[Biggems]

I am shocked. We actually drafted a Longhorn......all the ones in the past we could have had......I am happy

I love this pick, I want him to be the LG next to Smith and Frederick.

Not necessarily

Stephen hawking checked the math from the afterlife and you are correct

But the most important thing about this is that one of the biggest problems facing Dallas for 2018 has now been fixed. While there was a lot of focus on players like Will Hernandez and James Daniels to solve the problem, Williams is right there with them, and was projected by many to have gone long before 50. This also makes the first-round pick of Leighton Vander Esch look better, because they got their new stud linebacker and did not miss out on an O lineman they coveted.

Safest 2nd rd pick by the Cowboys in a few years.

The irony of this pick in the second round

 

[CCBoy]

Williams might not be the primary backup to Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith this season. The Cowboys view Williams as a guard prospect over tackle, where he started three years at Texas, partly due to less-than-ideal arm length.

But Williams further restores depth where the franchise has been strongest in recent years when healthy: the offensive line.

Yep, Williams offers some position flexibility and competition for sure. Competition at G with M Mart who only signed a 1 year contract. Possible competition for Flemming at T since he played the position in college. Smart pick

Must keep the FairLady's happy too

When he was called, beside his name he was listed as a tackle...any chance that he may have to play left tackle at some point, seeing how Smith has back issues...and is guard easier on the back than tackle? I am just curious as to whether Smith's back continues to be problematic, would he benefit from playing guard? In the end hopefully his back issue's are behind him.

 

[YosemiteSam]

I hear he not only he is weak, but he is soft and will likely get pushed around.

True

 

[Thomas82]

I'm not mad at us solidifying the offensive line. Now it's time to go get that rushing title back!!

 

[Verdict]

He will be a guard. We are good at OT.

He has also played OT. They will play them where they fit best. Position flex.
