Quote:What exactly did they say about Williams?

-That he is a potentially great run stopper who is versatile, but an overrated pass rusher. Doesn't show the ability (or maybe effort) to chase plays, but good at blowing up plays directed at him.

-Mentioned how underwhelming he was on 3rd and long, as I have said many times was his worst down.

-CFF graded him as below average NCAA wide (includes everyone, not just among elite draft prospects) on pass rushing downs.

-Henry Anderson of Stanford showed much more pass rush skill, while holding up ok against the run, and could be taken a round later.

-They compared him to what Tyson Jackson was as a prospect, and what Cameron Jordan has been in the NFL. Not close to the Seymour or Kevin Williams (especially not the crazy Watt lite) comps. Unfortunately they didn't go to the Odrick comp, but Jordan has been my 2nd closest comp so I still agree. 

-Said top 5 would be a reach, should go in the Cameron Jordan range. I even think he should go higher than that, however. 

 

Just basically confirms what most draftniks have been saying recently, he's not a "tier of their own" non QB prospect like so many thought early on in the process. 

 

It's only an 18 minute podcast it's well worth a listen.
