Williams Case Study

The Bills try to negate the loss of Eric Wood and Cordy Glenn by selecting the versatile interior lineman out of Ohio State.

We have explored several corner prospects over the past few weeks. Each would be a tremendous upgrade to what is already on the Steelers roster.

Fast forward to this year’s draft and the Eagles replicated this same philosophy in the fourth round.

That won't be an issue if the first practice is any indication, Williams said. He "absolutely" got enough work as the backup because the offense ran dozens of plays throughout the day. Williams even commented on his feet hurting after the session.

When Dez broke his foot week 1 there was confidence in some that Williams would step up, and not be Dez Bryant, but help keep this offense rolling to where they wouldn’t miss Dez a whole lot. But of course things like that didn’t plan out so well. Williams to me is a 50/50 player who that you don’t know which player you will get each Sunday. Some games you’ll get the Williams that catches just about

The Dallas Cowboys have terminated the contract of running back Ryan Williams just days before the team’s training camp opens on Tuesday, as reported by ESPN’s Todd Archer.

Dockett was probably the biggest shock. After never missing a game for the first 10 seasons of his career and earning three Pro Bowl selections with the Arizona Cardinals, Dockett just hasn’t been the same (apparently) since missing last season with a knee injury.

Louis Rams counterpart, Trumaine Johnson is another pending free agent. In 13 starts, he picked off seven passes, defended another 17 and made 71 tackles, all career highs. Not to mention, Johnson will probably have a cheaper price tag than Jenkins.

With Smith likely to be red shirted in ’16 and the rest of the defensive draft picks not fancy enough, it’s hard to think at the moment that the Cowboys’ defense can become a playmaking unit and improve from their dreadful production in the takeaway department. At the same time, adding meat on the interior by signing Cedric Thornton and drafting Collins could give the Cowboys a better push inside, opening up the gaps for the linebackers shoot through while improving the outside rush – and though Demarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory are suspended for the first four games – let’s not forget that we saw an uptick in Lawrence’s game last season and that Gregory still has lots of upside to be special. Of course, that’s if both youngsters can keep their noses

Marcus Smith is very close to become a big bust. The Eagles selected Smith 26th overall in the 2014 NFL draft. Smith had 16 sacks in his draft year. Smith has played in 21 career games and has total of 6 tackles and 1.5 sacks in his two year career. Smith has never started a game for the

However, despite the Eagles' success in the running game, they still lack a franchise/lead back. Mathews held the fort down in the backfield but also had a couple of nagging injuries plus fumbling issues. All signs point to the Eagles moving on from him. Sproles, on the other hand, did an excellent job, carrying the ball

Start—Chris Ivory, New York Jets: Okay, sure, drafting anyone on the Jets probably wasn’t your smartest move, but things can’t be terrible forever! Ivory led the Jets last season with 821 yards and six touchdowns. On top of that, Chris Johnson is gone, leaving Ivory as the go-to guy in the Jets’ offense (or lack thereof).

Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers: This guy was a beast last year. I know, because I had him on my team. He had eight games in which he had more than 100 yards, his lowest amount in a game last year, 72. He led the NFL in receiving yards and tied for second in touchdowns. While Martavis Bryant and Markus Wheaton improved towards the tail end of last year, this guy is still amazing. Brown doesn’t really have any disappointing games either. He’s my number one guy at wideout. If my top five ranked running backs are gone and he’s available, it’s a no brainer, I’m drafting this standout

Trade rumors to New York Jets defensive end Sheldon Richardson are non-stop since before the NFL trade deadline expire. His involvement in these rumors came after the Jets continue to struggle and many believe they will miss the playoff if they will do nothing. And it seems that they've already made a move and talking to the Denver Broncos.
