[BullheadCardFan]

Jayden Williams is a high-cut, wiry tackle with good initial quickness and a jolting punch, generating force on contact with a sturdy anchor and movement skills on cutoffs and pulls. However, his upright, robotic style and wandering eyes lead to late reactions, quick losses and limited recovery, with lapses in timing exposing him to movement. Williams projects as a capable backup who needs to land first and latch, with limited ability to recover once the rep extends.

Williams is a 6'4", 307-pound offensive tackle prospect who entered the Ole Miss program as a 4-star recruit in the 2021 class.

The former Rebel started 34 career games split between each tackle spot (19 at LT & 15 at RT), including 15 at right tackle last season. Williams was a full-time starter as a redshirt freshman in 2022 before finishing 2023 as a role player and missed seven games in 2024 due to knee injuries.

We got our starting right tackle in the 7th round. Not because he is good but because all of our right tackles suck. Good job Monti.

Interesting - all four day 3 picks were Shrine / Senior Bowl standouts.

That's where you build depth and find hidden gems.

When you skimp paying on talent evaluators, you draft senior bowl standouts….cuz it was on espn.

He would have gone in the first round but all the other teams had the wrong phone number for him

Best tackle in the draft, future HOFer

From J Williams to J Williams at RT!?

 

[gmabel830]

I know nothing about him and he seems like a reach, but it's not like OT isn't our biggest need so I hope he pans out!

 

[GeorgiaCard88]

Not putting a ton of stock in our day 3 picks- struggle to understand how they are going to fit on the roster/contribute. But hey- would love to be pleasantly surprised

From J Williams to J Williams at RT!?

lol @ 7th round reach

 

[gmabel830]

lol @ 7th round reach

Well that's fair - pretty much everywhere I looked had him rated beyond 257, so UDFA, but in the 7th round beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder

More camp bodies but you never know

He would have been flagged for holding on half those plays in the NFL. Probably my least favorite thing in the NFL. You manhandle your man to the point that he collapses in front of you and the momentum carries you down with him. Holding.
