NFL.com:

"An NFC scout said Oklahoma right tackle Daryl Williams reminds him of former Sooner and Minnesota Vikings 2009 second-round pick (#54 overall) Phil Loadholt. "(Williams) is more agile and lighter on his feet, but his punch and force is similar to (Loadholt's)," the scout said.

The comparison fits. Williams can be a dominant run blocker and has really stepped up as a leader for the Oklahoma offensive line"

On January 14, 2014, ProFootballFocus.com recognized Loadholt as one of their highest-rated offensive tackles in the NFL, stating, "Stud: Right tackle Phil Loadholt (+25.0) earned All-Pro honors in our eyes. He didn’t get the press he garnered last year as the team struggled but he remains the prototypical right tackle."

Both wore #79 at Oklahoma. The top picture (with Sam Bradford in the background) is Phil Loadholt. The bottom picture is Daryl Williams....

We've picked a LB/S, a WR/TE and an OG/OT according to some outlets

 

dat versatility. Nippleshorts/Riverboat love it.

 

Love this. Played out exactly how I wanted, trade/player/everything.  He can start at RT now, let Remmers and Oher hopefully handle LT. Williams and Trai on the right side? Hello running lanes. 

 

Now for Greene/Hardy/Crowder to fall to one of our 5th round comps...

 

Hardy n' Crowder? dey gone. 

 

For me, this is the favorite pick of the draft so far. I have coveted this guy for the panthers and now we have him! We just opened a highway on the right side of the line for our backs. This helps Cam so much too. What a wonderful day.

 

in the words of Nux from Mad Max: "WHAT A LOVELY DAY!"

 

Gettleman believes in quality over QUANTITY? in this years draft.

 

FIFY?

2015 Top 5 Tackles based on Win/Neutral %

3) Cedric Ogbuehi

4) Jake Fisher

5) Ereck Flowers

6) La'el Collins

7) TJ Clemmings

8) DJ Humphries

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fFPR3VDrC_F0V7nupkpCiOj8HstR2D40fen625a_ehI/edit?usp=sharing&pli=1

methodology:

"This website is devoted to charting NFL Draft offensive lineman prospects collegiate games...looking at whether they win or if they lose the snap. There is no emphasis on how they get the job done, as long as they do get it done. A player could have terrible form but seal the block, and that will count as a win. Likewise, a player could have perfect form and allow a sack, qualifying as a loss. A play will be counted as neutral if the player’s block had no impact on the outcome of the play i.e. quick screen."

Are there charts for this exact thing from past drafts?

Scout.com:

"After first appearing in nine games as a reserve tackle during his true freshman season in 2011, Williams started the first ten games on the 2012 schedule before missing three contests with a knee injury. He lined up at right tackle for the first 12 games on the 2013 schedule before moving to left tackle for the Sugar Bowl clash vs. Alabama. He earned second-team All-Big Twelve Conference honors after posting 60 knockdowns and nine touchdown-resulting blocks as a junior. In 2014, Williams remained at right tackle all season, as the All-Big Twelve first-team choice and squad captain collected 91 knockdowns and led the way on 11 touchdown-resulting runs."

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      You're not reading.  This isn't about his college performance. It's about his NFL prospects. The Golden Calf of Bristol was one of the greatest college players of all time. That didn't mean he was a great NFL prospect. Hunter is an elite of the elite NFL CB prospect who was a great college WR too based primarily on absurd physical talent and just natural ball skills. Could he be an elite WR if he focused on that? Honestly, probably. But in terms of him being the best WR prospect in this draft? No. His skill set is just way too raw as a WR. He just looks way more natural and instinctual playing CB.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      Yea...another Brooks move and I yelling. I'll reserve that till I see how many holes he fills in the draft. We all know our needs at this point.

      AND THERE IT IS Thank you, because you posted this as I was typing up my previous response and you did EXACTLY what I said the Hunter defenders do. You're taking people having very legitimate concerns about how part of his game will translate to the NFL and making it into someone talking bad about him as a college player. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING Go back and read every post I made about him this year, I consistently said he's a true generational collegiate talent, one of the rarest of them all.  But that doesn't mean jack squat when it comes to evaluating what kind of player he'll be in the NFL, or even just what position is best for him. If you want to think differently, that's totally fair, but pointing to things like stats and awards is just making you look like you don't know what you're talking about, because they don't mean anything.  There are so many instances of players putting up elite stats in college but couldn't sniff being even a serviceable NFL player.  Which again, isn't what myself or others are saying about Hunter, but it's just the proof that looking at stats/awards is a fools errand when projecting NFL potential and impact.
