A lot of good players on that list. 30% of the players are in this year's draft. I think the league is just getting faster. When Demarcus Ware came out, not many OTs were running sub 5 second 40's. Not taking away from this chart. Speed still kills. I am optimistic about Williams based on his production in college.

With all due respect (or unless I just don't know some of the guys listed), the chart doesn't really tell much.
Ware and Miller are the standouts. The others either too young or .. blah.

On paper and take, this guy has talent just as Randy Gregory did. The real issue is will he actually be on field or will we have to give him a babysitter and deal with countless suspensions.

Our defense needed a pass rusher and an injection of speed, this kid brings both. Hopefully Quinn can clean up his run support.
Not taking away anything from Williams. His future is in front of him. But for those on the list already playing in the NFL, it seems to be as many duds as dudes.
Then again, maybe I don't recognize all the names.

The guy produced in the best power 5 conference. I think he should be good for 7 or 8 sacks a year. His red flags are major ones or he would have gone a round higher. Does he make it to a second contract is the real question.

I see more no names on that list than actual contributors.
14 guys on that list who have been in the NFL for 1+ years.

For the 56th pick, I think most teams would be happy with the results from at least 12 of the 14
Almost all of them

2--Ware and Miller are Hall of Fame level players
1--Clowney has multiple Pro Bowls and an All-Pro
1--Vic Beasley has made Pro Bowls and All-Pro
1--Brian Burns was a 2021 Pro Bowler
1-Josh Sweat was a 2021 Pro Bowler
1--Gregory is very good but lost years due to being a knucklehead
1- Montez Sweat is a very good starter. 21 sacks already thru 3 years
1--Bruce Irvin has had a long and solid, if unspectacular, career.
1--Lorenzo Carter has been a starter and is a 2nd contract guy, but nothing great
2--Oweh and Toney were just rookies last year. Oweh looks very promising with 6 sacks as rookie. Toney is tbd

The two that look like maybe they would not be worth the 56th pick are:
1-Justin Hollins has played 3 years but missed one to injury. He played in the Super Bowl for the Rams
1--Jordan Willis is only a rotational player but is on his 2nd contract
