Who is the best run NT, Grant/Williams/Collins?

[Cowboyny]

Cowboys focus has to be about fixing their run defense with the resigning on Osa and adding Thomas via fa. All they have really is Mazi at the position who has been average at best as a starter. They still could go the fa route and bring back at player like Hankins or someone similar or they can look to shore it up for the future.

Who is the best run NT in this year's class?

-Kenneth Grant Michigan-many believe he is more of a big 3T with his athleticism.
-Tyleik Williams Ohio State-has anchored the Ohio State run defense in their 4 man front
-Alfred Collins Texas-is more of a two gap, traditional 3-4 NT

Williams is probably the most ready made run clogger but Grant has the higher overall upside.

Collins a tick below Williams IMO.

It is quite possible Grant goes in rd 1, Williams rd 2 and Collins in rd 3 if he lasts that long.

Would be thrilled with any of the three!

Give me Collins with the 3rd pick.

I'd say Alfred Collins if you're looking for a true widebody. That said, M. Graham, W. Nolen, D. Harmon, and T. Hamilton (who's underrated) are all exceptional run defenders that don't necessarily fit the true 1T mold.

I like Williams the best but Grant is a close second. Collins is only really talked about because he is a Longhorn.

I like Williams. Can he possibly drop to round 3?
I would not mind a trade down, pick up an extra 2nd or 3rd.
If a 3rd, the can package some of the later picks to move back up.

All these dudes will be scooped up quickly. Big men are hard to find

Not saying he’s the best, but Cam Jackson from Florida is very underrated.

6’6 328 with 34” arms and is a passable athlete that can move for a man his size. Definitely not a finished product, and a bit risky, but could be a home run if he’s motivated and coachable

Williams is the best 1T in the class IMHO. Collins and Grant aren't far behind.

no he will be lucky to get to us at 44.

I don't see Williams getting out of the top 50, matter of fact Collins could be the same.

Run stopping NT?

Tyliek Williams.

 

[Dalmations202]

Give me Tyliek Williams late round one with an extra 2nd and 4th.

I am not such a Collins fan, but IMO, he is currently better than Cam Jackson who is also about the same size. Cam might be the better developmental guy though taken in the 5th or later.

kenneth grant,michigan.

 

[reddyuta]

do not like Michigan players,we would be lucky if Williams is available at 44.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Williams is my guy after seeing him move at the combine. Very good feet and movement for a guy that big.

 

[Mr_437]

Quite sure there was a thread on this topic, but Tyleik is that guy. Cowboys draft would be a success if they got him.

I've seen this kid play in a few of the rare times I watched a little college ball. His traits remind me of a slightly lesser version of Vea.

 

[Creeper]

I have a feeling Dallas is not going to be taking a DT until the 5th round, maybe later. The HC thinks you build a team from the skill positions first so I don't expect any of the top DTs to be wearing a Dallas uniform next season. However, there are some decent DTs that might be available in the 5th round.

I haven't seen anyone say Grant is more of a 3T. To me he is a pure 1T. His comp to me is Daron Payne.

As for run defending I would say Grant is the best of the three with Williams and Collins still being very good
