Not exactly the marquee trade that the Jaguars were probably (hopefully) looking for at WR (you may remember I suggested Javon Walker), but the Jaguars are only giving up their 6th round pick, so it's no big loss. Williamson has raw speed, some return potential, but not much else. His struggles with actually catching balls have been blamed, by him, on vision problems, however his attempts to correct it have, thus far, failed. One can only really hope that the Jaguars find some way to get some production out of him and, if they don't, this is probably his last stop in the NFL.
In an interesting sidebar, the Vikings originally drafted Troy Williamson, LB Napoleon Harris, and CB Adrian Tice with the picks they received for Randy Moss. None of those players are still with the team now. In addition, the Raiders, after giving up all that, eventually dealt Moss to the Patriots for only a 4th round pick. So he's managed to hurt quite a few teams on his way to the Pats. It's for this reason that I would never support his inclusion in the Hall of Fame, as too much of his career was spent not playing because the team he worked for didn't perform up to his standards. That's not the kind of attitude you want in the HoF.
In another sidebar, Harris, long considered an underachiever, somewhat reinvented himself with the Chiefs this year, quietly putting up 116 Tackles.
