So AJ Brown traded to Philadelphia for the 18th pick. I'm guessing the Eagles wanted Williams.

This will not happen but just asking:

What would you think if Homes trades the Rams 2023 1st rounder for a this-year late 1st and picks Malik Willis?

Would love it.  I’m hoping for it.

I think Minnesota wants to parlay that 32nd pick. 

[TP_Fan]

Go get Willis!

I'm really tempted. But what assets do we have to move up now? Next years 1st from the Rams and the pick at #46 that we got from the Vikings? Could that get it done?

If Willis falls past 25, I think it would get it done.

If Pittsburgh doesn't take him, it could be a free fall. Maybe Cincinnati at 31 or trade again with Minnesota at 32.

Forgot about the Saints. He could go here. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

is this AJ Brown the Titans saying to him screw you, we won't pay you.

[RandyMarsh]

This is why we went up for Williams.  Holmes realized that all the top WRs would be gone by the time we picked at 32.

Question: Why Williams instead of taking Treylon Burks?

[TP_Fan]

Dotson at 16 is such a surprise.

I do wonder where Holmes had Watson and Pickens on his board.

[Stanley70]

Burks ran a 4.55

He kind of looks like Tyreke Hill. Maybe not as fast but similar.

Faster. 

[TP_Fan]

Saints take a tackle. Wow. No QBs. Willis will be in play late in this 1st, assuming Steelers take Pickett. 

[gehringer_2]

Steelers have to take a QB, right?

I love Burks as well as Watson and Pickens, particularly for the Lions needs but Williams is just a special talent and in a league of his own in this draft imo. I watched him against that great Georgia defense and he made THAT defense look like they were playing in slow motion the way he blew past them. He may not be Jamarre Chase but he is damn close..assuming no setbacks from his injury which I guess considering it's the Lions we probably shouldn't just assume that. 

[buddha]

tyreke hill ran a 4.29.  no one is faster than tyreke hill.

williams is a speed merchant who will be their deep threat, the x receiver that goff cant hit deep.

if he recovers from the acl in time to play 1/2 the season.

[Motown Bombers]

I remember when they drafted Broyles coming off a knee injury. I still think it's worth the gamble.
