Would a late round RB gem like Bill round out our draft nicely?

I think you've nailed it. That is exactly where I'm hoping we go with the remaining picks.

I loved the Styles pick but I'm a little bit down on our 3rd rounder. I'm sure Williams is a good player but I don't think we needed another slot guy and the likes of Brazzell, Bell and Sarratt were all still available

He can play outside.

"Adam Peters lauded Antonio Williams' toughness and work ethic. "We really liked the versatility of him, as well. He played inside this year, he played outside last year. And that's what differentiated him, his ability to win outside."

I suspect Williams is going to be the guy Dyami Brown was supposed to be when we drafted him. Open when Terry is covered and vice versa.

Height is the only factor against him, and we don't have anyone higher (right now) than #3 on the roster that is taller than 6' 1". I'd say McCaffrey, Burks and maybe Brooks are going to have to separate themselves out as that red zone threat to keep a roster spot. That and Sinnott finally coming good.

Funny you mentioned that, I was thinking that Williams looks similar to D. Brown when I watched his highlights. This seems to be a good pick, the WR group is definitely going to be interesting to see how it works out.

I personally still hold some hope for Burks to a good year this year. Burks did decent last year and that was with Mariota. I'm curious to see how Burks plays with JD.

And with a full camp and pre-season. I'm with you on this excited to see what Burks can do. More one handed TD catches please!

Yep fair enough. Let's hope he is the guy they believe he's going to be. Certainly an upgrade on Lane and McCafffrey and definitely helps the WR room but I just can't help the feeling maybe we could have done a little bit more with the pick.

I really hope he balls out and allays my fears.

I like the 3rd rounder. That is where WR's should be taken. Hoping the injury thing is something in the past.

A good break down on some Antonio Williams. This guy was talking about him days before the draft.

Hoping Williams turns into a reliable guy for us. Feels like we have a bunch of guys at WR now. McLaurin, Lane, Burks, McCaffrey, Brown, Jefferson, and now Williams (and Brooks and Jones from last year’s PS). Only one proven quality starter though. Hope Williams can change that - seems like a similar skill set to McCaffrey in a more compact frame.

Going into the season I'd have no problem with McLaurin, Williams, Burks, McCaffrey and Brown (+ Lane if they carry 6). If we do bring in Aiyuk*, then I say definitely keep 6, with Brown or Lane losing out.

*If 9ers do as expected, I'd go after him as a FA but definitely not a trade. I don't see any remaining FA's that offer an upgrade on what's on the roster already, at lest not a cost effective option. Aside from UDFA's I reckon WR room is set subject to June 1st.

That all sounds right to me. Torn on Ayiuk. Bad injury and a head case - but the talent is there.

Center is were the value is likely to be by 147. Hecht, Lew or Brailsford.

Can’t even watch because of the introductions. Rypien last night was unbearable. These super fans are lucky the draft isn’t in Philly or it would be a bloodbath.

Seriously, was Rypien doing drugs before going on stage?

C'mon Jalon Kilgore. Fall a few more spots.
