[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 489160"] "Sloppy body" is relative. 6'3", 360lb. football players are basically sumo wrestlers in miniature. I've read he's less sloppy than one might expect. Scouts will have a better idea when he strips to shorts and gets on the scale at the Combine. On the other hand, if he's at one of those Combine prep training centers and shows up at 340 lbs. and lifts like one would expect, he'll be out of reach. I agree Ertz is probably not a good value in the 1st. Combine will tell us if that's right or wrong. I think Williams will stick, unless the team has a good idea that Williams' shoulder nerve damage from 2011 has lingered and is the cause of his sudden loss of physicality. Otherwise, he'll get every chance to return to 2010 form. Heyward's set at nickel; House hasn't been able to stay healthy. If House beats out Williams, then it could get interesting, but that won't happen until after the draft and worthy FAs are gone. Shields still needs to get signed, which might not be a slam dunk. A good team in need of a cover guy might give up a low 1st. rounder for him under a high restricted tag if management tries to cheap out. Williams is kind of a replay of Shields last offseason...a very good cover guy (which is not easy to replace) who suddenly can't tackle well. He'll likely get every chance to return to form. Personally, given the choice between Woodson at $10 mil and Finley at $8 mil, I'd take Finley. And I'm not sure what renegotiating Woodson would accomplish...his physical skills have eroded to the point where he shouldn't be on the island, we've got our nickel back, he's not the physical guy (and not that effective to begin with) at safety, and the serial shoulder injuries are troublesome.
