3rdand12 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 They were getting low on Williams and he was BWA !! Jonathan Williams | RB, ArkansasHeight: 5-11 Weight: 220 Another RB to add to the stable in Buffalo, Williams has some durability concerns, but is a second-round talent if not for his recent injury. B- 2nd round, I like taking these risks this late in the draft. Damn Whaley ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I know Dragon, but the opposite point of view is once you get past the 3rd or 4th, your just looking for a steal talent and can't consider need, meaning if you do that you could just get a guy. Get talent and it will work out in time. What if he is great in ST? What if this is insurance against Karlos who I love against concussions? I think that is overstated but we are not team doctors. What if this is a flier to use Shady for one more year and cut his big contract, as this guy turns out to be a stud? I agree I am not a fan of a RB, b/c we seem so deep at the position, but we don't have all of the information. He does look like a very solid RB. WE're never going to fill all of our needs so I don't want a WR, RT, Ssimply because we could use them but b/c we reached, now we cut him in training camp. Get the best guy at any position in the 5th and two 6 th picks. They will be lucky to make the team so find any stud left. Same with UDFA next week. There will be a couple guys not drafted who will start in the NFL for some reason. These decisions really reveal what a good scouting staff you have in the Bills.

Your opinion is perfectly valid. I guess mine is not. A WR or safety is just as likely or more likely to play ST's especially since the best ST player they had will likely not play again after his knee injury.

Spun Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 It seems like teams backed off of this guy because of his foot injury. I remember teams backing off of Thurman Thomas because of his knee injury. I am not saying Wiliams will be as good as Thurman. However, running backs don't have long careers. The Draft is always a gamble fest. 2nd team preseason All SEC? On a Bills team that needs to run the ball especially in December and especially on a team with a shaky QB situation? I like the gamble!

CommonCents Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 No idea. Does he need to haha! anyone watch this kid from Arkansas ? Yeah if a running back with that vision comes with hands he can do some things! Rawls had highest YPC amongst backs with any serious numbers of carries. I think he was over 5.5.

This guy looks like he wear some team down. Nice change of pace runs well between the tackles. see what happens at the NFL level though. I can root for him though.
