 Atlanta Falcons Draft Recap - 2006 NFL Draft
 This is an extremely hard draft to judge. If Williams can stay out of trouble, it's a good draft, but from every indication that may be a problem long term as he tends to gravitate towards what we call Terrellitis. If he does, he is an absolute steal at the 37th overall pick. He can play cornerback or safety, offering depth to both positions. You also have to realize that John Abraham is a part of this draft when looking at it overall.

Overall Grade: B-

Rd Sel# Player Pos. Ht. Wt. School
2 37 Williams, Jimmy CB 6-2 214 Virginia Tech
You will not find many DB's better than Williams in college football. He is a smart and savvy player who has all the physical tools to succeed at the NFL level. He switched over to cornerback from safety following his Sophomore season and never missed a beat. Excelling at both positions he is a very physical gifted athlete. Williams has great size and outstanding speed. He should be a high draft selection, good chance he may even be the top DB taken but some question whether he will play cornerback or safety in the NFL...more
3 79 Norwood, Jerious RB 6-0 203 Mississippi State
Based on his measurables, he is a good sized back with the explosiveness and top-end speed to make big plays, but he just never seems to actually explode.
5 139 Ojinnaka, Quinn OT 6-5 308 Syracuse
Ojinnaka is a talented athlete who has all the tools to become a good starting offensive tackle in the NFL, but he needs to greatly improve his technique and footwork and must block more aggressively in order to play up to his ability.
6 184 Jennings, Adam WR 5-10 170 Fresno State
Prior to 2005, he was a backup receiver and made his only impact as a returner -- and even in 2005 most of his big plays were on special teams. However, he is a very quick and elusive runner who consistently makes things happen when he gets the ball with some space to work.
7 223 Shockley, D.J. QB 6-1 213 Georgia
Shockley is a very interesting prospect because not much was expected of him entering the only season as a starter, but he grabbed people's attention with his athleticism, ability to throw accurately deep and consistently have a knack for making clutch plays when they mattered most.
