Which Player Would Your Rather Have?

[Pass2Run]

Round doesn't matter.

Your pick is up, and it's between Nakobe Dean and Sam Williams.

Who do you take and why?

 

[speedkilz88]

I'll take the guy with prototypical size, speed & 12 sacks in the SEC.

 

[Verdammung]

Dean.

 

[stilltheguru]

Williams

Based purely on game footage and measurables.
- i.e. Medical (Dean) and Character (Williams) not included.

Answer: Sam Williams
- Premium position.
- 12 sacks in the SEC.
- Better than prototype measurables.

If not for character questions, Sam Williams would have been a 1st round pick.

I wonder how deep the Cowboys dug into the sexual battery charge he once faced. The team reinstated him. But still, he had to go for the proverbial ride, which sucks, especially if he was innocent.

You have any insight on that?

Williams is the easy answer though I would have picked Travis Jones at 56

This is why I dont get the disappointment (or questioning, like Machota on The Athletic) for not taking Johnson or Karlaftis in the first. If we telegraphed any player in the draft it was Williams.

I suppose they dug as deep as they did with Micah last year.

I would pick Williams, as picking Dean appears to be an operation waiting to happen....especially if its a shoulder injury.

I believe they still employ a former FBI agent that investigates the players.

Dean is a shrimp. He will be liability vs the run.

Williams has size and great speed

This is one of the few times I'm starting to fall for our 2nd round pick. I think we might've actually gotten a steal.

For some odd reason, Dean was grossly overrated on these boards. I like his instincts and intelligence and passion, but his size and small tackle radius move him down the board for me.

My class.

1(24) Tyler Linderbaum C Iowa
2(56) Nakobe Dean LB Georgia
3(88) Daniel Faalele T Minnesota
4(129) Khalil Shakir WR Boise St.
5(155) Zyon McCollum CB Sam Houston St.
5(167) John Ridgeway DT Arkansas
5(176) Damone Clark LB LSU
5(178) Kingsley Enagbare DE South Carolina
6(193) Jamaree Salyer G Georgia

Micah can focus on pass rush, the OL is significantly upgraded, you added a phenom play making LB and the team is tougher to bully. There's not a player in that group that doesn't have potential to start in the league.

But hey, I'm no personnel guru or anything. I was one of the fools that would have drafted T.J. Watt. I didn't see the Taco fit. I trust Will McClay.

1 CB?

 

[Risen Star]

1 CB?

I offer my resignation.

 

[beware_d-ware]

I don't know what the NFL knows about Dean's medicals, and the league was scared S-less by them.

 

[kskboys]

1 CB?

Sure, cuz if I were GM, we wouldn't have drafted the criminal last year, and the CB position would already be filled!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hardline]

Dean

I would pick Williams, as picking Dean appears to be an operation waiting to happen....especially if its a shoulder injury.

I actually don't think Dean was ever really a 1st round pick. More like a 3rd, who could surprise later on.

I'm inclined to think Williams is the better player, too, when it's all said and done.

When Clark heals up, given he's not the proverbial injury waiting to happen himself, he'll be a nice addition to the defense.

The thing with Micah was a little overblown. I"m not saying he was right. He wasn't. He was really young though.
