PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles made another draft pick to improve their offensive line depth.
With the No. 207 pick, general manager Howie Roseman took a chance on Texas offensive tackle Cameron Williams, who is considered a big-time, developmental prospect.
Here are some scouting reports on Williams:
ESPN: “Williams is a developmental right tackle with intriguing tools. He’s big and strong enough to wall off defenders and get some push in the run game. He’s effective combo blocking to the second level and engulfs defenders in space. Williams is not that polished as a pass blocker, but his arms are long, and he is quick enough to ride speed rushers past the quarterback. During a combine interview, Williams said he played this season with an injury that caused his heel to lock up and required surgery. He was already moving well for his size, so he might move even better when fully healthy.”
Pro Football Focus: “Williams is a true “bet” of a prospect. His penalty-riddled lone year as a starter shows inexperience and inconsistency. But it also showed starting-caliber length and traits. He’s not the kind of player you plug and play, but he could be a gem to develop on Day 2.”
