It's easy, and only takes a few moments.He's been my top "realistic" draft prospect - along with Dion Jordan and more recently Tank Carradine - for months. He's rawer than Star Lotulelei and Johnathan Hankins but just as athletic and stronger than either. He can play 3-4 NT, 4-3 DT, 3-4 DE and probably 4-3 LDE in the Red Bryant mold. He won't rush the passer, but he'll do everything else, he has experience in Nick Saban's system, and he should get better. His lack of finish, concussion history, and the depth at DT will hopefully keep him within range.
is williams really that versatile? if he is i want him, hes underrated as a passrusher
As passrushing DT i think you should look toward Sharrif Floyd as some of us already are, guestion is him vs the run.
Right now i think Sharrif Floyd is the DT i want most, specially if he can add 15-20 lbs more. Without a doubt more versatile then the others. Floyd is one of the most athletic defensive tackles to come out this draft, and most explosive.
As sayed, only question is the running game... But i'm thinking, him on "kyle love" spot with Vince ( NT ) next to him to take double teams, bet that would make holes and Floyd do have the penetration to make plays. Biggest problem ( if you can say that, is lack of DE's on Gators team, so he's used there now, but he should be inside ofcause ) so we can't see him as a run stopper, but at the same time that could keep hes draft spot down. He's young, Big Vince can take a year or 2 more, Floyd can use the time to grain bulk - Afterall worst case is a 3 down DT, since hes great at rushing the QB, BUT then we still missing a NT thing.
Floyd could be used as LDE on rushing downs (Floyd-Wilfork-Love-Jones) and then shift inside on passing downs (Ninkovich-Wilfork-Floyd-Jones). This of course assumes we don't pick up someone like Carradine for the LDE spot.
Wasn't thinking about haveing him out there all the time, he can do it yes, but was thinking him in the middle instead of love. Then Love could take some of the play time from Vince aswell - Still want a LDE.. Could be Ziggy :rocker:
I think Love's too good to take off the field too much. As for Ziggy, I actually see him getting good reps on the inside - he plays NT at times for BYU
floyd is not a pass rusher in my personal opinion. and i do not think he is explosive or quick enough to play DE
The guy we are describing but not naming is D. Taylor of SC. 6'5" and 270LBS. Able to play the run and pass the rusher and drop into coverage.
This is the guy we need opposite Jones.

taylor is not the answer my friend.(in my opinion)
people are complaining about dion jordan's hand usage, this guy isnt much better. and i disagree with the coverage thing. hes tight in the hips. i think he would be abused in the pro level. Hes a hard worker, but i dont think he has the skill set

i will continue to insist that dion jordan is the guy ( if he can get to 260-265), can be a lethal pass rsuher on 1st and 2nd town and shut down a tight end on 3rd
I see Jordan as more of an Aldon Smith type prospect. Comes in as a rookie, only plays in the nickel, and still has a huge impact. The difference is Jordan is longer, more athletic, and 100 times better in coverage, but he's also leaner and not as filled out. He has only 3 sacks and 5 TFL so far but most don't understand he plays CB most of the time.
I really wouldn't worry about his weight. He looks more filled out than last year, and I'd fully expect that to continue. He could easily be at 255 by the combine without actually trying to add weight.
