Quality depth was more of a pressing need at cornerback than at wideout. Rogers solidifies a position for the Skins that was woefully weak below the top 2 corners, Springs and Harris. Even Harris is a bit of a question mark.

On the other hand, the Skins can still get an outstanding receiver at #25, and receiver (while still a weakspot) is not as much of a pressing need as corner. If they had taken Williams at #9, they would've picked up an excellent offensive weapon, but they wouldn't have been able to get near the caliber of cornerback at #25 as they did with Rogers at #9.

Good pick in my opinion, though it would've been great to have Williams at wideout. I'm just glad they didn't blow the draft by trading up to get Edwards.
