Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Ht: 6’ 4 5/8” Wt:
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: After acquiring McNabb, offensive line became the team's top need. A quick athletic tackle will be perfect for Shanahan's zone blocking scheme.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Has as much athletic talent as any O-lineman in the draft, but teams will have reservations about investing too heavily given his selfish makeup at a blue-collar position. Has the talent to play all five positions and is strong, physical and extremely athletic and capable of becoming a Pro Bowl-caliber performer in the pros. However, his lazy streak will likely prevent him from ever reaching his potential, and teams need to be fearful about how he will react to instant fame and fortune. A top-five talent whom most sound decision makers will wrestle with giving a top-15 payday. Has bust potential.
NFL projection: Top-10 pick.
GM Jr’s scouting report: Williams is a prospect that grows on you with every game you watch because so few big OT’s can move so easily and are able to physically dominate their man. While his lapses in technique hinder his overall consistency of production, his ability to dominate his man is what excites me about Williams. Due to his lapses in technique he at times does not look or play like a top athlete, but his ability to twist body quickly to adjust to block a quick moving target really shows off his athleticism. Overall, Williams really reminds me a lot of current Saints OT Jamaal Brown who came into the league with two similar weaknesses (Inconsistent snap anticipation and an inconsistent punch), but has improved in those areas to become a very good starting OT. I believe that Williams will become a very good starter who could play LT or RT depending on his team’s needs.
Lindy’s Sports scouting report: Scouts project Williams as a mid-first-round pick at right tackle because of his strength and athleticism for his size. Teams looking to beef up their running game should look no further.
