College Players The Eagles Are Interested In

[ice grillin you]

nope...some players games translate to the nfl level and then theres jimmy williams...he will be lost in the league...

[The BIGSTUD]

Nah, he'll be a stud. He's a blanket.

Jimmy Williams was a great college corner.

We don't need a corner, but someone is going to be very happy with him.

He got more attention than he deserved because of his size. Not saying he'll be a bad player, just don't think he'll be anything special, and certainly wouldn't want my team to spend a 1st on him. The Matt Ware comparison igy made was spot on, they're similar players.

Jimmy Williams is not a Matt Ware clone, imo he will be a very good pro everytime I watched Va Tech play the dude was making plays.  Don't be so quick to write off Matt Ware by the way, it took Lito and Sheldon a few years before they did anything.

Where do you guys think Kiwakuna will be taken at? 

[The BIGSTUD]

Yeah, Matt Ware clone... where does this come from? Every time I've seen him play he locks down receivers and makes plays.

The Matt Ware clone seems to me like something derived from looking at two players bio's with their height and weight, and say LOOK HE'S 6'3 AND SO IS MATT WARE! HE'S A MATT WARE CLONE!

jimmy williams only chance at contributing in the league as was matt wares would be at safety...they are both to slow tall and lanky to play corner...if williams can make the transisition to safety he has a chance but i highly doubt it....bottom line is he has no chance at being an nfl cornerback....and a limited chance at being an nfl starter in general

Late first early second. His stock has plummeted too.

Brown and Sheppard showed signs of being good players, Ware hasn't so far. I really hope JJ takes a long look at him as a Safety during TC. I didn't follow UCLA too closely but from what I hear he was a better college safety than he was a CB.

There aren't many 6'3 athletic CBs (aside from Ware are there any?)  in the league so it's a natural comparison to make.

I disagree. From what I've seen at the college level, he'd make a fine corner. He doesn't get beat often and he can stay with his man.

[ice grillin you]

hes way to slow to play corner in the league

[The BIGSTUD]

He's not that slow.

[SD_Eagle5]

He's not that slow.

10. Jimmy Williams - CB - Virginia Tech
Big, athletic senior cornerback was considered a possible top-10 selection entering his final season but failed to impress in many areas. He has not shown well-developed technique or instincts related to zone coverage. He can be slow to react and reckless at times, making him vulnerable to big plays. He had an average workout at Virginia Tech from a speed and agility standpoint. He is not a quick twitch player and his ability to make the transition in coverage is suspect against NFL-caliber receivers. He has the size and athleticism to move to free safety where he carries a starting grade, but he must go through a learning curve at a new position. He probably goes late in the first round, but is not in the top 15 prospects in a deep cornerback class

Well this report says otherwise.

[The BIGSTUD]

That's fine.

I can only vouch for myself and what I saw watching him play.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Another Eagles 1st round sleeper pick:  Johnathan Joseph, CB, South Carolina.

[MadMarchHare]

That's fine.

Against Big East/ACC competition.  McMullen looked awesome in the ACC too.
