CB Greedy Williams not a 1st round pick?
GREEDY WILLIAMS
DB, LSU TIGERS The Athletic's Dane Brugler reports that "several teams" don't have first-round grades on LSU CB Greedy Williams. Williams (6'2/185) sits on the Round 1/2 borderline, but this report indicates opinions are all over the place. After a dominant 2017 collegiate season, Williams allowed the lowest catch rate among SEC cornerbacks in 2018, but some draft analysts are concerned with his slender frame and how that projects to his tackling ability. Despite the critique, NFL Media's Lance Zierlein says Williams has the potential to be a team's CB1. Per Rotoworld |

There's always a few of these DB's that we CPers think are first round talents who end up slipping to the top of the 2nd.
I feel like Adderly is going to slip. Maybe this guy too /shrug. |

Brings up a question - if (big if) Williams and Adderly are both still there, which one should we take?

If it's Greedy or Hock, I'm taking Hock.
Fant's a closer call due to fit rather than talent. But I don't think either guy falls that far. Fant is such a perfect fit with the Packers and I think Hock will go somewhere between the Jags and the Bills; the Jags, Lions and Bills could all really use him and he's the most complete TE talent in this draft by far. |

But the Chiefs will take a DL, both will drop to the 2nd, then we'l spend all night discussing how the Chiefs can trade up to grab one, only to see them not trade up at all. |

To me you take Greedy knowing that if you can't get the FS type you want then you can always sign a Boston or whomever as a stop gap. There are no players at CB that are available.

To be fair, 185lbs is pretty slender for a 6-2" defender.

I've read reports that he's being pushed down purposely. I'll try to find the tweet. Referenced another player being pushed up that maybe didn't deserve it.

I can't find it, but damn if this kid doesn't get compared to Marcus Peters a lot. Lack of tacking and attitude.

I think Adderly looks kinda smallish out there, and this guy is an inch or two taller and 20lbs lighter. |

Also, we don't seem to care about tackling ability - we drafted Marcus Peters.
