Why hasn't Jesse Williams been drafted?

[Jamos]

The NFL draft has had a lot of people scratching their heads at some of the selections that have been made and there's one that has me wondering why he hasn't been drafted. I thought Jesse would go no later than the third round but that's been proven wrong and it has me wondering what has happened. I know he backed off of his weight lifting performance in the combine, could there be a physical problem that has popped it's ugly head up that is affecting his not being chosen?

Maybe today will be a better day and he will go early in the 4th round, I've got my fingers crossed.

I am befuddled, as well. His named is hardly being mentioned outside of the graphic showing him as the 7th best available on Kiper's list. I thought Barrett would have gone by the 3rd round, also. Oh well, somebody will come away with a couple of good steals.

I think Jesse is considered too one-dimensional, he's a run stopper. Cody was drafted in the first round for Baltimore and now he is the backup due to his lack of a pass rush. I  have no idea why Barrett Jones is still available. Maybe if he had played one position his entire college career, he would have been drafted by now. I think teams are making a mistake in not selecting him at center or even guard. I think both Lester & Jones are a big steal in the 4th round, now.

Jesse is considered raw.  He's been playing football for about a 1/3 of the time a lot of the guys in the draft have been.

He does have a lot of physical ability and obviously a good work ethic though.  He'll make it.

I'm pretty sure the 3rd thru 7th rounds are today.

Jessie, and Barrett will be picked up today, and will be great contributors to the Franchises that choose them.

I think Robert Lester will be picked up sometime today as well.

I think Jesse is more versatile than Cody, there is talk of him playing D tackle.  But yeah, he hasn't been playing football as long as most of the guys.

I was just watching and it looks as if they are waiting to get these players a chocolate chip cookie price. RTR!

Nico to KC 2nd pick of 4th round. Barrett to St Louis 16th pick. Jesse still waiting.

Big drop off each round monetarily.  The little things that CNS emphasizes translates into zeros on pro contracts. JW hasn't been anything other than the kind of kid Coach Saban would like to see in all recruits. Good work ethic, team concept driven, never a hint of disciplinary problems. But again the little things, the Kiss concert stuff and cartoons caught my attention, coupled with him playing catch-up on years of American football experience.

Jesse Williams to Seattle-- 139 (5th) --

Congrats Jesse. You go make that money and show them how to play defense. RTR!

Jesse Williams to Seattle-- 139 (5th) --

This could be a great fit for him and it's a lot closer to home than if he had signed with some team on the East coast. Seattle is one of those teams that has been trying to get back into the championship mix so I'm excited he's going there and possibly jump right into a playing role.

I'm relieved to see him picked up. I was beginning to think he had an injury we weren't aware of. Congrats to Jesse for going to a west coast team. I know that will please Kuiyam. Seattle is making some real strides with strategic picks over the last couple of years. They just made a wise pick with Jesse. I am now a Seattle fan, even if Pete Carroll is their head coach.
