Question: Why Williams instead of taking Treylon Burks?

Cause Williams is way better and faster. Burks has some boom or bust. Williams if he hits he is Hill. But even if he doesn't he's a guy who can take the top off a defense. Burks could be Brian RObeskie

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. 

chase is 20 pounds heavier than williams and 2 inches shorter.  williams seems more like waddle from last year.

If the Lions receivers can get healthy, they have Chark and Williams as deep threats with Hockenson and St Brown and a solid #3 in Reynolds. This receiving core has some potential.

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.

Tyreke hill has topped 23 mph once, on a kick return. Williams was clocked at 23 mph in college, twice, as a receiver.

Sigh, Kevin Colbert takes Willis, he turns into a stud, and we get another decade plus of a dominate franchise dominating.

nope

As suspected, Steelers take Pickett.  Willis still available. 

[sagnam]

Willis is definitely falling.  Maybe to 46.

Nope.

Pickett.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

OMG!!! They picked Pickett. Well, either way, that means Pickett will be a Hall of Famer now. some franchises are favored by the football Gods and some aren't. Pickett wins at least what, one, possibly two, maybe three Super Bowls?

[RandyMarsh]

I didn't think Willis would be a fit for PIttsburgh, the Steelers are the type of franchise that don't have the patience to sit and wait 2-3 years for a guy to develop they need to compete every year and need a guy who can come in and play from day 1. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

What if Green Bay takes Willis??? Fuck Aaron Rodgers, I would laugh the rest of the draft if they did that.

Aaron Rodgers would pout so I hope they do.

what if the vikings take him at 32?

Chiefs trade up, patriots move back

That's a real possibility. Cousins is only signed through 2023.

I wouldn’t like that. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

I'd be bummed the Vikings got him. I still feel the same as I ever did about Willis as he is still the biggest boom or bust pick in this draft.

[TP_Fan]

Chiefs trade up for McDuffie.  CB.  Makes sense. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

I thought the Chiefs would have wanted to jump the Packers for a WR.

quite a few lions jerseys at the ol draft tonight.  detroit diaspora represent!

I think the Lions and Giants have had the best 1st round drafts on paper thus far. I trust that Brad Holmes and company did a ton of research on Jameson Williams' medical charts and know that he'll make a full recovery from the ACL injury.

[buddha]

a linebacker?  a-aron is not going to like that.
