His ceiling is "outstanding offensive tackle" and his floor is "Pro Bowl level guard". We could do a lot worse. but the championship game...sarcasm on my part but some did claim here that his value decreased due to the championship game?
Max Fischer Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 If his floor is perrenial all-pro right guard, what’s not to love?
gjv001 Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 The balance of the off-season, that includes the draft, has to focus on the Bills being able to stop the run. We play against the majority of the premier RB's this year. Stopping the run will go a long way to making 2019 successful.
Chuck Wagon Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Williams was on the DJ's "Moving the sticks" podcast, it sounded like he wouldn't even entertain the idea of moving away from LT.

The only way he makes sense at 9 is if they see him as a future LT, so maybe there's something to that
Tommy Callahan Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Meh. Coaches and front office want things they cannot coach. Like speed, size....... They are confident they can coach the skills. Dont see them taking a technician.... More like Oliver, Metcalf or Taylor... Edited April 9, 2019 by Chris farley 2
BuffaloRebound Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 He kind of looked like an Average Joe in size/physique compared to the other O Linemen at the combine. I don’t expect him to be ripped but I did expect him to be bigger. Doesn’t mean he can’t be good, but he doesn’t really pass the eye test from a standpoint of a guy who looks like he’s gonna dominate NFL D Linemen. But maybe he’s a reverse ‘Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane”

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. Clean slate with Juan gone. Would be nice to hear Dion say he can and will play anywhere.

BuffaloRebound Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 9 minutes ago, whorlnut said: Yeah...Quentin Nelson was a huge reach... Not seeing how Williams is gonna be some dominant guard at 6’4” 301 pounds. Nelson was 325 at the combine and put up 35 bench reps compared to Williams’ 23. If he can’t play LT, not sure he projects anywhere else at that size. 2

Just thought I would let people know.

GETTOTHE50 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 plz get Hock. I want this offense improved as much as possible. I cant stand to watch a ***** offense anymore
JoPar_v2 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Personally after the initial free agent rush, I don't like it so much anymore, I'd rather go DT, WR, or TE first. Or trade down and get a OT later in the 1st. But if Jonah is the pick I won't be mad.

Prickly Pete Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) I don't believe that they would sign all these Free Agent O-linemen and then still use the 9th pick on a Guard. The question isn't really "How good is this guy?" it's "How much better is he than the guy we have, and how much more of a difference can he make?" I don't think he can make more of a difference than a top prospect D-lineman could for this team. The Bills need help there, and it's the obvious strength of the draft, it seems the most likely, by far. Edited April 10, 2019 by OJ Tom 1
