The Raiders still need a right tackle. Why not Daryl Williams?
We know the Raiders need O-line help and Daryl Williams would fit just right, but will a move happen? Williams is not an old player and has been shown to be mostly reliable. As of right now, the right side of the Raiders’ O-line has many folks nervous. All signs point to Alex Leatherwood getting another shot at right tackle; that could prove to be the smart play, or it will severely backfire.
The argument has been made that Leatherwood would be a better fit inside. If that ends up happening, picking up Williams to solidify the right tackle slot for two to three years makes sense. By no means is Williams the flashiest player available, but he’d be a solid addition.
Pros
- Fills A Need
- Reliable
- Solid Pass Blocker
Cons
- Speed/Movement
- Run Blocking Dipped In 2021
What should Las Vegas do?
What do the Raiders do — go big with OBJ or fill needs that can help right away? There are other options out there as well that could help: Kevin King, Landon Collins, and Eric Fischer, among others. What will they do? That’s the ultimate question. In previous regimes, they may have gone with Beckham and taken the risk, but if filling needs and solidifying slots is what they go for, Suh and Williams would then make more sense. We will wait and see, but we should anticipate something soon.
