Dopey Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Jonah can play guard or tackle where Jawaan is seen as strictly a tackle. We already have our left tackle in Dion. So do you take the more versatile player? Jonah could play RT, LT or move to the guard position. We could have the left side of our line fixed with Jonah at LG with Dion at LT, with a FA Center. Jawaan is the higher rated tackle, we could take him and move Dion to LG. Personally, I would take Jonah and have a lot more versatility in case of injury. Thoughts please?

I've seen projections that say Taylor can play guard.
FeelingOnYouboty Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Give me Jonah Williams and sign Daryl Williams
TigerJ Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 There are those who think Jonah Williams will struggle at the pro level playing tackle because of his moderately short arms. He didn't test awful at the combine, but he didn't stand out either. His strongest positive is that he's technically proficient, but he appears not to be a great athlete. My expectation is that he will be decent as a pro, in either the tackle or guard spot, but he'll never wow you with his play. I think Jawaan Taylor has more athletic tools, and I wouldn't discount his ability to move inside and play guard. 2 1
Augie Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Instead of pretending I’m qualified to make the call, I’ll just pray the FO gets it right! Having said that, I doubt it’s either at #9.

buffalostu2 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 What about the story that Jonah refused to switch positions in college and only sees himself as a left tackle?
K-9 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 If I only had a choice between the two, it would be Taylor. He’s a much more fluid athlete. 4

Augie Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Just now, Dopey said: would you put Jonah at G? After taking him at #9? Is he Quinten Nelson? Or, MAYBE, is a DL option the better choice? Who wouldn’t love TWO Josh Allens on the team? (I know that’s like winning the lottery, but it would be great fun!)

Turk71 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Christian Wilkins? Ed Oliver? If I had to pick one of those 2 OTs it would be Taylor. 4

I’m glad we pay people for this stuff, because most of us would be fired pretty quickly. At least they get a few years! 1 minute ago, Turk71 said: Christian Wilkins? Ed Oliver?

947 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Taylor & it's not close. Taylor is a very good RT from Day 1, with the feet & ability to eventually play LT. Jonah Williams is a Guard at the NFL level, I don't think there's any way he could play LT in the NFL. 3
