Preston Williams for me as well. No one in Miami standing in his way except himself

Talent wise some had him as a third rounder. Just because someone goes undrafted, it doesn't mean they are an undrafted level talent. I thought he looked pretty promising in college. He has a cannon and can run. His accuracy isn't the greatest, but he also played for a lesser team.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 4:30 pmRight. So I guess they were way off, then. It happens.

Yet teams still passed on him in the 7th round? That makes no sense. Somebody might have had him as a 3rd round grade, but it wasn't an NFL GM.
I was going to mention him. Would seem that very little stands in his way. Not sure if the community is down on him, not aware of him, or wants keep quiet so they can get him...
Who? Not any NFL team, that was my point. If a guy is a 3rd round grade on NFL teams boards, he's not going undrafted. Teams aren't drafting for need in the 7th round and passing on a guy that has a 3rd round grade on their board. Maybe some analysts had him as a 3rd round grade, but I don't believe for a second that any NFL team had a draft board with his name on it as a third round grade. There is no way a guy goes undrafted if teams have a 3rd round grade on a player, unless there are massive character or injury red flags that cause teams to pass on him.TheNuts wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 6:25 pmTalent wise some had him as a third rounder.

Still, Jackson and those around him always assumed that entry point would be as a draft pick, as high as a third-rounder, according to some projections.
Cool. That's fine. My only point was it clearly wasn't the NFL that did. These people clearly had him viewed differently to the NFL. I'm not saying you are wrong. I'm saying these people graded him differently than the NFL did.TheNuts wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 2:41 amFantasyFreak wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 10:58 pmWho? Not any NFL team, that was my point.

Some people, like I said, had him as a third round grade. He was obviously pretty sure he was a draft pick from the research he did. I thought the guy was going to be drafted. As a runner, he is pretty talented.
