In order to get a decent 2nd pick we'd have to trade down and get Carlos Rogers (who I like a lot by the way!) I'm not going to cry if we get a CB or a WR, but I'd like one of the top 3 of either of those! (Williams, Williamson, Edwards, Jones, Rolle, Rogers in no particular order.)
He's definitely a good project, but I remember the Ravens drafted a kid just like that. Huge, good hands, great speed, great verticle, played at a small school and hasn't even seen the field. Never know what you get.

As far as WR's go it work's both way's wasen't david Terrell just released, and we have had our own share of first rd WR flop's. We both can point to guy's who missed and made it in the top 10 and in the later rounds. I really don't like to put a lot of emphisis on stats, or a player's physical dimension's, but more so 1st and formost is he a instinctive football player? And how does he move, is he quick rather than fast, is he fast rather than quick? How does he get in and out of his cut's? Can he create seperation in a short area? Does he know how to use his size to his advantage? Then you can add in the stats. To many guy's as you have hinted at pad their stats against inferior competition, I don't believe that's the case here, my judgement here is what I saw from him at the combine and his body of work in college will translate into the NFL. I was very surprised to see how well this guy run's and cut's for his size, I defiently wasen't expecting it but he really opened my eye's.
I think he's the player we should target in the second rd. but I don't think it will happen.
As for Rolle I like the kid I think he would be perfect for Williams system, I know Pac man has the speed but a little short on instinct, and I really haven't seen Rogers play to make a fair assesment, but I am not against that scenerio either, as for Rolle he has Sean Taylor like instinct's at CB could easily play saftey.
