2015 Top 5 Tackles based on Win/Neutral %

1) Andrus Peat

2) Daryl Williams <--------------

3) Jake Fisher

4) Cedric Ogbuehi

5) Ereck Flowers

methodology:

"This website is devoted to charting NFL Draft offensive lineman prospects collegiate games...looking at whether they win or if they lose the snap. There is no emphasis on how they get the job done, as long as they do get it done. A player could have terrible form but seal the block, and that will count as a win. Likewise, a player could have perfect form and allow a sack, qualifying as a loss. A play will be counted as neutral if the player’s block had no impact on the outcome of the play i.e. quick screen."

Scout.com:

"After first appearing in nine games as a reserve tackle during his true freshman season in 2011, Williams started the first ten games on the 2012 schedule before missing three contests with a knee injury. He lined up at right tackle for the first 12 games on the 2013 schedule before moving to left tackle for the Sugar Bowl clash vs. Alabama. He earned second-team All-Big Twelve Conference honors after posting 60 knockdowns and nine touchdown-resulting blocks as a junior. In 2014, Williams remained at right tackle all season, as the All-Big Twelve first-team choice and squad captain collected 91 knockdowns and led the way on 11 touchdown-resulting runs."

NFL.com:

"An NFC scout said Oklahoma right tackle Daryl Williams reminds him of former Sooner and Minnesota Vikings 2009 second-round pick (#54 overall) Phil Loadholt. "(Williams) is more agile and lighter on his feet, but his punch and force is similar to (Loadholt's)," the scout said.

The comparison fits. Williams can be a dominant run blocker and has really stepped up as a leader for the Oklahoma offensive line"

On January 14, 2014, ProFootballFocus.com recognized Loadholt as one of their highest-rated offensive tackles in the NFL, stating, "Stud: Right tackle Phil Loadholt (+25.0) earned All-Pro honors in our eyes. He didn’t get the press he garnered last year as the team struggled but he remains the prototypical right tackle."

Both wore #79 at Oklahoma. The top picture (with Sam Bradford in the background) is Phil Loadholt. The bottom picture is Daryl Williams....

2015 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:

DARYL WILLIAMS, OT, OKLAHOMA

At 6-5-327, Williams obviously has NFL size, and he was able to use

it at the collegiate level to drive defenders of the line of scrimmage.

There were no real questions about his strength coming out of

college. However, some have questioned Williams' athleticism and

posited that he might end up at guard. But Williams somewhat

silenced those questions with an impressive performance at the

combine including an an impressive 1.75 10-yard split. If a team

thinks Williams has the athleticism to go with his size, he could

potentially be a late first round pick. For now the safer money is

probably on a second round selection.

Draft Prediction: Second Round

The top two pics are Loadholt (who went 2nd R/#54 overall)

The bottom pic is Williams....

An OT as big/powerful as Daryl Williams shouldn't be able to

run 1.75 10-yard split. I'd be fine w/ him in Round 1. Panthers

at 25 logical.

Dave Gettleman about Ja'wuan James (has to be him). Hope

he feels the same about Daryl Williams

Daryl Williams , OT, Oklahoma: 6'5'', 327 pounds, 35" arms, and

9 3/4" hands. Stud football player. Checking boxes so far.

#OU OT Daryl Williams might be the most underrated OL in the

draft. Plug him in at Right Tackle and let him roadgrade.

Walter Football's Charlie Campbell notes on the Oklahoma offensive tackle duo of Tyrus Thompson and Daryl Williams going against the Clemson DL:

"Williams played better than Thompson...This duo is reminiscent of the Tennessee tandem of Antonio Richardson and Ja'Wuan James last year. Richardson got more publicity, but NFL teams felt James was the better prospect and selected him in the first round while Richardson fell undrafted because of a micro-fracture knee injury. I'm not saying that Thompson will go undrafted, but don't be surprised if Williams is selected first and is the better pro."

Edraft.com scouting report:

"Williams has potential to be a solid starting right or left tackle in the league... It’s not natural for guys with Williams’ size to be good athletes that can win in space. Normally a 6’6”, 330-pound frame will really inhibit an athlete’s ability to move and neutralize anything but power rushers, but Williams has good overall fluidity in his movements... moves rather well...can get to the second level well...excellent anchor ability... above average technician...neutralizes edge defenders well...a good pass blocker... Really moves defenders off the ball as a run defender...great length... a smart player...clearly an on-field leader for the team...most impressive part of Williams’ game is his ability to punch a pass rusher off their initial move and set his anchor to prevent a counter move"

Daryl Williams has been absolutely dominant so far this season

for #Sooners , on pace for best season for an OL since Trent

Williams in 2009.

Editor of SoonerScoop.com Josh McCuistion @JLMcCuistion Feb 20

Follow a lot of good draft guys on Twitter but a bit surprised

about the lack of attention/respect for Daryl Williams . High

end potential.

here's a spreadsheet comparing more of them

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fFPR3VDrC_F0V7nupkpCiOj8HstR2D40fen625a_ehI/edit?usp=sharing&pli=1

note that all 5 of them did better than Luke Joeckel and Taylor Lewan (Peat also did better than Greg Robinson and Zach Martin). Also note that nobody did better on pass plays than Daryl Williams (95.54%), except one: Jake Matthews.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
