RB Andre Williams, Boston College -- I have always been a huge BC homer, because athletes out of BC tend to be extremely high character and well prepared for the pros. Williams, however, will be a project for any team that brings him on. Now, we are still talking about a 6'0", 227 lbs bellcow back who set records in rushing for 2,000+ yards and 16 TDs this year for the Eagles, at over 6 yards/carry. However, you're also talking about a back with ball security issues, no receiving ability, and little blocking experience. Even if you believe you can coach him out of that, you're still left with a well-rounded back without great speed. I'm always high on RBs with a nose for the end zone, however, and at the very least, you're getting a Jackie Battle here. At the very best, you're getting LaGarrette Blount.
