every report that i read said he ran a 4.56 and a 4.62...

does anyone have a link on this 4.4 he ran?

[DraftBoy]

SportCenter said a sub 4.5 too

Denve has to be after Andrews IMO, they need to OL now especially with a new RB and D's that will be coming for jakes head.

Mother Nature is reporting that the winds at USC were anywhere between 15 and 27 MPH on the day of the workout. She estimates the winds were at about 21.3 MPH during the first run and 19.6 during the run against the wind!

I will keep you posted.

Pastabelly is wrong so many times its not even funny. I dont know why you think this kid is so bad. Hes got size and apparently better speed then we all thought at first running a 4.5 40 is fast enough for his size. I dont think you have to worry T he'll be done by our pick IMO. Or he may not even be in the draft at all.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: APRIL 8
This was Mike Williams' personal Pro Day, which took place in Tampa at the University of South Florida. He ran outdoors on a rubber track. Cardinals coach Denny Green was there, as was Bears GM Jerry Angelo. In fact, every team with a pick in the top 10 pick had someone there, but not all 32 teams were present.
Player Position Gil's comments

Mike Williams WR Williams (6-4 5/8, 228) ran his 40s for times of 4.56 with the wind and 4.62 against the wind. He had a 37-inch vertical jump, a 10-1 long jump, a 4.34 short shuttle and a 6.84 three-cone. They say he looked good in the workout.

You can find this on nfl.com.

Now if only we can find a link to confirm this draft trade....

[The Spaz]

CINCINNATI -- The Denver Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals swapped first-round draft picks in a trade Friday that also sent cornerback Deltha O'Neal to Cincinnati and gave the Bengals a fourth-round pick.

The deal will allow Denver to move up to the No. 17 overall selection in the first round, while the Bengals received the Broncos' No. 24 overall slot in the first round.

Along with receiving O'Neal, Cincinnati also got the Broncos' fourth round pick at No. 117 overall.

O'Neal saw limited action as a kick returner and wide receiver last season for Denver.

maybe he is not so bad.. but i can promise you, if we ignore the OL and DL in the first day of this draft.. we will have a losing season.. again..........

we dont need a wr..

we need ol and dl, and a qb.

I can agree with that although I think WR is an issue we need to address in the top 5 rounds.

I can't remember where I read it, but it was after the Mike Williams workout. I understand first, that the workout was in Florida, not So Cal. I also understand in general that these private workouts are hand timed by the scouts who attend them. It's easy to see where discrepancies of a tenth of a second or more can crop up in these reported times. I understand that Mike Williams' workout was done on a fast track and if a sub-4.5 was run, scouts are not making a huge deal out of it. Bottom line: Mike Williams is no burner, but he's not as slow as feared, and with his height and vertical leap, he is probably something of a deep threat anyway.

I don't care who Denver picks...Cinci wins this trade.
