Daryl Williams OT Oklahoma

[gettlemanjack]

from an article on Williams a year ago, before the 2014 season began:

“Daryl truly has been remarkable as he stepped forward in the winter, spring and summer,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. “He’s been one of the best leaders I’ve been around in 16 years. He’s always been a bright, great worker, great teammate, but now he’s taken ownership of being a leader.”

...

quarterback Trevor Knight said: “He was watching extra film every single day, on top of what we already had to do,” Knight said. “He was coming out early for practice, staying late for practice, really doing all the little things right. And it paid off for him.”

...

defensive tackle Chuka Ndulue said: “I believe in my soul that Daryl is the best right tackle in the nation,” Ndulue said. “Going against him in practice every day makes me better as a player, because if I can hold my own against him I can hold my own against anyone in the country.”

comments from fellow Huddlers:

ncfan:

"would rather see us go out and get a solid LT in the 1st. A Good #2 WR in this deep WR pool in the 2nd. Then get a Road Grading Mauler RT like Daryl Williams in the 3rd."

ncfan:

"3rd R: Daryl Williams- Looked good at LT vs Alabama last year but will be a RT in the NFL. Kid can open some holes in the run game and a solid pass blocker."

ncfan:

"3rd R - Daryl Williams: good pass blocker for a RT, had a GOOD showing at LT vs Alabama last year. Good run blocker. Future is RT in the NFL but can play LT if needed. Again better than any OT on our current roster."

AaronPhillips28:

"We aren't even guaranteed to take a T in the 1st. If Landon Collins fell, get him. That would leave us with a guy like Thompson or teammate Daryl Williams in the 2nd."

I believe oaklahoma makes great offensive linemen. I wouldn't be against drafting this guy. My dream would be to draft Either draft Jake fisher in the second and Williams in the 3rd or Williams in the 3rd and Havenstein in the 4th.

Not sure about 1st round, but I had Cedric in the 2nd.  Williams could work also, just not totally sure of his transition to the left side

Pro Football Focus:

Pass blocking efficiency is a pure stat that simply measures how often a blocker allows pressure, but it doesn’t differentiate between how quickly it got there or how bad the block actually was

Continue getting lots of push back for my Daryl Williams

stance. Top 30 player for me. High floor, low ceiling. Excellent

recovery balance.
