I was listening to the local ESPN radio here in Baltimore. From 9 AM - 1 PM is a local sports analyst/commentator Mark Viviano. He had Eric DeCosta the Ravens scouting director on his show and was talking about player in the upcoming draft. Here is what I remember him saying from that show:
1- If you are looking for a Franchise runningback and are in the top 10 you are virtually guarunteed to get one. He named Carnell Williams and Ronnie Brown in particular. He then added in Cedric Benson and was also of the franchise calibur, but he did not think Benson was nearly as talented as the other two.
2- They were talking about Wide Recievers and Decosta said flat out that he thought Mike Williams was not worth trading up for....to anyone. He said if he had his pick between Mike Williams and Troy Williamson that he would likely pick Williamson. He said he knows what Mike Williams is capable of and he thinks that Williamson has a higher ceiling for for overall skills than Williams has.
So that's what I heard before I had to turn off the car and go into work. I was pretty blown away while I was listening to this...what do you guys think?
*EDIT*
Oh and he also said that he doesn't think that there is a franchise calibur QB in this draft. And that neither Rodgers or Smith are really worthy of the first overall pick in the draft.
