I'm not necessarily high on Tim Williams that early (strictly for off field reasons), but trading back 2 spots with Arizona is the best decision if Foster and Lattimore are both off the board.
Agree on both points. Tim Williams is being compared to Randy Gregory. That's a helluva risk to take for a first round pick.
We knew Randy Gregory wasn't tenable when we brought him in and...I can't even remember, but he said something weird or sort of stupid. Was a special kind of dumb.
If Williams is just a weed head...he's not the only one in the league. But we know of the ones who don't seem to be able to refrain or smoke around the drug testing. I mean...it's not like they don't tell everyone when every test is, right? When it comes to raw speed off the edge? Tim Williams might be faster off the edge than even Myles Garrett.
— Oklahoma's Dede Westbrook and Alabama's Tim Williams are two players with substantial background and character questions to answer at the Combine. They both passed on the Senior Bowl with injuries. Westbook's issues are well documented, but Williams' maybe not as much. I've been told alcohol abuse in the offseason leads the character concerns for Williams. His interview might determine whether he's a mid-to-late first-rounder or fighting for a Day 2 draft choice.
Lot of people thought the same about Gregory concerning off the field issues, then things continued to get worse. Very talented edge rusher just like Gregory, but I'll pass in the first round (maybe even second round).We knew Randy Gregory wasn't tenable when we brought him in and...I can't even remember, but he said something weird or sort of stupid.

They need a QB, and will likely need to jump Cleveland to get one and we can get an extra solid pick and probably get the same player we want 2 spots later.
Love the trade back, not sure on Tim Williams. He will have to interview extremely well for SP to draft him. And after Junior and all the gates he's been through, it's hard for me to imagine SP taking the risk without much due diligence.
I agree we need a rush specialist, a speed guy. But we might already have that with Kikaha or even Gwacham. I'd like to see us take a 3 down DE or a 2 down DE early. Someone like Taco or Barnett who can handle the run AND push the pocket. In today's league, offenses pass a lot on early downs.
