If teams are so terrified of a career ending injury he would be freefalling and he really isn't. Draft day may be a different story, but there doesn't seem to be any panic regarding Williams yet.


Lol, I started to respond and got side tracked. You edited the post before I could respond. "yet" is the key word. Now, every team's medical staff has a different assessment of players, and some are more willing to take on injury risk than others if he does live up to his potential. I didn't just pull this out of thin air though. He very well may go 2-3, and I know it's laughable to mention someone like McShay, but if you notice he dropped him to 7 a few days ago...

This is largely considered the week of smoke. Rumors fly all around, and teams "leak" all kinds of "desires" to the media to do nothing other than stir shite up and try to get in the heads of other teams and create possible trade offers based on overreactions.

If one or only a select few teams know something, there's no way in hell that they leak the info to the media on the off chance others don't. But, what you always see the day before the draft or day of is some relatively "unknown" prospect shoot up out of no where, or a highly mocked player inexplicably fall. Take it with a grain of salt.

I'm just sharing a reason why he all of a sudden could fall to 5 (or further), or how could teams in front be so stupid as to let this happen..

Good catch. He has also been very high on Randy Gregory & pimping him to the Saints at #13 then today all of sudden he says that there is no way the Saints take Gregory with that pick. It's like he went from completely ignoring Payton's comments this offseason about finding high character players to it smacking him dead in the face today. That entire NFL Nation mock draft had a more serious tone to it than just the normal pre draft discussions of pimping certain players.
