I think he's overplaying his hand w/r/t Karlaftis, but to say "well nobody would've thought of Williams as a 1st round pick" isn't fair either - I absolutely thought he was a guy worth taking in the 1st and I believe others did as well.
I mean outside of Walker and Thibodeaux, I didn't see an edge in this draft who's raw talent exploded off the screen more than Williams did.

And like I tried to tell you during the process, it wasn't going to happen.
Nobody said "well nobody would've thought of Williams as a 1st round pick".
You were far from the only person that saw 1st round talent in Sam Williams. Many of us loved him.
But that doesn't change the fact that he was never going in the 1st round.
