Roy Williams reemerges as catch of draft

Although many teams still have Fitzgerald rated at the top of the wide receiver pool despite the 4.47 he churned out during his workouts last month, at least one AFC rival of the Oakland Raiders believes if they remain in the No. 2 drafting slot in the first round April 24, Al Davis will find it impossible to pass up Roy Williams.

"The Raiders may trade down figuring they can still get a top receiver or an offensive lineman and pick up another pick, but if they go with a receiver, I don't see Davis passing on Roy Williams," the scouting director said. "Teams have patterns. We all do. Al has always loved the kind of speed Roy Williams has.

"Nobody coming out this year can run better than Roy Williams. Fitzgerald has speed, but not like Williams. Mike Williams is a big, possession type of receiver and a lot of teams like him, but there's a big difference between 4.35 or 4.4 and 4.58 to 4.65. One Williams runs 4.35. The other Williams runs 4.55 to 4.65. You tell me which Williams Al Davis would go for?"
