You don't know what you are talking about.

Nive ambiguous insult. Enlighten me then. Benson has taken a huge pounding for 4 years, had more carries than anyone last year, and is known as a player who will take a play off every now and then -- please correct me?

please...

Benson and Cadillac are easily second banana when you have a guy like Ronnie Brown who is faster and stronger, yet has nothing even a 1/10th of the mileage on him....

I'll be surprised if Williams gets drafted by anyone. Too many questions that could have been answered had he played last year.

Oh well. It's not like he wasn't warned about this. Live and learn, I guess.

Now we have the enigma choice. Antrell Rolle? Mike Williams? Aaron Rodgers? Trade?

I also believe the Emmitt Smith went rather low in the draft, so with RB's it is really a crap shoot, I think.

Emmitt Smith was a first round pick. 7th pick overall, if I recall correctly.

Knowing how Green likes QB's and WR's, I bet he's going to pick Mike Williams, or maybe even Aaron Rogers.

Arizona's next, then Washington, then the Lions.

Well, I guess you can both go for a walk--you both wanted Williams....

I gotta tell you though---drafts are fun unless some team messes things up--

As far as Mike Tice is concerned, count me among the ones that are surprised he is still with the team...

This is true. They got a good player. They just didn't get the right player. And since he was on the board, in my opinion there can be no excuse.

But if taking Williams, which was a no-brainer for this team, doesn't happen then what makes anyone think they'll do any better with the second pick in the round?

Oh, well. It's only football. And the Twins got snowed out today in Cleveland so it looks like a slow day.

Are you drunk? The Vikings were IDIOTS for not drafting him.

Aaron Rodgers would be perfect for the Cardinals with Kurt Warner starting for a couple years and bringing Rodgers along.

This Lions fan is very pleased that we aren't facing him twice a year.

Sean Salisbury was right. He'll be a steal for any team that takes him now.

Williamson has blazing speed, But the Vikings could have traded down and still gotten Williams, Mark Clayton or even Williamson later in the round.

Agreed. They could have gone defense and still got a receiver later.
