Why is it that a player from a lesser school should have produced more against better competition and the fault is on him whereas a WR like Williams gets a pass against top competition because it's the QB's fault? Plus, Davis playing in a weaker conference means a majority of his teammates are also inferior to those bigger schools. So it's harder to get production when so much of your team is struggling. Williams plays at a top program with top talent all around him. That needs to be factored in too.
Regardless, I'd rather have John Ross over both Williams and Davis anyway.
Because the schools didn't have NFL talent either way, that is my point. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt at times but there weren't NFL guys on the field for him to get that. His QB play did lack at times, which is why I think his deep ball skill are under rated, he often had to work back to the ball. I look at the tape though and see a guy who saw little press man (saw more than Ross), and had big cushions and played in the slot a lot.
Every prospect has flaws, I am just not sure why people get so bent out of shape over this one. Lack of competition is an accepted "flaw" in the evaluation process.
I have the WR's - Williams, Davis, Ross but honestly the situation they go in to is going to be more important than the player to an extent. None of them are guys you build the offense around like Green or Jones they are guys who have to fit a roll in an offense.
