It was a draft board problem, IMO. A well-set board yields both players and there's nothing inherent to the process that would've prevented that.

Sam Williams had off the field concerns that gave him a 0% chance of being draftted in the 1st. He wasn't even drafted in the top 50.
It's ****ing stupid, and Tribal Warfare has been a ****ing moron about Karlaftis from the beginning. Whether it's him saying that his only shot to be good would be to bulk up and play 3T, or the implication that he's going to be a 1 sack a year guy for his entire career based on the first half of his rookie season, his takes have been asinine. |

Okay, well there's good info. I wasn't aware that Williams didn't have as many snaps. And I haven't seen him play much this season either. i don't have the luxury of watching every game right now, so i think I've only seen about a half of any DAL game so far.

I don't put you in the category, at least not after I told you to stop. And don't get me wrong, I like Tribal, always have. But in this case, it sure seems like his mind is made up and has been for a long time. |

And was advised that really was the extent of it. To which I responded "This dude has the measurables and production of a top 10 pick - why is he sliding as far as he is?" 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.

That's my opinion, and wanting to be proven wrong.

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. |

I had a ton of Mocks with Karlaftis and Skyy at 29/30 and Williams in the 3rd….so I would have been in love getting them…but honestly, I like what we did over that.

Just look at this exchange with me and Pest (might've been wrong or just mixed the two up but I thought me and DJ had a similar exchange as well).

Pretty much all of them fit that bill. Maybe Andy felt the locker room needed new young leadership with Tyrann leaving and wanted to avoid character concerns that might have created minor derailment by picking guys like Williams and/or Pickens. Remember, they have 20x more in depth info on what actually happened than we do. |

Because even I didn't have him ahead of Karlaftis as an overall prospect. Once Karlaftis made it to 30, that was a no-brainer to me.
