CVBL: Draft Round 2
Waste or bonanza? GMs have a wide range of opinions about the draft in
general, and especially the late rounds. "I can't remember anybody I've
picked this late who eventually made the team," said one GM. "I don't even
bother anymore." Atlanta GM Bob couldn't disagree more, and his pick of
Williams during today's round may give his side some more ammunition.
"Williams can make a contribution down the line. That's all I'm looking for
in these late rounds. Not a hall-of-famer, just somebody that can put in
time off the bench or be a role-player."
