Quote:Wisconsin wasn't producing great DEs in the few years before Watt was drafted, LSU hasn't had very good WRs come out in the past decade but had 2 very good rookies last year. The past, is just that, the past.

 

What don't you like about his game?

 

Inconsistent. He's a feast or famine type player which scares me away from him. Is it because he takes plays off, etc? Does he not have a motor? Watt is renowned for his insane high motor, non-stop movememnt, and just pure drive and will. He was a walk-on at Wisconsin and had to progressively work his way up the ranks, transition his body, and put on the weight. That guy is unique.

 

With that said. I don't see that in Williams. He's 6-5, 300 pounds. He's more of a LE in a 4 - 3 scheme and he's more suited against the run. I just don't see him being a consistent pass rusher off the edge at this level. If this team needs a pass rusher. I'd say just wait until RD2 or RD3 and start looking at guys like Kikaha out of Washington or Orchard out of Utah who are both coming off of monster seasons with more upside in the pass rushing department.

 

IMHO, this team mostly struggled on offense last year, not defense, and especially not in the trenches. Take the best available offensive player on the board or trade down.
