Looking at the jaguars shoes they did not have a 4th round pick and may have not had a chance to trade down.  I guess they saw him at such a talent they did not want to risk a team taking him before they picked again.  I hope the whole Telvin Smith thing is overblown bs but in the case it isn't the team is going to need a difference maker and this guy looks impressive on the film.

So at least the 49ers are on the record as having liked Williams. DJ has heard from other teams (he actually has contacts, unlike Walter Fudgeballs) that they liked him too. At what point do the whiners have to shut up and give Williams a chance?

It's not really how good he ends up, it's that he probably would have been there in the 5th round. If he becomes a pro bowler, great, but the Jags may have missed out on a pro bowler in the 3rd round and still could have gotten him in the 5th.

They already said he wasn't the highest rated player on the board, he was the last LB they thought might be able to one day become a starter. They didn't take the best player, they picked for need and really reached doing that. He may eventually be worth the pick, but the Jags needed a LB and they didn't like any of the others left so they decided they had to reach in the 3rd.
