Cardinals' Chad Williams: Headed to Arizona

The Cardinals selected Williams in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 98th overall.

Analysis:

Williams (6-foot-1, 207 pounds) is a surprising pick this early after he wasn't invited to the Combine, but he looks like a solid pick for Arizona. He was timed at 4.43 seconds in the 40 at the Grambling pro day, and he was extremely productive on the field, catching 90 passes for 1,337 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2016. He's unlikely to earn snaps at the expense of Larry Fitzgerald, John Brown, or J.J. Nelson this year, but Williams could be in the starting conversation in a couple years.
