I could be wrong about this, but I think the Colts made a serious mistake in bypassing Ricky Williams. I think he ll make them regret it for years, even while Edgerrin James is catching 65 balls a season from Peyton Manning.
Eastern football needs a brutish inside-running horse.
There is no better brutish inside runner in the recent history of college football than Williams. That leads me to my point of this draft. Everyone s talking about how New Orleans badly overpaid to get Ricky Williams, but Saints G.M. Bill Kuharich is just responding to NFL historical reality. Teams have learned that the team getting the high pick usually does better in the trade than the team getting the basket of picks. With justification, the value of high first-round picks went through the roof last week.
