He can't run block but he seems to be a much better pass blocking guard than what we had last week. He didn't give up a sack last year, boone else can say that on this current OL.
 
Conner is bad. Don't get it twisted. Just a guy.

But he was still the best player on the line after Zack went down. I have faith in Biadasz though. He'll be good long term.

CW is not very good. I guess you aren’t saying CW good, just the least suckage?
 
I would be curious to see how Connor would do at LT being that’s what he played in college

To be honest his college tape wasn't that impressive. Amazing freshman year followed by signficant sophmore slump and then injured junior year.

I still don't know why he was hyped, his draft profile was literally "if he can stay healthy and if he can switch positions and if he can return to his freshmen form then he should be a good starter". That's alot of "ifs" for someone who was supposedly a steal at the 50th pick

Connor Williams NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for Dallas Cowboys' Pick
MATT MILLER
APRIL 27, 2018
POSITIVES
—A naturally gifted, fluid athlete with explosive tape in pass protection and the run game.
—Bends well and has the flexibility to handle speed rushers off the edge.
—Day one impact in the passing game and has smooth movement to protect the corner.
—High-level instincts and awareness. His tape shows a high football IQ.
—Excellent in space, where his athleticism and agility show up.
—Showed post-knee injury in 2017 that he can play mean and bury pass-rushers.
—Will be 20 years old when drafted.
NEGATIVES
—Missed half the season in 2017 because of the knee injury (no surgery required).
—Arms measured at just 33 inches with a wingspan of 77 ⅞ inches. Both are low for tackles.
—Multiple scouts we spoke with suggested a move to guard, ala Zack Martin.
—Weighed in under 300 pounds at the combine (296 lbs).
—Play regressed in 2017 before injury.
OVERALL
Heading into the 2017 season, it looked like Connor Williams would be a top-10 pick. A rough game against Maryland and a September injury against USC changed that perception, but his technique is still the best of anyone in the class, and he's a top-tier athlete. His arms might be a little short for some teams, but he should be the first tackle drafted.
GRADE: 7.10 (Round 1)
PRO COMPARISON: Joe Staley, San Francisco 49ers
 
I think we are at a point of letting our guys play. Given the financial issues of the 2020 season im sure jerry isn't looking to add more players, and they damn sure shouldn't be moving draft capital for rental players.

Let the young guys play. If they can develop and mesh as a unit maybe this team will be fun to watch down the stretch, and maybe we find a couple contributors for 2021. No reason to not let these guys get extended time and see what you have.
