Sylvester Williams

I must admit I get nervous with Drafting DT in the 1st round after the whole Marcus Spears time here in Dallas. Does this kid remind you of him at all? For me I don't always see the hustle from him like you do Richardson, Williams has a nice reaction time with a decent spin move but I just don't know if he can consistently push the pocket? Am I missing something?

No, doesn't remind me of Spears at all.

He'll be 25 in November.

Let some other team who's one player away draft him.

He'll be 25 in November.

Yep.

I'd take him in the 2nd but not at 18.

I'm seeing a lot of Cowboys fans mock him at 18. Fuck that. DTs bust rate is high anyway. Why draft one that high who is marked as inconsistent?

I like his quickness off the snap and the swim move is decent but I don't see a lot of other moves with him. Just not first round worthy in my eyes. Rumored workouts were good but that doesn't sell as much to me as watching him play.

Wouldn't mind Williams at all. And the age thing doesn't matter to me because the average career of an NFL player is 3.3 years anyways due to injury, being cut from the team, being out played by newer players and also by being cut by the team.

Fans who think Ratliff's still playing at a high level are delusional. He's no longer playing at an all pro level, we need his replacement soon. I'd even take Richardson if he's there at 18 if we didn't go Warmack, Cooper, or Fluker.

I don't get the Spears comparison at all.

I actually like Williams at 18 a lot more than many of the other names associated with us.

Also don't get why the age thing is such a big deal. We can get 8 good years out of him... which isn't bad for a mid first rounder.

Correct.
DTs have a very high bust rate.

Always a sound strategy when drafting 1st rounders.

i saw this clip and then watched the senior bowl footage. I just don't see it with him, especially at 18
