In the first round they took Williams and in the 2nd Sample. My guess was that was an attempt to help out the O-line. He was never going to be a big numbers guy in the receiving game and probably never will be. Even his best season in college he only had 252 yards for 3 TDs and that was his senior year.
I also don't think he is a garbage player. He plays a role that just doesn't make the highlights. 2nd round maybe too early but what can you do? It's not his fault.
All true. Drew Sample isn't as bad as some make out. He was never going to be a pass catching TE that puts up big numbers
like you say George. He is a damn good blocker and springs our RB's for big gains at times to no credit from most of the fans.
When I bring this up it is mostly ignored though, people just hate him cause of where he was drafted.
