Let me start off by saying that I see Williams as the #2 back due to his many positives like college production, strength, vison, balance, recieiving ability and elusiveness. There are some serious concerns that some, not all, scouts or "experts" have voiced about him though. The negatives on him like lack of height, size and top end speed, along with questionable pass protection skills have been the ammunition that some scouts are using to donwgrade Williams and put some of the other backs in front of him. I've seen him ranked as low as 5th or 6th of the upcoming draft picks in this draft!!! (See NFL Network on Demand)
Many on this board seem to be really high on him, as shown by the numerous posts and the #12 overall dynasty ranking given to him just a week or so ago. Are the scouts correct that backs like White, Maroney and Addai will be better pro backs than Williams? What are people on this board seeing in him that some scouts aren't? Does his game translate to the NFL that will have him in the elite status of RBs?
Many of us are considering him in our upcoming rookie drafts and I want to have the order of talent a little clearer before I see what teams they go to. I don't want to reach for a player due to position over talent; as we saw in many drafts last year with JJ Arrrington.
