Quote:You must be new here...this argument was used ad nauseum with regards to why Leonard Williams shouldn't be picked even though he is a superior talent.


People like yourself clamored that with Odrick signing and Marks on the roster...why o why would we pick Williams it would be a Luxury pick.


Fast forward just 3 short off seasons...neither Marks or Odrick are on the roster and Williams looks like a stud.

 

 

Absolutely not! I actually wanted Leonard Williams in that draft. He was nothing like Odrick or Marks. Odrick lacked true pass rushing skills and Marks was a DT only. Leonard Williams would've been perfect to play the 5 technique for us. These scenarios are COMPLETELY different. Malik Jackson and Calais Campbell are proven DE/DT prospects, so I see no need to spend a first round pick on another player like them. Odrick stunk and Marks played an entirely different position than Williams, so choosing him would've made complete sense.
