I think you would have to do it if you think Williams is out of reach, because there's no guarantee you get the rookie T you want/need.

At that point, you'd hope that with him being three years removed from his ACL, he could improve his performance, while I would definitely use the 25 to take a T (and possibly trade up) to give him competition and provide depth.

But Williams would have to ask for something totally unreasonable for him to be out of reach for me (he says as he's spending someone else's money), or Williams would have to flat out say he wants nothing to do with this team or town.

Agreed, if I did if we didnt feel like we can get Williams for whatever reasons like you say and we tag Cam, that wouldnt stop me from drafting a LT just because we tagged him.  If we have a tackle at the top of our board when its our pick take him. But I think if we dont tag Cam and miss on Willimas and Okunk in FA then I think we might be forced to reach for need at LT and thats something I dont want to do

Shots fired!

Dude, flgators is pretty knowledgeable.  Yeah he pushes his Gators, but I think his takes are pretty good overall.  I can't recall having strong disagreements with him on a guy's talent or ability.

I think most of the participants in this thread are good-not that I am in any real position to adversely judge at this stage.

He has great hands and is a decent blocker, but he looks very slow on tape. If we were to draft a TE, I believe we would probably look for a faster option like Hunter Long, Kenny Yeboah or Matt Bushman (assuming he heals back to 100%).

I don't see the slowness on tape.

To me, he shows as much speed and athletic ability as Gesicki, but he's bigger.

Yeah, me and you usually agree on most takes.  The people on here that liked Freiermuth, liked him before we hired Bowen.
