Charlie Campbell... Mykel Williams?

Now, for those who don't know, Charlie from WalterFootball.com basically as a source that's allowed him to basically know who our pick is going to be for the last 4-5 years or so (if I can remember), so I track what he says about us. For the last 2 weeks, it seems he's finally focused on a player for us, and hasn't budged in his last three mock drafts... so... welcome Mykel Williams? Plus, Dan Morgan did say the following...

 

“Yeah, I don’t think we needed the Eagles game to understand that,” Morgan said with smile. “I think, both sides of the ball, you have to win the line of scrimmage. You have to be bigger, you have to be tougher, you have to be more physical—and that’s what we’re looking to do around here.

“We’re looking to build that defensive line like we built the offensive line last season. Give the fans a good product on the field, give us a good product on the field. And we’re excited. We’re excited about the guys in free agency, we’re excited about the guys in the draft, and we think we can fill some of those holes.”

If you're looking at what they can give you out of the gate, I'm really not a Williams fan.  He's got great measurables and I can see being a combine riser, but his work this past season wasn't impressive from what I've seen.  He's good, not elite against the run and has a LONG ways to go as a pass rusher.  You don't draft a 1st with potential and measurables weighted THAT heavily into the pick.

Last few years it seems he at least gets the top 10 spot on.

Trust his mocks close to draft as it does seem like he does have inside info.

The Ickey draft, he got the entire top 10 completely correct, even the order of the Giants two picks. He definitely is the best of the business right now.

He also locked the Panthers to Jaycee Horn 2 weeks before the draft, and most everyone here didn't see that pick coming when his name was called on draft night

Yep, he is zeroing in on Williams or Stewart for us.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
