With Pick 3 GB Selects Savion Williams, WR TCU

Watching ML's post draft presser, it was about 20 minutes long and he spoke about Williams for maybe 5 minutes of that time - 25% of the pc was dedicated to this guy. Definitely had a lot of influence in this player eval, must have a vision for him.

He completely fits the O, he stood out when I was looking at 3rd/4th round WR.
 
I think if Golden and Williams look good during 1st half of the season Doubs could be put on the trade block to get a pick or a player that might help if we are taking injury hits elsewhere.

Do you - or anyone else here - have any insight into coaches role in the draft? Listening to some people talk about it, coaches of course don't have time to evaluate 300 guys but it sounds like, at least some teams will present a more condensed list of guys to coaches for them to look at and have discussions over. Hearing ML talk about Williams made me think about it, and I also wonder what role ML had in getting guys like Banks and Belton to GB. Like, did he and Gute talking about wanting to get bigger on the OL and that's how it happened? Two of the four heaviest OL drafted by Gute were drafted this year, three of the four heaviest in the last two drafts. Prior to that Gute was largely taking these really athletic, sub-310 lb guys. The HC must have a role here, did he get to watch film of Belton working out or was it sort of a general desire to getting larger up front and then Gute and the scouts make their decisions? Just curious.

Not sure if Gute ever changed it up but I know under Ted it seemed the coaches had little to no say. They could maybe suggest a name to Ted who he would watch tape on but Ted just did his own thing esp at the end with his swiss cheese brain.

That's a very loaded question, yes coaches have some insight into picks. Remember GB big board is up and working before the season ends... the staff knows their list of top prospects by position. I do think the whole get bigger thing is weird for an inside zone team.
They ran the ball well enough last year, to me pass pro is an issue...Of course, a lot of that was because our WR couldn't get open and when they did, they had a high drop rate.
It appears they are looking for an even bigger run/pass ratio to the first power, not against that but again it's all kind of odd.
