Why draft that? It's almost guaranteed that he will wander away from wisdom.
Unecessary headache.
Other than retiring he was picture perfect during his time at Utah.

He looked nothing like himself the first few games. Uninterested and distant. He came back and was an absolute monster.

This one is a good gamble. Potentially an excellent O weapon.

Outside of the first round, this may be my favorite pick.

Another player that I wanted.
Im in no position to pass judgement on this kid after something like that happening in his life. Lucky that he even still has his sanity and he has the will to live, let alone play football. I dont kmow wtf Id do if that happened to me. He earned the time to step away and deal with that. A child at 13 is ill equipped to handle that situation, has no idea how to mourn, and I can see carrying that with you till a breaking point. Worth the pick imo.

I remember that game. All game long, he was patient and turned in on when he got daylight.

John Lynch hinted that Joe Williams was off of the #49ers draft board because he quit the team at Utah. Kyle Shanahan brought him back.

His highlights really are great to watch. He has fantastic balance and is making cuts at really high speed which allows him to move less side-to-side when he jukes. His form is totally the opposite of McCaffery (which is actually good) and while he tends to keep his motion directed north-south, he has very good functional agility. Different runner but similar to Gore in the way he is elusive. Subtle but very effective.
