(A variant on the classic "1st round pick did nothing/got hurt, so for year 2 it's like having an extra 1st round pick!" Bengals trope.)
Seriously though, one of the biggest assumptions is that Williams will come in and be a solid starting LT. I'd be fine if it were the board assuming, but with the lack of activity I think it's the staff that assumes. He may have the talent, but he is a young player that may have growing pains. We don't have time to have Burrow running for his life, no matter if we assume he "can handle it". They need to get creative with what is left on the market, see if the Raiders will take a 5th for Gabe Jackson to give stability at guard.
