Round 5 (#134) Selection: DT Kyle Williams


SDS

Recommended Posts

He sounds a lot like Mccargo (who sounds a lot like Triplett). A quick penetrating guy who is not a Ted Washington like bulwark against the run.

 

This sounds quite interesting as it begins to look like the Bills are going to be a lot about putting pressure on the QBs in the cover 2 and the LBs are gonna be counted upon to stop the run. It underscores for me the thought that some folks are selling that McCargo and Triplett will never play together because they are the same tech 3 type (this mostly appears to be us amateurs using phrases to make it sound like we know what the heck is going on here, it is for me).

 

All the DTs on the Bills roster appear to be quick penetrators with all of them weighing in at around 300lbs rather than the 340+ of a ngata.

 

I think this team will put the two best DTs on the field and all these fan assumptions about whether an athlete plays a 1 gap, 2 gap, or tech 3 technique is little more than an assumption when none of us even knows in fact what the Bills D scheme is going to be except that we will do cover 2 rather than zone-blitz.

With all due respect. Lineart is not a good fit for the weather at the Ralph.

but maybe we can let Clements walk now and spend that tender money... The one year tender is a pretty hefty warchest.

 

Maybe the plan was to see if we can cover his loss through the draft *before* we decide to let him go?

Kyle Williams/DT/LSU

 

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 299

40 Time: 5.18

Vertical Jump: 27.5"

Bench Press: 32 reps

DOB: 3/19/1984

Interested Teams: Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, St. Louis Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, Washington Redskins

Projected Round: 4th-5th

 

Strengths: There are few players that play with the intensity or consistency of Williams. He is also one of the more technically sound players at his position this year. His work ethic and strong leadership skills will attract many teams come draft day. He will fight until the whistle blows on every play, even if he is beaten initially. His lateral movement along the line is above average. That coupled with his relentless pursuit makes him a good run defender. His pass rush skills are solid as well and they make up for his lack of sudden burst off the snap.

 

Weaknesses: Athletically Williams is just average. He?s not very quick or strong for the position and that will end up catching up with him in time. His lack of ideal height and strength will limit what systems he can play in. He may have trouble doing some of the things he did at the college level due to his athletic limitations.

 

Overall: Williams is the classic overachiever at the tackle position. He is the type of player that wasn?t blessed with the freakish skills for his position, but he works harder than anyone else to make himself as good as he can be. He will likely never be a star, nor is his upside high, but you know what you?re getting with Williams. He is just a solid and consistent player that can be relied upon to do his job. He won?t complain and he will get those around him to play harder. He is the type of player that is hard for a coach not to like. He will likely be limited to playing the three-technique tackle position as a pro, but could probably play the nose in a pinch, but that?s not an ideal position for him. Kyle Williams is a player that will never get a lot of attention (including on draft day), but he will be a solid contributor from day one in the NFL. He should hear his name called somewhere toward the end of the first day of the draft.

 

Reminds you of: Chris Hovan, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

So tough that he even played against Georgia in 2004 despite suffering a compound fracture on hand in pregame warm-ups ...

How does one play football with a bone sticking out of their hand?

This according to Fox Sports...............

 

READY TO PLAY

Kyle Williams, DT, Buffalo Bills. Marv Levy is taking a lot of heat for this draft, but he found a fine player with the 134th selection. Williams is a high-energy defender who will fit in immediately as a rotation tackle. First-round pick John McCargo is a scout's dream who doesn't play to his potential. Williams is a coach's dream who hustles and makes a lot of plays but doesn't pass the tape measure tests. Don't be surprised if Williams is more productive this year.

Somehow, this doesn't thrill.

Compound fracture doesn't necessarily mean that it pokes out of the skin.  It basically means that it was a complex breakage rather than a single break point.

You're right that it doesn't mean that the bone was sticking out of the skin but it does mean that the skin was broken. The fracture you're talking about it called a Comminuted Fracture.

I have a feeling Williams is gonna be a fan favorite. The kid reminds me of Chris Speilman. I love the description of Williams play as a "a rolling ball of butcher blades". I foresee myself getting a Kyle Williams jersey
