stabbed in back' by Falcons | ajc.com (http://www.ajc.com/search/content/sports/falcons/stories/2008/02/22/hallburst_0223.html)

Hall has also been a malcontent (of course if I was in ATL I'd be pretty pissed off too) this season.

I think Detroit is pretty much in the same position with Williams as Atlanta is with Hall, except that publicly Williams is saying the right things.

yea, i definately agree with your post. i'd rather the skins get hackett, at a reasonable price, and use the 2nd pick on a dl,ol or cb.
