Williams is gone by 5.  

 

Given all the talk of his short arms and likely having to move inside, that would be surprising.

Unless Jonah is now a DT the poster meant Q Williams as he specifically mentions DT

I'd be more on board with Williams at 9, but like others, I don't think he falls that far.  If we're high on Metcalf, I would prefer a trade-back.  I just don't see him as I top 10 pick.  Just me, though...

His arms are like 1/8 inch shorter than Dillard and people aren’t questioning him at OT. I mean I just think if a guy can play he can play. 

 

I think Jax is going to take him though

Less concerned about his arm length more concerned about actual NFL Quality DE schooling him in the National Championship Game

OL at 9 wouldn't bother me. Perhaps the quickest path to improving Allen's play and taking advantage of his strengths is to build a strong offensive line.

No, I meant Jonah, but also said I recognized the need for a DT, so my bad - I guess my meaning was a bit unclear.

 

If Quinnen Williams is there at #9, I think we don’t walk to the podium, we run!

Williams schooled Ferrell several times in that game as well. It was a good battle between two NFL 1st rounders

Not gonna lie... I'm kind of warming up to the idea of Metcalf in the 1st, Risner in the 2nd and a Tight End in the 3rd, then go Defense in the middle rounds.

The lack of polish on Metcalf is concerning, but I will say one thing, the idea of Metcalf "Mossing" the league with Allen's arm and Brown keeping things honest on the other side is very intriguing.

OOO Ok tracking read it wrong

Would love for Metcalf to be the pick. We'll see. Ultimately I think it's him, Wilkins, Burns, or Gary.

 

I think the relative lack of smoke around DK given the Bills WR need and Beane's draft tendencies is interesting to me.

I personally think Jonah W is worth the 9th pick and Metcalf is a risk at 9. But there is a ton of smoke on metcalf to Bills. Can’t ignore that. I tried to ignore the smoke on Allen last year but it was all true.

I believe Metcalf is an option based on how Beane handled last year. He swung for the fences twice in the first. He took raw players with huge ceilings and pretty low floors. Metcalf is that player in this draft. I feel like Jonah is the exact opposite. He’s a safe player that will be good but never great.

I think it’s fair to presume that the Bills really like Metcalf. It’s also fair to presume that if a few of these guys were there at 9, he wouldn’t be the pick there because Oliver or Jonah (or others) would be higher on their board overall. But that if they got a great offer to move down, perhaps NYG or Redskins who need a QB, he could be their BPA there, at 15 or 17. I could also see them trading back into the 1st for him. I am starting to believe that they really want him. I’m less convinced he would be their BPA at 9.

I agree.  I think the draft is littered with players that have the same projection that Jonah Williams has.  And these OL can be had in both the 2nd-4th rounds.
