Aussie Joe Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 42 minutes ago, Logic said: According to this tweet, it sounds like a lot of executives don't believe Williams is a lock to go in the top 10. He's thought of as anywhere from a mid-1st to 2nd round pick. The question for Bills fans, if its true that his best fit may be as a guard (a la Zack Martin for the Cowboys)...do Bills fans still want him in the 1st? It's an ideological question, really: are you still okay with drafting an offensive lineman early if it's an INTERIOR offensive lineman? For me, I would be okay with it IF the Bills could trade down first. I don't love the idea of taking a guard at 9. If they could get into the 16-20 range and still grab him? Then I'm all for it. Fortify the line at all costs, even if it means selecting an interior lineman early. I wouldn't pick Jonah Williams at 9 and I'm starting to think that he wont be the first OL off the board... In regards to the trade down scenario., its feasible but you really need to see who is still there at 9.. Im hoping that some of the QB's get drafted before the Bills pick and a quality Edge rusher might still be there... I think there will be good interior OL available into the 2nd and 3rd rounds..

Daniel Jeremiah said there is no marshon lattimore or Denzel ward CB in this draft, meaning he didn’t see Greedy as worthy of that “elite” label/high of a pick. Trading up from 9 wouldn’t make sense. And DJ is a very reliable draft analyst with years of nfl scouting background.

I remember one play he got bull rushed and knocked on his ass, couldnt have been a good look Ferrell whooped him all night. Say, how's about we draft the guy doing the whooping? 4

From December: http://walterfootball.com/nflhotpress/article/Teams-Project-Jonah-Williams-in-Mid--to-Late-Round-1 Ive felt this way for a while now. He'd be a huge reach and the amount of talent you'd pass on in terms of defensive linemen would makes this pick even more ludicrous. Never draft non elite linemen in the top ten. Never! 2
YoloinOhio Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I assume Daboll is familiar enough with him to know if he’s worth picking him that high. 3
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 A couple things 1) o linemen is such a buzzkill first round pick. I mean it has to be built but man, talk about a ***** killer 2). I think a lot people have a fallacy about o line being safer than other positions. They bust a lot more than people think. 3) it’s so hard to evaluate Bama players because they are surrounded by blue chippers. 2

One thing I have mentioned, and I think I did in this thread somewhere, is that I think Williams could be a really good center. He's got great technique etc, but is bad against speed rushes and gets overpowered at times. This really isn't as much of a problem inside. He is also very smart and has great intangibles. I think he's a center. I'd be willing to draft him in a trade down and I would make him my center. Edited January 17, 2019 by MrEpsYtown 1

The Senator Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Jonah Williams has long been my choice. Forget what WalterFootball says - they are idiots. Williams has previously been projected as a top 5 pick, and I just hope he’s available at #9. JMO .
billspro Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I’m not sold on him as a LT. I think he is a good player but will probably end up as a G or RT. 37 minutes ago, DCOrange said: Yeah, I would defer to him on that. Likewise with the Alabama RBs. Ya Foster and Wallace turned out well. He knows Williams well, if they draft him I would be fine with it. I would also be fine with us passing on him for the same reason.

njbuff Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Watching college, if you wanna go OL, Ja’waan Taylor looks like the much superior athlete and player to Williams. What this means on draft day, anyone knows.
