If a 20 year scout clocks him at 4.5 and another one clocks him at a 4.55 the team is going with their guy of 20 years who says he is a 4.5 guy. There are teams who hand time the combine then hand time pro days and see no difference, that is one way they like to compare the preparation to see how serious they took each event or if they improved from one to another.

I stand by what I said, Williams is plenty fast to separate and play as a #1 in the NFL. I am not even saying he is a fit in Cincy, but he is good enough to be.

And I still stand by what many scouting reports have said and what I've seen from watching videos of him. He won't have an easy time separating vertically on the field. Williams wins via jump balls and using his size to create a large catch radius. Simply put, he's a big possession receiver.

Here is a good breakdown of Williams vs Davis.

Specifically, Davis is a faster WR with much better route running. Williams is a clunky WR that wins purely with his size and leaping ability. 
I think Corey Davis is more similar to AJ Green than Williams.
Joe Goodberry tweeted that the reason AJ Green is so special is not because he's big with ball skills. It's because of his agility, flexibility, and route running as a bigger WR.

If Williams is the type of WR you think would help this team the most, that's your opinion. I think this team needs more speed (faster than Williams), and a WR like that will be more beneficial to this team overall.
