I watched every game this year for Bama. So I'm not.

It was speculated prior to this game that Jonah Williams struggled against really good pass rushers only he didn't face too many on Bama's schedule.
Much better in run game than pass pro.
I've read that he is better suited as a RT in the NFL.
How many RTs get taken top 10? Just wondering.

He's the guy who stepped on Tua's ankle in SEC championship while getting bullied back by UGA DL.

I've been watching him because I was once interested in selecting him and book ending him with Cam.
But I feel like he's a worse prospect than Cam and we already have plenty of fans wanting to move Cam to RT or complaining about his play (in like 16 games and a preseason) in general

He's a better pro prospect coming out than Cam and much more polished as a pass protector. Thats why he'll go in the top 15 picks where as Cam fell.    
Williams was the best tackle in the country this year too, only allowed 9 pressures and was dominant as a run blocker.  

I don't agree he's better "suited" to the right. Elite pass rushers are plentiful on both sides now and based on everything we've seen Williams has real polished technique and footwork, moving him to the right wouldn't make sense unless you already have a high end LT.

I don't doubt he's drafted top 15 (GMs reach all the time and OT is premium position). I just don't think he's worth a top ten selection as a LT. I don't think he comes in as a day 1 starter at LT. He has issues with his length, his ability against rushers with good bend. I wouldn't take him at 7. Or in the top ten. And I wouldn't play him over Cam Robinson. Maybe it came off like I was calling him trash, but I wasn't. Just no longer as high on him as I once was.
Thought he would play better against good competition. He didn't.
Much in the same way that watching a QB I like early in the season struggle under the lights would have him slide down my board, I was on the fence about perhaps Jax taking Williams at 7 if, for instance, Haskins is gone (maybe Lock too). Now I would prefer to take one of the defensive studs or trade down.
