From the episode

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.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Williams' extension and Rams' success make him a safer lead-back option than Swift or Montgomery.

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.
