Duke Williams....Does he get drafted...And by who?

[Floatyworm]

Was going over tape......Wow

If watching hightlights best on mute.......





Saw that he got dismissed from the team for getting into a bar fight

So the question I have who drafts him...and what round????

IMO...if it wasn't for the off field stuff...he's Dez Bryant 2.0

A wildcard in the draft that's for sure...

 

[CATCH17]

Looks like TO out there.

Well he is invited to the combine next week.....Will be interesting to see how he does...and if that sways anybody to draft him.

Call me crazy...but that kid has 1st round talent. Question is.....how big of a %^%^ is he? Sitting here looking @ my WR rankings....If it wasn't for the craziness.....he might be sitting @ the top of my WR board....he's got that kind of talent.

He makes some nice grabs, but to jump Treadwell, even with a good head on his shoulders, he would need to run exceptionally fast. His routes are a little sketchy and although he shows some serious hands, he lets a lot of balls get to his body too. He's probably a second round pick when all is said and done.

Give me a team what you think is willing to take that risk...New England?

Hey i'll gladly take a flier on him.

A college student getting in a bar fight is not a deal breaker for me. I don't know what his other issues are.

This is not something the media will go crazy about either. He'll just be some random guy on our roster.


Word is that he doesn't have much speed.

Unless I missed more to the story, it's not like the kid has had constant run-ins. He made one mistake. You said yourself without mistake he is first round talent. I think as long as he is remorseful in interviews at the combine (and tests as well as he looks like he might) teams will take a chance in the second. He's going to need to run pretty well, he looks a little slow in those clips. However, if he runs well, with that size, he'll go to someone in the second. Teams like San Francisco, Baltimore, Tennessee, St.Louis and quite a few more really need a legitimate, big body receiving threat. He may slip to the third, but I doubt he falls further than that.

This is what I think will hurt him more than anything. He seems to get run down from behind quite a bit. If he doesn't run well then all bets are off. He could slip pretty far.

Say he runs a 4.52.....then where do you got him?

With that size, I think he still goes in the first three rounds.

Like I said, it may come down more to how he interviews though. He's already owned up to the bar incident. If he handles being poked and prodded about it, teams may believe he's truly moved on.

We are talking about another kid who got kicked off a team for drug addiction, possibly going in the top-10...

Suspect hands, Probably wont stop him from being in somebodies camp in August.

Here is the complete story. Was disciplined several times through the year. Was much better in 2014 than 2015. Looked like he quit working.

In the middle between DGB and D'Rick Rodgers IMO. As a pure WR he is a good prospect. Maybe first round talent. If he does poorly in interviews or they dig up enough negative background info, he may not get drafted
