Mike Williams


Recommended Posts

I don't have a 1st round grade on him. I'm suffering from LaQuon Treadwell hangover syndrome.

Haha yeah maybe you're right. WR's can be almost as tough as qb's to predict in the draft but I have a feeling Davis is going to light it up no matter where he goes.

Davis is the clear #1 for me. Williams is still #2 with a high 2nd grade but I'm a little worried about his vertical game not working against NFL-level CB's. At Clemson, he could stack them nicely and create that half-step for himself. Against stronger players, or guys with better recovery speed, does he replicate?

 

At the very least, he's a great slant/comeback type of WR and a high level possession receiver. Not a knock on him that he's not a 1st rounder for me, still appreciate his game.

Yes, it seems scouting community is split on Davis vs Williams. I favor Mike but won't cry if the Bills get Davis.

Come on Blokes push Dupre up your board! Still like what you see in him?

 

The more I watched, the lower the grade got. I'll cut him some slack because of that god-awful passing attack but I think he ended up being a 4th rounder.

The second I started making comparisons between Corey and TO, I couldn't do anything but call him WR1. The scary thing is, I think Corey can get better. Clean up those idiotic drops etc.

Bad bad comparison.

He reminds me of Landry but faster.

We did that already with Sammy Watkins. No good franchise spends multiple top 10 picks on a dependent position like receiver. It's simply not smart.

 

I think Tyrod definitely needs another weapon not to be able to get the ball to.

Typically I would agree with your thoughts. Part of our issue over the years has been the constant drafting of the same positions over and over. You can't build a quality franchise by using first round picks in the same spot in years close together. This may be different thought. We have absolutely no depth at the WR position. We definitely need a number two receiver at the least.

 

The other problem is that Sammy hasn't been able to stay on the field. We have no idea how often he is going to be on the field in the future. There is no telling that his injury issues won't be career altering. I don't think it is unreasonable to draft a first round WR to have insurance for life without Sammy. Ultimately we need to draft a WR this year regardless. I wouldn't have a problem with it being in the first round.

Right now most mocks by folks who tend to get it right say Williams will go anywhere from #5 to #13 and some have our Bills taking him

Davis on the other hand seems to be going anywhere from #12 to early 2nd round

And just everybody has Williams being the first WR picked

And some don't even have Davis going next cos Macafrrey is a unique dual RB-WR thread

Its so far from the draft, this is all bound to change multiple times between now and end of April

I disagree, you don't draft anyone, especially in the first round, on the basis of need for the the current season, or who will be the 2017 QB

You draft a player with the hope that he will have an overall impact over the next 5 years

Besides, a 1st round WR that make plays is always a big need
