Marcus Williams

I think he should be a target at 28. I've seen almost every big name safety mentioned but him. Sparq winner, has game film to back it up (unlike Obi). Played tough competition.

Position fit: FS/S

Stats to know: Highest run-stop percentage of all FBS safeties in 2016. Second-highest tackle efficiency against run of all FBS safeties in 2016.

Wow impressive. Haven't heard much of him other than at the combine..He did have 5 interceptions last year right?

He is sneaky good. Probably has the best range of any of the FS yet never ever gets the "late first" hype talk.

I agree. One of those guys you wonder why he isn't getting more of a buzz. Melifonwu is seducing scouts with athleticism while Williams has been the better football player.

Another one I feel fits this description is Jarrad Davis. He's finally getting some recognition after his pro day today but that guy is a plug and play day 1 starter in the NFL. You can do a lot worse with a mid to late 1st round pick.

Get out of my toilet.

I like Williams. I'm not a Ute fan, but live in Utah and have watched most of his games. Why are we comparing him to Obi? Williams is a deep safety and Obi plays in the box. Both guys are studs. Obi will rightfully go much higher.

I love Davis. The injury concern is certainly there, however, and I'm not sure where LB ranks on the need list now. I wouldn't be mad at Davis, but would hope to find value at another position. Not that LB isn't a need, but it's easier to mask than pass rush/secondary.

Ranks high. You wanna pin your hopes on Sean Lee's health and Jaylon Smith's foot brace?

Played tough competition.

Played well in a passing conference.

No, but we've got more needs than we have quality picks to invest towards them. ILB isn't at the top of my list.

 

[reddyuta]

I mentioned him in the Combine thread.he should definitely be a target at 60.

 

[Sandyf]

He will be there in the 3rd, take him then.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Williams, like a lot of defensive prospects this year, seems to fall into the category of a possible reach at 28 but no way in heck he lasts til 60.

More like 28.

Yet Williams run stops were better than Obi. ThevPackers have had two free safeties for years and they do fine without the (box guy).

There's about 10 guys I like in the 2nd round that fit this label.

LB is huge need IMO
We only have Lee and a bunch of prayers behind him

True. But it's the least important level of a defense these days. It's certainly a need. But so are DE, CB, SS, RT--DE and CB being the biggest. If a LB is the clear BPA, I hope they draft one at 28. If not, I hope they wait.

I would take him over the jerk we got playing free safety now.
