DeAngelo Williams too small? D'brick best player in Draft?

The buzz today continues to be the two inches that DeAngelo Williams "lost" during the weigh-ins. A few scouts are even starting to whisper "third down back". Even South coach Mike Nolan called him the "little running back" when talking about Williams to reporters. A few fans have noted that Barry Sanders was also 5'8". Just to set the record straight DeAngelo Williams doesn't have anywhere near Sanders agility and moves. His height is going to make a big difference come draft day. To prove that point; before this week Williams was being compared to Curtis Martin. Now he's being compared to a slower Brian Westbrook. If he doesn't turn in an excellent 40 time at the combine, he could fall out of the first round. That being said Williams is still talented. He showed his quickness on some impressive runs and displayed excellent hands. He even did well for a "little running back" during the blocking drills.

D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT, Virginia, might be the top prospect in the draft. Today he pushed around top DE prospect Mathias Kiwanuka in 1-on-1 drills. While Bush, Leinart, and Young get all the press Ferguson could be the best player to come out of this draft. It would be surprising if he gets past the Jets at the fourth pick. They need an offensive tackle and have been very interested in Ferguson. They'd be foolish to pass him up at four. If it wasn't for the need to sell tickets and appease the 'average fan', the Texans would pass on Bush or Young with number one pick and draft Ferguson. They may live to regret passing on such a talent.
