# There's a lot of anticipation regarding Southern California wide receiver Mike Williams and his upcoming personal workout. The word out of Williams' camp is that he will run a solid 4.4-4.45 when timed for scouts. If he can back that up, it could move him ahead of Pittsburgh's Larry Fitzgerald on some boards.
# One player whose stock has slipped among some key decision-makers is Texas' Roy Williams. Many teams are looking closely at tests done on his knees and ankles to determine their stability and whether he can remain durable over the long term.
# Archie Manning is playing a big role in influencing where Eli Manning will end up in the first round. The elder Manning doesn't want him landing in San Diego. The Manning camp is pushing hard to influence the Giants to do whatever it takes to move up for Eli and have him in the spotlight of the New York media market.
# A number of teams are scared off by Louisiana State defensive end Marquise Hill due to a bipolar condition. Remember former Michigan State first-round disaster Dimitrius Underwood?
# Some scouts are turned off by Miami safety Sean Taylor, who doesn't seem to be taking the scouting process very seriously, but don't expect it to hurt Taylor much. The people making the draft decisions crave his physical skills.
# Scouts are beginning to realize they initially rated Ohio State cornerback Chris Gamble too high due to all the hype he received for playing both ways in college.
# Virginia Tech cornerback DeAngelo Hall doesn't quite have the speed once projected, but he'll remain the first or second cornerback off the board. It wouldn't be a shock to see Southern California's Dunta Robinson as the top corner off the board. He's the most polished of the cornerbacks.
# There's a possibility that Arkansas offensive tackle Shawn Andrews could drop slightly because he's not as athletic as scouts projected.
