I don't think we can say that at this point. I am sure BB will give Williams every chance to compete for a CB job. Butler has done nothing to justify his early selection. Arrington did a good job for us last season but I wouldn't guarentee his roster spot either.
He didn't even play CB/S at TCU, that's his listed position but he never got on the field.
I thought he played the slot?
Loved Carter's post-draft P.C. Smart as hell, well-spoken. So if we need, ya know, someone at the mic for a team function, at least we know we're covered there.
From what I've heard he was a top CB when he was at a Junior College but when he got to TCU he only played ST. If he got on the field as a CB or S I don't think he recorded any stats.

Williams had 14 solo tackles and 7 assisted tackles in 25 games at TCU. Not that tackles mean a lot.

Carter seems to have the size/athleticism to play in the NFL, but we won't know whether he can play or not until he gets on the field.
Williams, on the other hand, sounds like he's another Matt Slater and I really don't think the Pats need another guy that can only play ST, especially after Tracy White's pretty good season.
As I understand, Williams originally signed with Oklahoma (and I believe was highly recruited out of HS) but for whatever reason failed to enroll. He spent two years at a JC before transferring to TCU. There appears to be raw ability that hasn't been developed.
Both will have to make it as special teamers, and you can't rule out anybody there.
