I think Williams’ stock will dip quite a bit once draft season revs up. Not sure how much it changes him as a prospect, but things began to unravel at the end there this season. In his defense, the overall culture at USC under Lincoln Riley seems pretty awful right now and a lot of it probably isn’t Caleb’s fault. I’m just adding this context because draft rankings are notorious for not really updating until the season is over, and I’m positive the discourse around him will change once more people start watching this year’s film. He definitely still has the best tools, but he didn’t have the same polish other QBs showed as the year progressed.
Personally I still like the idea of taking him, but I’d want him to sit and learn a year while we still have Justin under contract.
