Bill Simmons argues that Kyron Williams should be ranked in a higher tier than previously discussed because he is a lead back on a winning team with job security. At 25 years old, Williams was extended by the Rams, and there is no reason to expect a significant change unless Blake Corum becomes undeniably elite. Simmons contends that you would not take DeAndre Swift or David Montgomery over Williams, making him a safer, more valuable pick than the next tier of committee backs with question marks.

Kyron Williams is 25 years old. They extended him. I don't know why they would make a significant change unless Blake Corum is so undeniably good that they need to force him onto the field. And I think that's why Kyron should be the tier above, because you wouldn't take DeAndre Swift over Kyron. You wouldn't take David Montgomery over Kyron.
