One man's junk is another man's treasure, or something like that. The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to send former 1st round draft pick and current wide receiver bust Troy Williamson to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a 2008 6th round draft pick.
Williamson was drafted #7 overall in the 1st round of the 2005 NFL Draft out of South Carolina, and has contributed little to the organization since then. The alleged big play threat has averaged 19.7 catches and 1 touchdown per year since his arrival in Minnesota, which wasn't quite the impact the Vikings expected him to have when they reached for him in the draft to try to fill the void left by Randy Moss' departure. He will join a Jacksonville roster full of other 1st round offensive busts (Matt Jones, Reggie Williams, Marcedes Lewis), and probably have little to no impact.
