Trent Williams looks very good on film and in terms of combine numbers but in watching Okung you will see a guy who is flat out dominant in pass protection with numerous highlights of him literally throwing guys on running plays. That pass protection element is important as it will force the Cowboys to need someone else besides Ware to step up when they play us. Also don't forget about Osi and Cole.
Okung kept defenders about 3 or 4 yards away from the QB while Williams would stop guys but they'd be about 1 or 2 yards away from the QB. Again if you're a player you're happy with the 1 or 2 yard separation but in a toss up it's no doubt that Okung is the better player.
And finally during the great QB vs O-Line debates I never saw someone randomly type WILLIAMSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! rather it was always some guy randomly showing up typing nothing but "OKUNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!"
