Quote:I totally get what you're saying with Fowler. If we got him, I wouldn't be too upset because he does have upside.


Williams is most likely the safest and offers tremendous upside. Passing on the best player in the draft is what got us in trouble in the first place. Unless it's the QB, you should take the best player that's available. We need superstar players on this team. There are no guarantees that Marks will come back the same. Williams will make everyone around him better.

Maybe they are both great, maybe they both bust.

BUT

Is Williams going to be Suh or Marcell Dareus?

If you can without a doubt say yes, then maybe he really is the best choice at 3.

 

But if not... then Fowler has the potential to be the "next big pass rusher"

He could be our JJ Watt. He could be our Justin Houston...

JPP, Miller, Williams...... Sack monsters.

I can't say he for sure will be one of those guys... but the potential is there. With the safe pick... it's just ho-hum for me.

 

The best DT in the league last year (in terms of sacks) was Dareus. Suh, McCoy, and Aaron Donald are really good DTs but stats wise, very comparable to our own Marks.

Do we really want to use the 3rd overall pick on a DT?
