Nitro Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Jonah Williams if they stand pat. I would like to see them drop back a get picks.
Lurker Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 While I initially said Oliver earlier in this thread...after some more thought, I'm amending that to Wilkins if they stay at #9. His profile reads like a Kyle Williams clone: STRENGTHS: Initial quickness to live in the opponent’s backfield…flexible hips and joints, contorting his good-sized frame and staying balanced through gaps…fluid redirection in pursuit with the chase speed to track down ballcarriers…plays underneath blocks and keeps his lower body working to grind out movement…gap quickness helps clog things up in the run game…recognition skills reflect his experience…well-versed on special teams coverages…scored three touchdowns (two rushing, one receiving) on offense…two-time team captain with the type of work ethic and intangibles that are “up there with Deshaun (Watson) since we’ve been here,” according to a Clemson assistant coach…graduated with a degree in communications (December 2017), becoming the first scholarship player in school history to graduate in two-and-a-half years…his 59 career games played is tied for the most in school history. WEAKNESSES: Lacks ideal length and point-of-attack power…inconsistent shed technique and timing…can be bullied in the run game…inconsistent base strength and can be displaced by blockers, especially when his pads rise…doesn’t always replace his hands on his get-off, stalling his pass rush…always looking for an edge, but developed a reputation for being a borderline dirty player due to questionable hits…older prospect and will turn 24 during his NFL rookie season. SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Clemson, Wilkins worked his way into the defensive line rotation as a true freshman and was a key reason behind the Tigers’ two national titles the last three seasons. Lining up primarily over the B-gap, he became the school’s fifth unanimous All-American (2018) and the first Clemson player to win the William V. Campbell Trophy, also known as the Academic Heisman. Moving differently than most his size, Wilkins uses his loose lower body, contact balance and active hands in conjunction to squirt through gaps. His high-character intangibles will be a strong selling point for an NFL team looking for a high-floor prospect.Overall, Wilkins is an inconsistent run defender, but his quickness, body flexibility and ball awareness lead to backfield production, projecting as a penetrating three-technique in a four-man base.
BuffaLoko Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 One more Williams coming to the family...welcome Jonah!!

If he is there...Or TJ Hockenson if he is there. What will actually happen is I think Beane will work his magic for a pass rusher (maybe Allen, Sweat?)and trade for Gerald McCoy Edited April 25, 2019 by Nihilarian
BmarvB Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 I think Oliver is going to drop right into the Bills lap

He was rated a top 3 dt as a run defender and pass rusher. "Wilkins was a brick wall against the run, recording a 93.6 run-defense grade. Among the top interior defensive linemen in the class, no one recorded a lower average depth of tackle against the run than Wilkins at 0.1 yards."
Buddy Hix Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 I think Wilkins will be our guy. He’s at the bottom of my list with Gary of guys who are in the range the Bills are in, but I wanted the other Josh, so wtf do I know?
