DawgTalkers.net Forums Thread Like Summary - Jameson Williams

IMO Jameson Williams is in play at 13.

At first because of the injury I had ruled him out. His prognosis is 5 to 7 months but he is ahead of schedule.
From what I read about his surgery. It was a clean tear that they were very optimististic about.

I am sure at the Combine all his medical information was available.

As a player turn on the tape. I do not need a stop watch. He is the fastest player on the field at all times. He pulls away from db's - quickly.

There is fast and then there is past fast. That's him.

In addition he is not a just speed. He is a thoroughbred receiver. He is receiver first with great speed.

I don't think his injury is going to hurt his draft status if he can play in September. Maybe he is a little slow out of the gate.
But this guy is legit.

so, I was curious to see what scouting reports thought of Williams... Apparently, everyone else noticed the same thing.

NEGATIVES
— Has a tendency to body-catch throws at his body, which can lead to drops. Can be uncomfortable when catching in traffic.

Williams has a tendency to body catch or trap the ball when it is thrown inside his frame which can result in the odd drop.

https://atbnetwork.com/2022/02/05/jameson-williams-scouting-report/
Inconsistent technique catching passes, as he frequently allows balls to enter his chest rather than attacking and plucking the front point of the football.
Struggles to maintain focus and composure at the catch point in traffic. Due to Williams’ long and slender frame, physical cornerbacks and safeties are able to overwhelm him with their play strength. This had led to many incomplete passes in contested catch situations.

-Tendency to let ball into body makes him susceptible to drops
-Couldn’t crack OSU depth chart; just 15 combined receptions as a freshman and sophomore

Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.


https://www.silverandblackpride.com...jameson-williams-alabama-scouting-report
He’s a body catcher and doesn't have natural hands, leading to drops on throws that are away from his torso. He also won’t bail out the quarterback on inaccurate passes — but still catchable — that are in front or behind him and above his waist





Right now my ranking would probably go

1a. Burks (better at breaking tackles and has a mean stiff-arm)
1b. Wilson
2. Dotson
3. Olave
4. Williams

Watching Williams is like hitting fast forward on the remote.

His average TD went 47 yards.

It really becomes about fit.

London, Wilson, Willliams, Burks.

These guys all have great skill. They all play differently. It is about who fits best if receiver is the way they go.

Williams is one of the fastest players I have ever seen. Ever. He gets separation.

Burks is physical bruising type receiver. Big dude who fights for the ball.

Wilson is the best all around receiver. He does everything that a receiver is supposed to do.

London maybe the best fit. He is an outstanding blocker. He can play the slot and be the possession guy. He can split out and win outside with height and body position. He is a endzone mismatch. He is not a burner but he is a terrific YAC guy.

Berry has to determine who fits best.

now that we have Cooper, I doubt we will end up with a WR with our first pick.

I don't. By that logic we wouldn't have drafted Newsome last year. Most everyone knows the math dictates Landry will now be cut. Cooper has never had more than eight TD's in a single season. He's no slouch by any stretch of the imagination but he's not the end all be all answer to fixing this WR group. Rookies can give you a huge upgrade at a small price compared to free agents. Who else would you consider a #1 or #2 WR on this roster with Landry gone? While it's a small sample size, Berry has rebuilt units that are weak, not tried to add a single player to accomplish that goal.
