    Williams will draw double teams, but he's just not fast enough for me to take at 2. Overall he's probably the best DLineman, but on this team he'll get lost in the shuffle and waste away while our offense keeps limping down the field for 8 yards at a time.

    This draft is packed with fast edge rushers (guys we need), our top pick needs to be sold for more picks or we go QB at 2.

    Williams compares to Suh and Mccoy... both great players whose skill set just doesn't fit a 3-4 real well. Williams and Casey would make a tremendous duo in a 4-3, but it is a huge waste of both of their talents to put them at DE in the 3-4.

    I really think trading down and grabbing Shelton to anchor the inside of our DL might be the best move. He is getting compared to Wilfork and Ngata...that is some nice company.

    Well this all depends for me. If we sign Dan Williams, which I am hoping for, I think Williams will be a solid pick. He is very disruptive and can crash the pocket. Those three together are very solid. We really don't need him to be very explosive off the line. We have Casey and hopefully two new olb to explode off the line. He and dan Williams can crash the pocket and press through the middle. If we can have 3-4 players to cause havoc during the play, that's good. Unless we get a great trade down offer, he should be the pick. No one else is really worth it.

    I'm fine not taking Williams, so long as they go for an Impact player, and not a project. I am not sold on Gregory, I would almost rather see them take a QB than him. In a perfect world, I hope they trade back.

    I probably sound like a broken record saying this, but until we get QB squared away, bringing in any defensive talent will be a waste of time. Unless the offense can sustain drives, defense here will always suck.

    Hard to be a good defense when youre sometimes on the field 43 minutes.

    I don't get the QB talk at all. Unless you are 100% either one there is going to be better than Mett over the long all, you don't take them. I cant see anyone being 100% sure that either are better than Mett.

    I love the ebb and flow of this board.

    A month ago everyone hated Winston and loved Mariota. Now no one wants Mariota and prefers Winston of the two.

    Then for about two weeks everyone was all over Leonard Williams. Within the last 48 hours that has cooled considerably.

    I am still saying draft d players.. So this guy has been my number one pick for us since the end of the season.. But some say we need to think offence and they are right as well.. There is no wrong with what people think we should take.. Cause we need help everywhere..

    I think we need to be burning thru as many QB's as we need til we find our next franchise QB, whats the point of building up the D if our QB's now can't move the chains? Thats why Im off the Williams wagon. I mean he's damn good but hes not a QB.

    You threw a star at me when I joined that we went 3 and out 88 times this year.. That's only 5 per game... If we had a good Rb to open up our passing game it may be different.. When you have a Rb rushing for 50 yards a game that's horrible.. And if we draft a QB we need to get guys to protect him.. Just look at what happened to locker and Mett. Both hurt... and what good is a franchise QB when he's hurt in the bench? I use to think locker wasn't tuff but when mett got hurt it was a whole new eye opener.. O line and d line need to be addressed.. I say o line over QB
