We're going with Williams. Not enough trade value there.

Sad. Should've been Okung

Wow, he sounds stupid in his interview with Suzy. Awkward.

thanks Mr. Negative.

I'm happy with this pick because he's more athletic than Okung and has a higher upside. Okung is very good in his own right but there is a limit to what he can do.

I agree that Okung is slow, but this guy has bad feet. At least Okung will be a pass block beast if he isn't a mobile blocker. I can't guarantee this guy can play LT in the NFL.

Come on dude. He is probably nervous as hell and is not very good at interviews. As long as he balls on Sunday that is all that matters.

I didn't like how he was chewing gum...

I thought Chris Samuels was supposed to do the whole reading the draft pick....

We're all about getting guys who are good in space. That's all I care about and Shanny to a reach in Clady and he's done pretty well.

I say if he fits Shanny's scheme, then it was the right pick. I like what this administration is doing with our team so far. Williams is athletic and our coaches will will extract whatever he has out of him.

I am guessing all of the trades we are going to do will come tomorrow or Saturday.....although it's been said that if the Titans were going to pull the trigger, they would so it before their 1st round pick......we'll see....exciting!

Yeah, I agree. Shanny will demand the best out of him.

Okung going to Seattle

Little disappointed, I thought Okung was a better choice. I hope I'm wrong..If so, won't be the first time or the last. Mr. Williams congrats, keep McNabb upright!!!!

there's only one thing to say "celebrate, enjoy, get ready to get to work."

Sorry, Okung has more upside. He is also MUCH stronger, as Williams only managed 23 reps at the combine. Okung also doesnt have work ethic concerns. Williams is a fine player, but Okung is the better player and would be ready to start Day 1, Trent Williams wont.

Actually, consensus is that Williams has more upside. Okung is more ready for the NFL, but the feeling is that Williams has greater potential.

As evident by the way Shanny runs his ship, I don't think William's work ethic is going to be much of an issue. I have o believe that the man who churns out offensive linemen and running backs can make the most out of a top prospect in this year's draft.

Yes, and Williams can get stronger. A player cannot get more athletic.

That's not what Kiper and Gruden just said.

Hey - that's ok. I'll take leverage and speed over power and I think that's better suited for this offense. I'm taking a wait and see approach but I'm very happy that we addressed an area of need.

I don't know how these people pick up steam out of nowhere, when they are TERRIBLE on tape. He ran a 4.8, congratulations. He jumped really high. What percentage of the time is a lineman Jumping or running in a straight line?

He must not have looked that bad if Shanny feels he can work with him. Linemen are not sexy either way. Everyone thought Gallery was going to be a stud a few years back and he didn't turn out that well. I will give Williams the benefit of the doubt.

To be fair, a good vertical jump and 40 time would indicate a pretty quick and explosive player.
