With the 76th pick of the ROD draft, The New Orleans Saints select:

MARCUS WILLIAMS, S, UTAH




The Saints need to improve their D and Williams is sure to help shore up the weak secondary that the Saints have enjoyed over the past few seasons. He could beef up a bit, but has the frame to do it, but he's a ball-hawking Safety that should be ablestart day 1.

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.

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.

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.

I was thinking 'belfry' might be more appropriate for Dave.

Well, that's two of the three picks I was waiting on out of the last 6 picks which has disappeared from the board. Just gotta get thru the next 4. Anyway, very nice pick for what I believe should become an excellent player.

Thanks - I'm surprised he was still there for me to be honest, but I really do think he will be a good player - and I only picked him to spite you because you stole Chidobe Awuzie from me in the last round BUT a backfield with Awuzie and Williams would have been fun to watch they were two guys I though would be able to slot right into the Saints D and complement each other - looks like you had a similar train of thought with Washington - I hope you get your third guy

Surprisingly no Centres picked yet

I can remember my 7th grade teacher giving me an A- on my book report for "Journey to the Centre of the Earth." She took off points because I spelled "centre" the same way they spelled it in the book. I was pissed and to even things out (karma wise), I'm giving you the A+ that should have been my grade. HAH, take that Mrs. Carmichael! :yay:

Yes, I just woke up light headed and still suffering from that disease you gave me Shaun.

If it's any consolation I'm still suffering here too - it seems to affecting my balance and vision now - I should just go to bed and let it run its course - my wife's really pleased, I've been kind enough to share it with her too!

With the 76th pick of the ROD draft, The New Orleans Saints select:

MARCUS WILLIAMS, S, UTAH




The Saints need to improve their D and Williams is sure to help shore up the weak secondary that the Saints have enjoyed over the past few seasons. He could beef up a bit, but has the frame to do it, but he's a ball-hawking Safety that should be ablestart day 1.

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.

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.

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.

Great Pick Shaunpinney!! He's the highest rated FS left on the Board and with;
* a 43.5 Vert.
* a 129.0 Broad jump
* 4.20 short shuttle
* 6.85 3-cone drill
* 11.26 long shuttle
* and a FS Best SPARQ score of 133.5 He's going to do real well in the NFL!!
