Read rapid reactions on the Giants' fourth-round selection of Boston College running back Andre Williams. Let us know your grade of the draft so far in the comments section below.
"He had 355 touches last year for nearly 2,200 yards. But, he had no receptions and does not have natural hands; and that is why he slid a little bit. Off the field, his offensive linemen call him 'Edgar' because he's a poet and he's writing a book."
"Very strong, stocky, powerful runner with the instincts, contact balance and toughness to carry a heavy workload. Really emerged as a senior, when he led the nation in rushing, and proved worthy of a starting role."
"Not a surprise. The New York Giants crave depth at running back and love guys who (a) perform at a high level statistically in college and (b) went to Boston College. Williams led the NCAA with 2,177 rushing yards on 355 carries in 2013 and was one of the finalists for the Heisman Trophy. He's a big, downhill power back who doesn't catch the ball out of the backfield, and if he makes a contribution this year, it's likely to be as a short-yardage guy or maybe at the goal line. The Giants signed Rashad Jennings and Peyton Hillis in free agency and expect to have 2012 first-round pick David Wilson back from neck surgery to go with 2013 seventh-rounder Michael Cox."
