ck, where did you see that? Faulk has gone #1 in every projection and draft I 've seen, while Williams is in the 5-10 range.
Anyway, though James is not someone I'd want to meet in a dark alley, the evidence shows that throughout their first 3 years, Williams was NOT in James' class, as he led the league in rushing his 1st 2 years, and was averaging over 100 a game when he got hurt.
