Again, i'm new to the NFL so my question is Williams that good to warrant a first and second? Also even if we do offer it, does it move the needle for this team whose preparation looks like shitty.
Based on age and injury history? No, not worth both of those picks. But is he worth a high pick? Probably.
For me, it's less about the effect he'd have on the actual O-Line performance and more about what it would do for Baker's psyche.
Let's not mince words - the line has sucked... But let's also acknowledge that Baker is playing scared, even looking shell shocked at times. He's being hit and forced from the pocket far too frequently but he's also breaking clean pockets, rushing throws, overthrowing receivers, and missing reads.
To
me, this looks to be just as much a mental hurdle for Baker as it is tangible play by the O-line. He doesn't trust the line even when the protection holds and his mechanics have completely disappeared in those situations.
They need to go back to basics, work on his mechanics, while also addressing the O-line personnel. They need to tackle
both problems or this will not be fixed. They need to do so before we invite irreversible damage to Baker's mechanics, psyche, and awareness.
We know he has the skills, vision, and accuracy to play at this level but we also know that those traits can be fleeting for a QB if coaching and protection are neglected.
