This 6'4 320 pound man child from Australia is the center piece to one of the nations top defenses.

Williams has shown major upside, and the potential to be a game changing NT at the next level. He's everything you want out of a traditional nose tackle. Aggressive, Holds his gap, penetrates, collapses the pocket, high motor, and plays with a mean streak.

If we continue to win (like I hope we do) this kid could be one of our biggest targets as he will rise to the top 15 by April.

Ever hear of Marcel Dareus?

Well, duh. Was not a diss to your thread, just an honest observation. Mark Baron, Hightower, Dareus and many others play okay, but just don't seem to dominate. That was my only point. T Richardson has a ways to go also.

In fact, I was one that wanted to trade down with number 1 pick a couple seasons ago and take Dareus. I am not an Alabama hater or anything.

Dareus is an absolute force for the Bills defense.

I would take him over any of our DTs. Matter fact, that's where Edwards came from. Riding the line behind Dareus.

And are you kidding me? Mark Barron is probably te best young defensive back in the league.

Mark Barron's coverage skills leave something to be desired. Bucs are last in the league in passing. His run coverage is good. Far from the best young defensive back.

Might be a reason he's a SS and not a FS.

Alabama players are some of the best coached in the nation who have excelled against the best competition. They also come from a culture of winning and high expectations.

Fug no!He has bust written all over him,he benches 600 that doesn't mean anything.He will be this year's Poe.He will impress at the combine and suck in the NFL.

What do you know about talent evaluation? Did you even watch any tape?

This kid has loads of potential and a great attitude for the game. Poe played against terrible competition and didn't even really have good stats. Jesse plays in the SEC and dominates.

      My one and only mock draft

      By ECHornet · Posted

      Walker/Stewart>Mykel on EDGE for me I’d still like to add TMac.    The only two WRs we have contracted beyond this year are XL and Coker (ERFA). Moving forward with TMac and those two feels much better.

      keaton is a former Catamount.  The list I saw had only 2--Sanker and Emmanwori.  But I do recall hearing about Bowman. The theory that we are looking for specific hybrid safeties is upheld by this.  Keaton fits the "type" who can play zone or deep and in the box.  "He's a physical player with a high motor and a nose for the football. He has a good understanding of zone coverage and can play in the box as a force defender. Keaton is a leader and has earned a single-digit jersey number at Temple, a tradition reserved for team leaders." At WCU, he averaged 6.5 tackles per game, leading the team before transferring. Sanker has special teams abilities and a high football IQ.  He can cover TEs and RBs and keeps the play in front.  He would be a nice fit as a depth player.  I did not know they met with Bowman at the SR bowl.  He is more of a free safety who struggles in tackling/run support, but that is not to say he is not versatile within his capabilities. Stark is a SS who is a brutal hitter, but I don't see his hybrid qualities--they met with him at the Combine when everyone was in the building, but that was nearly 2 months ago and I don't think there has been contact since. Emmanwori is who they would love to have in my opinion.  NFL Draft Buzz:  "His ability to play in the box, handle man coverage responsibilities, and deliver bone-crushing hits makes him an ideal fit for defenses that ask their safeties to wear multiple hats." So it seems they are looking for a type.  The Keaton pick is intriguing to me because he is a sleeper who would clearly be there in round 5 or later.  They seem attracted to his characteristics, and he is a thumper who can play deep.  To me, the fact that they want 2 hybrid safeties of a certain type is rather obvious.  Maybe I am forcing a round peg into a square hole, but I love trying to see what skillsets teams value to guess draft picks.
