McShay sees Williams as NFL second rounder with Cobb drafted on Day 3

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said Friday that he still views former Gophers tight end Maxx Williams as a second-round pick with running back David Cobb as a Day Three pick (rounds 4-7). McShay had similar thoughts back in January, but I jumped on his teleconference today to see if his thoughts had changed after the Combine, etc.

On Williams, McShay said: "I've got a really good grade on him in terms of intangibles. Everyone I've talked to around the program -- he knows what it takes to be a pro. Good work ethic, the family, obviously, his dad, his grandfather [were football standouts],and I haven't heard anything negative in that regard.
