Carolina Panthers Trade Up Select Oklahoma's Daryl Williams

[mbarbour21]

Great move! Need a RB now tho.

[Fidel Cashflow]

We got the rootinest, tootinest, shootinest GM in the league!

 

Absolutely. And the national media gives him no respect or recognition.

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....

Gettleman is so confident in his picks. And his past two drafts back it up.

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

The bottom pic is Williams....

[Dubcat5]

Is he projected to be able to play LT or only RT?

[UpstatePanther]

We've picked a LB/S, a WR/TE and an OG/OT according to some outlets

 

dat versatility. Nippleshorts/Riverboat love it.

 

Love this. Played out exactly how I wanted, trade/player/everything.  He can start at RT now, let Remmers and Oher hopefully handle LT. Williams and Trai on the right side? Hello running lanes. 

 

Now for Greene/Hardy/Crowder to fall to one of our 5th round comps...

 

Hardy n' Crowder? dey gone. 

 

For me, this is the favorite pick of the draft so far. I have coveted this guy for the panthers and now we have him! We just opened a highway on the right side of the line for our backs. This helps Cam so much too. What a wonderful day.

 

in the words of Nux from Mad Max: "WHAT A LOVELY DAY!"

 

Gettleman believes in quality over QUANTITY? in this years draft.

 

FIFY?

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."

Are there charts for this exact thing from past drafts?

[Fidel Cashflow]

We're going to load up on undrafted free agents this year.

Only 5 draft choices so we're going to have 14 rosters spots available.

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."

Quality over quantity on the picks, sure.

 

 

But this team wasn't carrying 9 rookies. Or 8. or 7. Or maybe even 6.  Our 53 man will be tight this year, unless there are some vet shakeups 

[Montsta]

Wow Huddle implosion incoming?

[CarolinaNCSU]

 

Hardy n' Crowder? dey gone. 

 

 

 

Well, now, yes. 30 minutes ago when posted? No.
