Schemes more so than not make the player, that's why I was so against drafting DG in the first, Williams has the ability to put a decent LB into the right situation and utilize all his talent, I had said early on we could get a LB in the later rds. to replace Pierce, but McCune has some work to do to supplant Marshall, at least early on, Marshall may not be the ideal MLB but he has experience in our defense and should adapt much quicker than McCune, I believe Williams will make a good LB out of him, my concern about him is this, he has straight line speed but is he fluid enough to stop and cut when attempting to cover a reciever? Which is a big deal in Williams defense, it is also one of the reasons Trotter was sent packing, and this kid has a lot of similarities to Trotter, hopefully he will cover just fine, I just like to evaluate everything about a player, and I guess the biggest question is is he an instinctive football player or did he get by in college on shear athletisism? I am rooting for him though if he can play like his body say's he can he will be a monster.
