    I doubt it. Our defense would likely be improved, but we still have a very questionable secondary and playmakers on offense. Alot would depend on Mettenberger also...

    Mett really needs a full offseason and season with Whiz to even stand a chance at getting us there. Theres only 6 playoff spots and easily 7 or so better QB's in the AFC.

    I like Mett with Williams and an OLB added on D, and another WR/pounder RB that is not named Greene.

    I heard yesterday on midday 180 from Greg Cosell (no offense to you all, but his word and player knowledge carries a bit more weight for me) says that he doesn't really know what Leonard Williams is. He doesn't think that he is very explosive or a 3-tech. Sees him as a 3-4 DE, which is what we want, but not a major impact guy. Curious to why he thinks that. I have not had enough time to go through a lot of his tape yet.

    I'd be interested to see why he feels that way as well, because what I have seen, is light years ahead of Gregory. Gregory gives up on plays and gets eaten up by top notch tackles. That worries me

    Cosell is my go-to guy during draft time, Williams is best as a 3-4 end.

    Powerful guy, can beat pretty much anyone 1-on-1, if he's not double teamed he's making a play.

    If Cossell says he is not am impact guy then don't touch him at 2. If Cossell sees it then our scouts and defensive staff probably do too.

    Pretty simple, take the QB or trade out for Gregory or Shane Ray.

    WILLIAMS WILL BE ANOTHER DERRICK MORGAN.

    I agree, which is ok if we had a speedster to go with them.

    I want a fast OLB not a sorta fast DE.

    I want a guy that is going to attract constant double teams with Casey. That frees your LBs up to roam.

    Apparently Williams isn't that guy. Sounds like a standard DE to me and not worthy of the #2 pick overall.

    Another Derrick Morgan. Solid but not special.

    You don't draft that at #2. Sorry but we need somebody who is going to

    A. Make an immediate impact

    B. Generate excitement and help change the culture around this dumpster fire.
