I said to myself today I didnt wanna see defense tonight unless Fowler or Williams fell to us. Well Williams did and he's probably the best pure talent in the draft. I watch a lot of Pac 12 football. This guy is the real deal, a disruptor of the run, a fearsome pass rusher. There's gonna be offensive talent to get tomorrow; be happy this guy fell to us And for all you who wanted White...we have no QB...we should be looking at RB and O Line tomorrow
Here is CBS Sports summary of Williams pre draft Strong, athletic and passionate, the Trojans' star is earning comparisons to everyone from Houston Texans' defensive end J.J. Watt to Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy for his ability to dominate the line of scrimmage while alternating between defensive tackle and defensive end. He's too quick for guards and too strong for tackles, wreaking havoc along the line of scrimmage against the run and pass.
In terms of talent it's an A+ pick. I know it doesn't fill a need now but it could next offseason in regards to Wilk seeing how he looks likely to be here next year.
We have no QB if Im McCags Im getting best avail RB and OL tomorrow. I do like Devin Smith, Strong, and DGB if we go that route though
Best Williams quote tonight, when asked about facing the Patriots twice a year: "I hope that he is my first sack of my career. Against Tom Brady."
He probably didn't know at the time but we don't play them until week 7. He got a lot of grief on social media for that. Hopefully he'll have 3 or 4 by then.
macag fills needs during free agency, and uses the 1st round as bpa. then in the later rounds it'll be a combination of bpa/needs. remember williams could prove to be a very valuable asset in the future if we prefer wilk + sheldon and need someone else at another position
Who would you have taken that would immediately turned us into the greatest show on turf? Winston and MM were gone, Cooper was gone, our 2 QBs suck so White would be a wasted pick...
White would not have been a wasted pick. That's just ridiculous. He would have helped make either Geno or Fitz better, and the last time I looked you draft players for more than one season.
Jerry Rice couldnt make Geno or Fitz better. Lets try and win games with our defense and our running game next season and then throw the baby out with the bathwater in 2016
I know that you don't like our QBs, but I think that's just dumb. In case you haven't been paying attention the last 6 seasons, we've already tried winning games with our D and running game and it doesn't work. I'm sick of that shit. I'd rather lose all 16 games next season than win 9 of them by a score of 6-3.
LOL damn. The dude was just trying to show that he's ready to be a Jet and to appeal to the fans and since he didn't know the details of our schedule he gets crapped on by the fans on social media. Messed up.
DGB or Strong have the potential to be just as good, if not, better than White. Who knows if White wasn't a one year wonder. If we draft DGB/Strong in round 2, and someone like Yeldon or Duke Johnson in round 3, I'll be satisfied.
