2017 Senior Bowl: Wednesday Rumor Mill
By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell
With all the general managers, coaches and scouts in attendance for the Senior Bowl, there is a lot of chatter going around. Here are some of the highlights from the rumor mill on Day 3.
Sources say that Williams didn’t grade out as high as the Buccaneers’ Mike Evans who went with the seventh-overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, but they say he graded higher than Michael Floyd who was selected with the 13th-overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Thus, Williams could be on the bubble of the top 10, and he looks safe as a top-20 pick.
The Buccaneers, meanwhile, could use another wideout to pair with Mike Evans for Jameis Winston. After drafting Evans, general manager Jason Licht could target Williams to give Tampa Bay some twin towers on the outside. That kind of tandem is what Licht had in mind when the Buccaneers took Evans and Austin Seferian-Jenkins with his first two selections as general manager. Obviously, the latter didn’t work out, but Williams could be a tough coverage assignment being paired with another big threat like Evans. If Williams gets to the Titans’ pick at 18, or the Buccaneers’ selection at 19, he could easily hear his name called by one of these up-and-coming South teams.
