He was great in that game v another Top 15 guy. Watch again. I watched the entire game. I wasn't impressed. But then again the entire Bama line got beat.

Re-watch the Jonah Williams tape. He did pretty well. 1 game doesn't equate to three full years of starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Williams looks like Travis Kelce to me - a C that'll anchor a line for a decade plus. Taylor to me looks like a good, possibly great tackle but an elite guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you take the more versatile player? Jonah could play RT, LT or move to the guard position. We could have the left side of our line fixed with Jonah at LG with Dion at LT, with a FA Center. Jawaan is the higher rated tackle, we could take him and move Dion to LG. Personally, I would take Jonah and have a lot more versatility in case of injury. Thoughts please?

It's not just tackle and guard for Jonah; some scouts believe he's best suited to play Center and I read somewhere that Alabama viewed him as a Center when they got him, but felt that putting him in as a tackle was the best way to utilize all of the talent that they had. Neither of these guys are my preferred options at #9, but if forced to choose, I think I'd lean towards Williams due to the versatility.

947 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 It boggles my mind that people are picking Jonah Williams. Short-armed unathletic college LTs become average OGs in the NFL. Even Robert Gallery, who was a better college LT than Williams had to move to Guard. Taylor & Dillard will be very good OTs. Taylor is better as of now, but I actually think Dillard has the best chance to be a really good LT. I'd actually rather have Risner than Williams, he's RT only but will be a stud there.

Either way you go can be a win though because Dion has always been talked as a versatile player who can play most any where on the line & he even started out at RT, so if you pick Taylor move Dion to RT & your T situation is solved . But because McD likes versatility in his players & they have Williams higher on their board & choose him they could do the same with Dion or leave Dion where he is & use Williams at RT & keep Teller in the mix then you only need one guard . Or if they do bring in the guy from Carolina Daryl Williams at LT move Dion to RT draft J. Williams & put him at LG & Teller at RG O line solved . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34-78-83 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 At pick #9 I'd rather not draft a potential Right Tackle OR a potential Guard. It seems like the 15-20 range might be a better spot for guys like this to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonah Williams is a Guard at the NFL level, I don't think there's any way he could play LT in the NFL. That is how I see it. We would be lucky to have Taylor fall to 9.

Aussie Joe Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Anyone still got any wood for Jonah? Starting to feel he might have jumped the shark for the Bills as a prospect at 9 I know he has that prior connection with Daboll but Im thinking they go in another direction...

I never loved Jonah at 9. In theory though, you could take the Zach Martin approach and plug Williams into the RG spot. You likely have a really good player for a long time there. I still think they go best defensively player available, with an outside shot at Hock or Metcalf. Money's on defensive line though...Gary, Oliver, Sweat, Burns, Wilkins...or one of the guys like Williams or Allen who possibly drop a bit.

CSBill Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 This is a great question. Until Free Agency, I was adamant that we had to take a top o-lineman, but I'm not there now. With all the additions, I'm good. None of these guys are sure things, and there is depth in this draft. I think they go in other directions now, and if one of the better guys (guard or tackle) is still there in the 2nd, then go for it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Taylor gets to #9 either. Think the Jags are zeroing in on him and surprised if he lasts past #7. That said I am not sure I'd pick him at #9 anyway.... because to me he is RT only and I don't see the LT upside. That makes me nervous about spending a top 10 pick. He is certainly someone who can come in and contribute early though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
