Round 6: OG/C - Zack Williams - WSU


Stumpy

Recommended Posts

6'3" - 309 lbs - 5.12 40yd - 30 reps

The official NFL combine site following Saturday’s session rated Williams a "top performer" in the 20-yard shuttle, 3-cone drill and bench press...

Williams started all 12 games this past season and earned the Mike Utley Award at the postseason banquet, given to the top Cougar o-lineman. A junior college transfer who redshirted his first season at WSU in 2008, Williams started 19 games in his Cougar career, missing four to injury.

Ok here we go:

Notes: Played center at Glendale (Ariz.) Community College from 2006-07. Moved to guard and redshirted with the Cougars in ’08. Played eight games in ’09, starting seven at left guard (non-start came on Senior Night). Sustained a high ankle sprain against Hawaii early in the season and missed four games. Moved to center in ’10 and started all 12 games.

Positives: Outstanding size and girth to anchor and hold the line against big bodies. Flashes some aggression in the run game. Shows pop in his punch. Versatile — has played inside and outside.

Negatives: Top-heavy and tends to bend at the waist and slip off blocks. Appeared very stiff and rigid at the East-West Shrine Game. Struggles to reach the block point on the second level. Needs to improve his functional lower-body strength. Immature early in his career.

Summary: Thick-bodied, long-armed, versatile interior player most ideally suited for a role as a swing backup.

NFL projection: Priority free agent.

    • Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down. 
    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
