If things hold to form, its likely we will be looking a few high end DL prospects come draft time. While I think Williams is the way we should go, I'd like to say dont forget about Chris Smith.

 

He's been productive when he's played (which has been sparingly) but the very very interesting thing about him are his measurables. Theres a few quantitative models that have specifically predicted the rise of JJ Watt and Jamie Collins respectively- and the only name it spit out last year was Chris Smith.

 

Its becuse of his incredible burst off the snap and at his height/weight- its extremely rare to find that kind of prospect. In that mold you're talking about Dwight Freeney. In fact, the comps are eerily similar. While Smith lacks the elite top-end speed of Freeny downfield, their burst is identical (vert/10-split/broad).

 

Give him another year to see if he pans out.
