Positives - Reggie Williams was a high draft pick by the Jag’s and has a lot of talent. He actually appears to have increased his speed and strength during the off-season. He is still considered the #2 WR for the Jaguars and with the Jacksonville running game having some question marks, QB Byron Leftwich may be throwing more often. You would think that opposing DEFs primary focus would be on stopping Jimmy Smith, so if Williams can perform he should get adequate looks. Lastly, Jacksonville has a favorable SOS against pass DEFs.

Negatives - The primary “knock” on William’s is that he tends to have “hands of stone”. It will not take long for Williams to be replaced by Troy Edwards or Ernest Wilford if his consistency catching the football does not improve. There is also rookie Matt Jones in the background.

Draft Strategy - Again looking for value in players left on the board. I still needed some complimentary TEs, but at this point the value still seemed to lie with the WRs. Williams is a touted “sleeper” pick and was a better compliment to my line-up than Darius Watts who shared a BYE week with WR Lee Evans whom I had already taken.
