I mean a DB was urgently needed and everyone knows that BB has a legendary streak of picking one potential HOF DB in the 2nd round after another.
Wheatley, D. Butler, P. Chung, Tavon Wilson, Duke Dawson, Jordan Richards, Cyrus Jones
Ps: I know it's way too early to judge Williams but honestly look at that list. It's borderline comical
Butler and Chung were played out of position which resulted in their poor play. Butler was a decent slot CB when he left and Chung excelled playing SS as apposed to FS in his initial stint in NE.
He was good enough to start with Indy and I saw a few occassions he made plays for them.Butler's time in Indianapolis also gets overrated. As a speed guy on the carpet, he was able to play at the NFL level, as long as he wasn't picked on by opponents. As an overall player, he was a bust. He washed out of Carolina faster than he washed out of New England.

I'll never know why it didn't work out for him with BB
This. NE tried to make him into a eventual #1 CB and he failed miserably. See the 2010 playoff game vs the Jets. That was brutal.Because New England didn't run a Butler-favorable scheme, on the carpet, with Butler covering slot receivers and playing some safety to cover his weaknesses.
Do we even know what Williams had in the car? The charges mentioned didn't seem that serious.
Yes, because we certainly couldn't have used a rookie wideout that had over 1,000 yards receiving for the year. A player like that wouldn't have made any difference at all for this squad.So glad we drafted him over AJ Brown. Brilliant!
I haven't seen anyone mention this on here, in any thread that pertained to our woeful drafting as of late. BB usually gets all the blame, and while I do think he has to shoulder some of it, why has no one called out our scouting department?
For me, at least, it's because, as has been reported on numerous occasions:
- BB uses round 2 as his gamble round
- BB has, on more than one occasion, chosen to overrule his personnel staff a/k/a scouts & more, so we don't know for sure whether a particular pick is about the scouts or BB
I think JoeJuan has natural abilities and you can't coach height not ready to give up on him.
TY LAW and Duron Harmon also got busted with drugs.
