That means either Bosa or Allen falls to the Jets, so I'm happy. As much as we could use another Dline guy, edge rusher is far more pressing.
Unless our new HC/DC switch us to a 4-3 D alignment full time, we don't need another DL guy. Williams is at one DE spot and Anderson and Shepherd are at the other. Shepherd needs to be given an opportunity to develop. The only thing we need on the DL is a NT, and that isn't Williams. We have Pennel and could re-sign McLendon. We also have Foley Fatukasi. There may be a decent NT we can sign in FA or we can possibly draft one in a middle or lower round.
Baloney. I was NOT impressed with Williams last night. Heard his name called once or twice. NO pressure against guys who would be backups at best in the NFL, if that. Lately, Alabama OL and DL guys have been overrated. And we KNOW about their secondary.
I swear to God, when I read your post, I get a negative nervous spine tingle. We can't miss at this pick. The VG pick got overlooked because Rex took us to 2 AFCCG's. I still can't believe the bust he was. Rumour was that New England wanted him too, so I thought he was solid for sure. The whole thing seems to be that he had 1 good game against Jake Long. That's the problem when you don't play more than 1-3 games against legit competition in college. Too small a sample.
this kid is incredible, it's kinda upsetting that jets fans are completely against defensive linemen because of past experiences. if quinnen williams becomes a top 10 defensive player in the league, it shouldn't matter
I'll completely admit I'm gun shy of drafting Quinnen because of some of our past experiences. These DL guys aren't always predictable in how they'll translate into the NFL. And I also completely admit its probably not fair to Quinnen Williams and that he'll hopefully have a great career. But its hard to get some of these past failures and disappointments out of the memory bank. At this point if our draft pick isn't one of the edge rushers I think we should be taking an awfully hard look at offensive line help (my preferred pick).
I don't want this guy. Hes a good player, but I'm not using a high pick on a DT. I'm also not a fan of how he conducts himself, saying that Clemson QB was throwing 50/50 balls all game and he also said something about Murray. Comes off as a sore loser.
I didn't see the LSU game but I did see the Georgia game and for 3 quarters I didn't hear his name much. I'll see if I can re-watch the tape. I might take him 8-10 or so...but not at #3.
I'm warming up to the idea of Williams. He does seem very disruptive and hard to block. But have to admit, the thought of another top 10 pick on a D-Lineman doesn't thrill me. Better scenario is a trade down for more picks and then take best O-Line with our #1.
This is just common sense vs the definition of insanity>>>>other than grabbing Sam we have had 7/8 years of drafting Defense and how has that worked out???? All the rationalization and BS spewed by you guys how this is a must pick eg Williams is just stupid Now that you have a FQB in place you build him a solid OL and give him some weapons..old young and in between>>>that's being smart Be smart and trade down ...lmao at people thinking we get NO trade partner so then we must get that DL??? ..too funny
The only thing that bothers me about Williams is that Clemson completely neutralized Williams with the quick passing game (though Lawrence is a beast). If Josh Allen is available, I would rather take him for the ability to cover, pass rush from the outside and he is very good at deflecting passes.
Hes extremely dependent on shedding blocks w Rip/swim moves.If thise moves dont work on the next level(which they may not) is he a top 3 calibur talent? Unfortunately i dont think so.
He has great technique, but anyone comparing him to Donald is nuts at this stage. I look at Aaron Donald, the guy is far more explosive then Williams from what I can tell. Williams might be stronger, bigger with longer arms overall, but I don't see the great combination of burst, and power. Sometimes being bigger doesn't mean you are better. Personally, I don't even think Quinnen is a better prospect then Leonard Williams. I think the Donald comparisons are off.
