Positives - Did you know that Boo Williams had 79 targets last season (9th best among Tight Ends), including 18 red zone targets (4th best among Tight Ends)? He’s fairly young (26 years old) and is considered one of the more athletic Tight Ends in the game.

Negatives - The Saints have two other Tight Ends on the team in Shad Meier and Ernie Conwell that will likely take away production from Williams. Although he may still get his red zone targets once again, he probably will not see a lot of yards.

Draft Strategy - The Tight Ends still available were becoming weaker and weaker and I needed a backup to Randy McMichael. Boo Williams has the talent and skill to be a big contributor on offense, but the Saints primarily utilize him as a big red zone target. In the event that the Saints have a change of plans offensively, Williams could be a big factor in the offense. I’m not banking on that, but the potential is there, hence the pick.
