Now I have an image of trolls in thongs in my head. That's just sick!

DJ Williams...man, I got tired of waiting on him. Tyrone Davis, Bubba Franks, David Martin...Tory Humphrey...Brandon Bostick...Shoot, I was excited about Zac freaking Alcorn. We've not done well over the years at that position. I'd be surprised if we ever got Bubba Franks level of performance out of RR.

When a rental like Keith Jackson stands out as about the best you've seen with Finley, Jackie Harris, Chmura and Paul Coffman you haven't lit it up at that position over the years. Heck, Gary Lewis stands out at that position and all he did is block FG's.

The odds are not in his favor. He's be out in the hunger games right away.

TO SUMMARIZE: Comparable speed, drafted in same round, did way more than Finley did as a rook, actually knows how to run routes (played WR in college) smart enough to understand the game plan without Aaron Rodgers having to take a special night before the game just to explain it to him, shuts his pie hole, does his job, does not proclaim he's "taking over the league" every year.

Damn, what's not to like?

The thing is I don't think we need a Gronk or Graham or Gonzo or Gates type TE (do we have any on the roster whose name starts with G? I'd keep him for sure) to be effective. Sure it would be nice but I think a Coffman or Chmura type would be sufficient. I'm not sure we have one of those though.
