Greedy Williams
-
Nobody in the NFL runs "one" coverage, ever..
In any 3-down sequence, you could have.. one play cover zero, one play pattern-match on half the field and man with no help the other half, and one play quarters.
A player who's good at man will likely also be good at zone but vice versa is not always true.
Greedy is good at both.. he's a first-team All American who led the SEC in picks for a reason.
Great pick, well worth moving up 3 picks to snag. He's PFF's top-rated cover CB.
Now if only the rumors are true about Darron Lee so crossing routes won't be open 100% of the time this season..

Deion is who I thought of, and told Canton Mike about it.
He is an outstanding shut down cb. and not small.
and blazing tenacious and fast. 4.3 something.
Amazing he was still there.

Seems like I saw this round table that mentioned him in relation to his very small amount of tackles. Wasn't paying attention because I didn't think he was going to be a brown. Anybody else?

from watching video of him - teams regretted it when they DID throw to his side.

Adam Schefter says during the conference call Greedy Williams says the Browns are going to the Super Bowl.

Many had him as the top CB in the draft. Amazing value mid 2nd round. There's our defense. We need a LB or two for competition, but we are ready to boogie.

I love both picks - it took some research on the Takitaki lb pick, but I'm good. They got it right.
and for Greedy to fall?
hell yes, go man to man all day long.

At 6-foot-2, Williams boasts rare, instinctive cover skills that had him projected as a first-round pick in most mock drafts. Browns general manager John Dorsey said Friday he was surprised Williams was still available at No. 46.
"I thought he'd be one of the first five guys picked off the board (in the second round)," Dorsey said.
The deal required the Browns to move up three picks, trading Nos. 49 and 144 to Indianapolis for their selection, No. 46. The No. 144 pick was acquired in the Browns' trade of running back Carlos Hyde to Jacksonville early in the 2018 season.

Greedy’s mom pushed a laundry buggy thru streets of the projects, took a bus to a job at Holiday Inn paying her $180 a week & the family’s low-income home was in such shape that rent was as little as $8 a month.

WOW.
On Williams’ best attributes, including ability to track the football:
Dorsey: “One of the coaches at LSU said he is one of the most gifted corners ever to come through LSU. That speaks volumes. What is that? That is a learned trait from a young age. That is an instinctive trait and following from the eyes. He has played the position to the point where he has a nice intuitive feel about the game of football.”

Sherman became a somewhat better run stopper as his career progressed, didn't he? Yes it's a current deficiency with Greedy but it's something that can be worked on. This just became a potentially ridiculous defense. Good god had we gotten Thomas or Berry and perhaps even Lee....the govt would come trustbusting to Cleveland. Im a little bit dizzy about it tbh. Almost like, this can't really be happening....this just doesn't happen to Cleveland.
-
"I have no problem with his tackling," Dorsey said. "He will get you down. Corners are paid to cover. The tackling aspect, just get the guy down."
Well ok then.....
-
Here's a fact. So far I don't know of any prediction he's ever made in the past that has not come true. For what it's worth. ?

Yet Vagitron claims that there are very heavy character concerns about this guy. just what are those supposed to be if you know?

We can only pray that is true given the ST player we took in Rd. 3. Otherwise the hole in the middle of the D just gets deeper and deeper.

He says a lot of things. Perhaps he's attempting to start a rumor?
I looked this morning and couldn't find any mention of these concerns. As they say on the internets, show your proof or it didn't happen..

The Great Zomboni predicted all offseason that the Browns would tab a cornerback first. But even the Great one didn't expect Greedy Williams to be on the board for us.
Major get. "Best cover corner in the draft". You need a lot of corners in the NFL now, and we should have four that are as good as anybody's four if this kid is what we (and the Browns) think he is.
I have no problem spending a 5th to move up, either, for once we have a deep roster, and more draft picks than roster spots, so we needed to use a couple picks as collateral to move up, it will probably happen today as well.
When everyone was taking linemen the first day, I knew that was great news for the CB market, but I didn't imagine getting Williams ... that's just greedy. (Sorry, everyone gets to make one lame "greedy" joke.)

While he's not a polished corner in all aspects, he doesn't have to be right away. There's talent at CB already in the locker room, Williams won't be forced to play a bigger role than he can handle to start his career.
