I still think we take Jalon Walker at #8. Walker is a consensus top #10 pick (top 5 by some). Williams certainly has the tools with his athleticism but his development and learning curve will take more time.  

Won’t hate it but I just don’t see us taking Williams that high unless someone leapfrogs us for Walker or Carter somehow falls to us.

Look... I think we all just need to come to terms with the fact we are taking Mykel Williams. There have been multiple insiders that say he is the guy. Same thing happened last year with Legette and the year before with Bryce. This team is anything but unpredictable when it comes to the draft.

Come to terms...

Nope, get pumped. I am officially on the Mykel bandwagon. I feel he is going to be a monster in the NFL.  His 2023 tape is great, I do by the talk of injuries hampering his 24 stats. Also, Georgia is a bit of a silly situation with so much talent all across that defense they can get cute and play guys all over the place.  Players are not dialed in at one specific role 100% of the time. 

Mykel or Jalon are my 1a and 1b picks on Def.

If Walker is there, they take Walker. If not the take Williams.

There is a lot to like. He is only 20. He is already strong as an ox. He is a silky mover, especially at his size. My only concerns are his ability to become a 10+ sack guy a year. If you are an edge taken in the top 10, that's the hope.

He isn't a hair on fire type of player like Walker. That is what makes Walker jump off the tape. But Williams has very disciplined eyes and rarely takes unnecessary steps/movements. He's more calculated.

This has been my gut since the initial reports back in Jan/Feb about him.

I’ve warmed up to Williams (Stewart less so) through the process. He’s not going to be the most athletic but could become a top 1B type which is still a big add. His limited burst and athleticism caps his upside but he’s still a very solid prospect worth it in this class (relative)

I don't think so anymore. I did at one point, but I think they have liked Williams more all along.

When Kay Adams asked Canales about Walker he lit up and said all UGA players have great things to say about him.  Makes me think they are asking other UGA players about Walker in their visits

I don't doubt that he really likes him, but the question is whether they want him more than Williams. 

I think a lot hinges on Walkers workout on the 17th, as ridiculous as it sounds. If his workout is pedestrian, he is dropping out of the top 10. If he lights it up, he could go top 5. Because his size isn't ideal, teams will likely want to see that his athleticism makes up for it.

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By strato · Posted

      I hear you but yeah like you say, above average. His numbers were good. You’d think it would be a no brainer. Anyhow… I guess the new staff is also fine with him walking?    I hope if we sign him there isn’t some secret issue of his that led to him not being valued.
