Guys like Ryan Smith & Deiondre Green were still on the board. BA has hard on's for guys with speed, Williams did run a 4.37 40 at the Combine, but you need more than speed to play CB in the NFL.

I would have rather them take Kentrell Brothers or Dak Prescott.

No way any of you can tell me that this kid wouldn't have still been around in later rounds.

Keim must have seen something in Brandon Williams so I will trust the pick.

I'm just saying, there were guys on the board who could have helped us immediately....even Westerman

Cards pick is the biggest reach I have ever seen. this guy wasn't even supposed to be taken in the whole draft.

Projected 3rd or 4th Round...

NFL coaches pushed to have him included in combine, to see more of him at CB, since not so much tape, but lots of talent.

If Keim and the guys are taking him in the 3rd, after only having one pick since day one... they must really believe in the guy and seeing much more than a special teams player with our CB depth

From twitter lol

"Kyle Odegard ‏@Kyle_Odegard · 14m14 minutes ago

Brandon Williams doesn't have cable at his apartment so he went to Texas A&M to watch the draft. Didn't think he'd go this high."

And this one is more interesting, maybe NFL teams think more of him than the media :)

My brother in law is somewhat involved in the MSU athletics program and said he is a douche (or at least agreed with me when I said it).

The way he treated Archie Griffin was appalling.

Here's a scouting report I read on Deadspin:

“Let’s put it this way: he’s not Kirk Cousins,” another scout said. “The person kills him. Selfish. He goes out too much. It’s a tell-tale sign when your teammates don’t like you, and I know they don’t. He’s good, but that position is more than physical attributes. It’s also leadership. Is he going to lead your guys? I don’t think so. He’ll be a starter but I don’t think he can lead you to the promised land.” Fifth-year senior from Hinckley, Ohio. Passer rating was 95.2, Wonderlic was 25. “He stinks,” a third scout said. “Wildly inaccurate (57.5% career). Average arm, average mobility, average field vision. Not a leader. Not aware. Someone will take him in the second, third or fourth round and he’s going to disappoint. The owner needs to fire the GM right after they pick him if someone takes him in the first. But when the Buffalo Bills took EJ Manuel in the first, all bets are off.”
