Rivers, G.Jones, Cobbs

Any chance of Rivers or one of the bigger backs in rd 2 or 3. Granted Fitz is young and has talent, but had trouble getting off the line against Miami, who had the best talent he faced all year. Yes he can improve. Why not trade down and add picks and go for Roy Williams?

Greg Jones might fall to to us in the 2nd, although there are questions about his vision and quickness to the hole. He could be a beast in Norv's offense, though.

Rivers likely has moved into the 1st round.

And as much as I like Roy, WR just isn't a big enough need for us to spend our #1 pick on one, IMO. Too many holes on defense for a "flashy" pick like that.

Fitz may never be more than a Keyshawn Johnson clone, minus the attitude. He may turn out to be the next great WR, but I'd say it's 50/50 right now.

Roy Williams is a complete player and I would be interested in seeing what he could do in a passhappy offense. Mack Brown loved to use Cedric Benson and that hurt Williams' production, but I know he could have done better if the ball was always coming his way. As far as 2nd round RBs go, I doubt we could get Jones or Rivers in the second. The Cowboys and pats want Jones and the Dolphins want rivers. Trading picks for Roy Williams is a good idea, I just dont know whose picks we really want.
