Daryl Williams not likely to return from IR, according to Steve Reed

Sucks but not exactly surprising. Let this guy rest up and get that knee right.

I just wonder if we plan on letting him walk and see Moton as our future at RT? I wish we'd give Moton a real serious look at LT because I think there's a legit chance that we have our starting OTs for the rest of Cam's career already on the roster and that would give us some huge roster/draft freedom if that's the case.

Going to make for interesting contract negotiations.

Sucks for Daryl, but either way I think he's going to end up fetching wuite a bit less than he would've had he been able to have another healthy and good performing season. NFL teams really only have one year of perfoance to go off of and he'll be a year and two knee injuries removed from that. Not sure what his market will be, but he might be best off in the long run to bet on himself and sign a one year prove it deal and hit the market again following '19 as opposed to signing mid-level multi-year deal. Probably depends on his priorities. He can probably sign a deal that would have him set for life if he wants that or he could roll the dice and try to set himself up to sign a deal that would have his family set for generations following '19.

How sure are we that he's going to be healthy in future seasons?

I don't think that's guaranteed at this point.

Doesn't sound like any of these injuries are actually all that serious. No mention of damage to the "big stuff". ACL, patellar ligament, etc.

There's never any guarantee of health for a football player, but in terms of long-term prognosis I don't see teams devaluing him too much. I think only one year of performance and being a year removed from that will hurt his value more than injury concern.

    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
