There's all sorts of draft stuff up there now, including analysis on the commander's

latest pick, the 71st overall, Antonio Williams, the receiver from Clemson. They get a guy that they

needed, but does he solve the problem about the number two receiver? Well, not necessarily,

but he certainly adds another guy to the mix of guys who can produce for the commander's opposite

term of chlorine. Remember, two years ago, they had a very good passing attack. They did not have a true number two receiver. They had a bunch of guys who could fill that role, Alameday Zakias, Noah Brown, at times Diombi Brown in the playoffs. So they had guys who could fill that role. I think that's what they're developing here because I don't know what Williams is going to do as a rookie third round pick. I do think there's potential there to

certainly help right away. And then can you fill out the position with even more help and create

even more depth? And there's still a couple moves they can make, whether it's the rest of this draft

or after the draft, when a couple moves they can make, whether it's the rest of this draft or after

the draft when a couple guys might be options. So we'll get into that in a minute. But let's talk about Williams first because this is the guy they drafted. And I say, like, we don't know what he's going to be. But when you look at him and when you look at his resume and when you watch him on film, I think there's more potential for him there than there is like, again, McCaffrey or Jalen Lane. And so I think you can start there. And I think

this is a guy that definitely has some upside to his game. And I think he's a guy who can help,

but just to what degree and where. So I say, keep saying where, because he was primarily a slot player at Clemson.

Now, that's how they would see him as a Z, then a flanker and then a slot in the three

receiver set. So he can play outside. Primarily, I would say probably more of an inside guy.
