    I guess you mean McCluster and Oher. I don't really think of 2nd contract guys like that. I'd like to think that the Titans scouted them off their several years of pro work and not what they did in college 5-10 years ago.

    I agree with the comparison, but Williams played in a 4-3 as a DT with the Vikings. How impactful would he have been as a 3-4 DE?

    I still have concerns about Williams and his fit as a 3-4 DE. Does he solve our pass rush issues? I don't think so. What we really need is the attacking guys on the edge. Williams also gets compared to Seymour who had a tremendous career, but was not the sack monster that we need. He only had more than 6 sacks twice in his career.

    Watt is the rare cat that has been able to be the major disrupter playing the DT position in the 3-4 and Williams doesn't even sniff his explosiveness.

    He sure does help a lot though, maybe not solve them, but the guy draws double teams. If we have Williams on the right and Casey on the left, who do you shift the protection towards? Exactly.

    Williams and Casey win their battles/draw attention, Morgan keeps defenses honest, and the opposite OLB will rack up sacks.

    ...and he is active against the run.

    I do not want Morgan on this team. He's not bad, but he's very average and always will be. Plus, I think he'll for some reason get overpaid.

    If we want a run-stopping OLB, give me Jabaal Sheard, who has expeirence with Horton already.

    You don't think Sheard or whoever else is desirable in free agency is going to be overpaid? If you don't want to overpay, you better draft darn well... every year.

    Morgan over Jabaal Sheard all day, everyone cracks jokes about Morgan being slow, theyd hang Jabaal Sheard for his "nowhere close enough sacks"

    At least Morgan gets pressure.

    That's why I want to trade back.. we need a ton of picks to build up through the draft. That's how successful NFL teams are made, the draft... not free agency.

    So let Morgan go and start 2 rookie OLB's?
