Roy Williams (WR) for a 2nd Round Pick?

• Last year, he had 63 catches for 836 yards and 5 TDs, in 12 games. Over a 16 game season, that extrapolates to 84 catches, 1136 yards, and 7 TDs.

• In 2006, he played a full season, and posted 82 catches, 1310 yards, and 7 TDs.

• In his first two years in the league (2004 and 2005), he had 8 TDs in each season, despite missing seven games over the course of those two years.

• Last year, Roy averaged 4.6 YAC compared to Santana Moss' 3.1 and Randle-El's 3.6.

• He was a Pro Bowler after his stellar 2006 season. If he didn't get hurt and miss the last 4 games of this past season, he probably would have been a Pro Bowler then too.

• He'll be 27 when the 2008 season starts.

He's one of the best young WRs in football. Which NFL are you watching?

nice analysis. no need to be an ass, though. i just think there is more to the story, as far as Detroit wanting to unload him

My apologies on the snide remark. Was just a little surprised to hear anyone suggest he was anything short of the cream of the crop at his position.

If there's a reason he wants out of Detroit, my guess is he simply thinks the team sucks, and he'd like to push a trade to a team who'd be willing to rework his deal and give him his big signing bonus now (as opposed to him waiting for free agency and the possibility of getting tagged by Detroit).

He's probably afraid of getting stuck in Detroit for his whole career.

apology accepted. it just seems like that price tag is way too cheap, for someone that has the talent that Williams has. and i wouldn't want to be stuck there, either

I think the seemingly low price tag is an indication that this will not happen. All we've seen is this one source indicating that a 2nd round pick would do it. I echo the sentiments of other posters in this thread, I don't buy that at all. It will definitely take a 1st rounder to get Roy.

If it is factual that a 2nd rounder would get him, I would say go fo it. But I honestly doubt they let him go.
