Comments: Troy Williamson will be a good receiver in the league, but he's no Randy Moss, which is how the Vikings got this pick. This is why this pick was bad for the Vikings. Basically, you've swapped Randy Moss for Troy Williamson. Very few first round wide receivers do well in the first year and that will the case here.
