I wasn't gonna make a new thread for it, but since you brought it up, thought I'd put it here.

From PFT:

VIKES TO TAKE TROY AT SEVEN?

We're hearing from one of our moles in Minny that if the Vikes stay put at No. 7 they plan to select South Carolina receiver Troy Williamson, who quietly has been creeping up the draft board.

In fact, some think the Vikes will take Willamson even if Mike Williams is still available.

And if we were calling the shots in Minny (folks in purple all over the world should rejoice that we're not) we'd also consider taking Arkansas receiver Matt Jones at No. 18, even if Willamson is taken at No. 7. Between the two of them, one will likely become a star. If both develop into quality players, the name "Randy Moss" quickly might fade from the memory of Minnesotans sooner than anyone would have anticipated.

Such a dynamic would be far more likely if the Vikes take Jones, and if he is able to fulfill the potential of his 78-inch, 240-pound, 4.37-running frame.

Then there's that unspoken Jones' "X" factor.

He's white.

Sure, everyone gets nervous when anyone talks about matters of race, but with the NFL ever fearful that the "thug" element in the league will alienate mainstream fans, Jones has the potential to be the antithesis of guys like Moss, T.O., and every other badly-behaving black player.

We're not saying that all black players behave badly. But the reality is that a lot of the guys who get in trouble also happen to be African-American. And that kind of stuff, the league surely fears, eventually will push the average white fan back to (snore) baseball, especially if/when that sport finds a way to generate offense without simultaneously produced large-headed, small-'nadded freaks.

Then again, character is one of the concerns about Jones. Some say he's lazy, and that he's not willing to put the time and effort into being the ultimate player he can be.

So the ultimate irony here would be for this potential Larry Bird of the NFL to end up being just another Ron Artest.

Still, we thinks it's well worth the risk for the Vikings. The upside is huge -- and the downside is relatively minimal. And with season-ticket renewals at only 90 percent, the Vikes could use every ounce of intrique and excitement that a player like Jones will bring to the table.
