Williams is a solid, dependable player both in coverage and against the run. He did not miss a single tackle when playing within 8 yards of the line of scrimmage at the snap, and led all FBS safeties in run-stop percentage when playing at that depth. While not a flashy hitter on the back end, he had 10-combined interceptions between 2015 and 2016 and gave up just 11 total receptions as the primary defender on 430 total coverage reps the past two seasons. A twitchy athlete with good size, length, speed, toughness and instincts is just what the saints need in deep center field.

OVERVIEW
Utah's secret to football success has been their coaches' ability to find three-star recruits out of California to make the trip to Salt Lake City. Williams, a Corona native, continued that trend and contributed immediately, starting six times as a true freshman (59 tackles, INT, two forced fumbles.) In 2015, he started every game, garnering first-team all-conference (66 tackles, five INT, five pass breakups), and academic all-conference honors (4.0 high school GPA). Williams missed time in 2016 with an injury but still was named second-team All-Pac-12 with 64 tackles, five interceptions and three pass breakups.

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Athletic and instinctive from high safety. Easy hips with smooth feet in his backpedal. Able to play from deep positioning and still make plays on the ball. Good recognition of quarterback’s intentions gives him a head-start on the throw. Has desired open-field speed to close from hash to sideline. Former basketball player and high-jumper with the leaping ability and timing to win the 50-50 throws. Posted 10 interceptions against 44 targets over last two seasons. Productive tackler and careful finisher. Steps downhill against the run. Leverages ball carriers to the sideline and rarely lets him cross back over into middle of the field. Gathers feet and widens out to unfurl a wider tackling net.


WEAKNESSES
Needs to add some muscle on his slim frame. More of a finesses safety than hitter. Takes the worst of it in one-on-one tackles. Can be dragged along for additional yardage. Plays with a hitch in his transition from backpedal. Occasionally follows quarterback's eyes too carefully and can be manipulated.

DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 2-3

NFL COMPARISON Justin Simmons

BOTTOM LINE Ball-hawking free safety who has outstanding ball skills and has shown a propensity for causing turnovers. He can play from a high centerfield spot and utilizes his instincts to swoop down and challenge throws. He's able to get running backs down, but he’s not physical enough to be a combination safety. NFL teams love defensive backs with athletic traits, instincts and ball skills. If he works out well before the draft, he should move up team boards.

Does this signify Vaccaros leave after this year?

Not one thing said about the pick

**** You NFL Network

Re: Day 2:
 

Hagan; tell me about this pick please... I know nothing about this guy and why safety seemed to be a bigger need than a pass rusher?

Re: Day 2:
 

Kenny isn't going anywhere. This adds a lot of support and options for the secondary.

Re: Day 2:
 

Hmm I guess they don't think Bell can handle the job

Re: Day 2:
 

Zero f's given about the pass rush. Current DB count on team - 964

Re: Day 2:
 

Re: Day 2:
 

Heck yeah baby. we have a deep center fielder to replace Byrd. Top of my list

Re: Day 2:
 

....okay.

Re: Day 2:
 

Dennis Allen loves three safety sets.

Re: Day 2:
 

Maybe someone is moving to CB

Re: Day 2:
 

Blown pick... First pick in a bit that I can say that on... Need a good 3rd round now

Re: Day 2:
 

Payton gives Zero ****s about the front 7, and that will be our downfall and the reason he gets sacked.

Re: Day 2:
 

Byrd replacement means less snaps for Bell? or a lot more three safety sets?

Re: Day 2:
 

Cam Jordan pretty much hinted earlier in the offseason before FA he wanted corners.

Re: Day 2:
 

We get so disrespected by the networks. They talk about the pick before us or after us. Either that or they go to commercial. Screw 'em!

Re: Day 2:
 

I thought Mayock did a nice job with our picks yesterday. He seems to be the least biased out of all of them

Re: Day 2:
 

.

Re: Day 2:
 

Insticts are incredibly solid and he has great hands. One of the best tackling S in the draft to boot. Not a huge hitter but does not miss tackles.

DA can put him deep and turn the dogs loose.

Pass rush I want

True Dat! :bng:

Re: Day 2:
 

Re: Day 2:
 

If we could pull off that trade I'd feel a lot better about this draft. Kinda curious what his deal is though. Would have to hope it wouldn't be an Albert Haynesworth situation

Re: Day 2:
 

Fine with it. Our line is nothing to scoff at. Not the best but with a good secondary to compliment it we can have a respectable D. All we really need end of the day.

Re: Day 2:
 

Bell? nah different style of Safety. He looks great in the slot up on the line. reminds me a lot of KV. Which is something I did not see in Bells play in college.

Re: Day 2:

Only one way to get even with those ****-tards.....
