Notre Dame defensive tackle Ian Williams talked with team officials over the weekend. "It was cool, really cool," Williams said. "We talked a lot about football and off the field stuff. Hopefully one day I can play with them."

Williams is projected as a fourth-round pick and Scouts Inc. has him ranked 16th at his position. Josh Brent and Sean Lissemore can back Ratliff up at his spot. But looking at Williams is interesting for a number of reasons. He's a run stopper and has played in the 3-4 and 4-3 schemes.

The Cowboys also have scheduled a talk with Baylor defensive tackle Phil Taylor, who said Sunday he's comfortable playing the nose tackle position as well.

I dont want Taylor at 9, but he wont be there at 41.

I wouldn't want him at #9 either (or in the 1st round for that matter). I do think there is a chance that he's there at #41 though.

I like Ian Williams. For anyone that still has the Senior Bowl on DVR, check out the game again and keep an eye on Williams...very active player.

He has good size. Stopping the run seems to be his strength. If we could land him in the mid or late rounds, that would be ideal.
