Daniel Jeremiah - Jonah Williams is someone to watch

[Ittakestime]

Not sure how many people listen to Daniel Jeremiah's podcast, but he dropped the nugget about the Bills "I have heard from a ton of different people, Jonah Williams is someone to watch there."

 

Just thought I would let people know.

 

Here is his last mock of 2018:

Had the Bills trading up for Josh Allen

[MrEpsYtown]

I really don't like him at 9, however, if Daboll thinks he is the guy, having coached him and seen him first hand, I can't argue with it. If you take him, I think you make the Zach Martin move and plug him at right guard. He's likely an all pro quickly there. I think Williams is the level of guard prospect, but I just don't like it at 9.  

[Aussie Joe]

If this happens I wont hate this, but I would prefer a few other guys now at 9..

 

At least Daboll knows him pretty well so you would think he would have to have a lot of confidence in the pick... 

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

Dawkins - Spain/Feliciano - Morse - Williams - Nsekhe (possible flip flop the Tackles) with Long backup C/G, Waddle backup T, Feliciano/Spain backup G

 

Waddle also may not be active on game days as Williams kicks out to tackle if either of those guys goes down.  

 

Night and Day vs. what we rolled out there a year ago.

 

 

[HansLanda]

Not sure about him at 9 if he projects as a guard. Too rich. For me the only linemen you spend a top 10 pick on is a legit LT - can maybe be talked into a RT, 

[CaptnCoke11]

Yeah i can’t see it.  I’m convinced it’s DL or Hock

[WMDman]

I’m okay with it as long as Ed Oliver is off the board

[Logic]

We may all have guys that we prefer, but I don't see how anyone could be mad at drafting arguably the best tackle in all of college football. 

His ceiling is "outstanding offensive tackle" and his floor is "Pro Bowl level guard". 

We could do a lot worse.

[TOboy]

If we move back to the teens I’d be fine with it, but not at 9, not after we’ve already done a ton to improve the line, and certainly not if a game changing prospect is on the board (Oliver/Hock).

I keep seeing people say this.

 

There are two options for Dawkins: Left Tackle, or Left Guard.  He absolutely cannot play on the right side.

In my opinion, many of the moves on the line this offseason are temporary. We do need to draft along both lines and Williams has been a monster versus top level talent in the SEC.

Jonah Williams is the guy I’ve been wanting all along, but with all the free agent signings and the depth of this draft at OT, I’m beginning to think Christian Wilkins at #9.

He has spent a little over 1 1/2 of 2 yrs. At Lt..and he has shown there's no way he can play the rt?  Did he actually play there in reg games?

[John from Riverside]

WOnt hate it....but I hope it means that they think he can be a ORT

[OldTimer1960]

I’d have to trust that they know what they are doing.  Sure, he is a good prospect, but it doesn’t seem like he is a great prospect.  The line would project as a good C, an old career backup T and 3 guys who should be G.

 

I should say that in general I am OK with taking a good solid prospect at 9 - doesn’t have to be a swing for the fences guy to make me happy, but I think there have to be equivalent or better prospects available at more important positions than G.

 

I get that he might be capable of playing T, but do you really need two guys (Dawkins and Williams) that likely should be Gs playing OT?

If the Clemson game is any indication,  please no.  But you can't argue with an oline/dline pick.

Bleh... He's barely makes my top 5 Tackles for this draft... barely. I really hope we don't grab him at 9

[NewEraBills]

As an interior lineman I can dig it completely.  The Colts entire offense shifted due to Quenton Nelson.  But if you want a tackle, why not take Dillard instead?

He couldn't unseat Mills at RT, and we were all expecting that, and I remember him not being very good at RT because he was more awkward on that side.  Maybe I'm blending him at Kuandjio together, though.  Maybe Dawkins isn't horrendous on the right side, but he's better on the left.

jonah or sweat at 9 I would strongly dislike!  We could be leaving Oliver, DK, White, Hock on board- all 4 could be perennial all pro's IMO
