There will always be a Justin Miller, Corey Webster or Fabian Wahington (4.25 40-time) in the second round at CB.... we need a middle linebacker and I'm SURE Williams knows that!!
Johnson is definitely the prototype OLB...a fast pass rush guy, who is relatively small (6-2 230). Definitely a NOT a run stuffer. Plus I hate what Im hearing about him running around blocks and not taking the most direct route to the play. Thats definitely not the trait I want in my MLB!
