NFL free agency 2021: Best offensive lineman available
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. San Francisco 49ers. 2. 42. OT . Trent Williams. player
What else is there to say about Trent Williams that hasn’t been said? The former Washington Football star missed an entire season after sitting out a demanding trade. He didn’t miss a beat following the move that shipped him out west.
Williams is still at 32 one of the best tackles in the games. Scheme fit, play design, other talents? All of that plays second fiddle when watching the All-Pro work. Just line him up across from an opponent and see him prosper.
According to Pro Football Focus, Williams has only graded below a 75.6 once. That would mean each of his seasons ended in a positive light in terms of production and overall protection. Yes, while he’ll be an older name on the market, Williams is playing better than most young names on the left side.
Scout the talent, not the age. Williams is a top-five tackle in the NFL still. He’s earned another pay raise, whether it comes from San Francisco or elsewhere.
