Leonard Williams or move back in the draft?

Orakpo, Morgan and 33 sounds good and maybe another OLB in 4/5 round.

33 is gonna be a great choice, I like orchard but there could be good cb options there as well.

I'd assume Worilds will be someone we pursue given his connection to LeBeau. The Steelers cap situation is pretty bad. I doubt they can tag him again. I think he's a goner there.

This kid really gets me thinking.   Sets the edge pretty well.  Nice strength, and has a very quick step.  

 

He's projected around pick #37.  This could be a great draft to trade back in.  Titans could possibly trade back in rounds 1 and 2 with the Jets.  Jets may want a QB, and Tennessee could get Shelton with the Jets pick in round 1.  Then trade back with them again in round two, netting another later round pick.  

If they traded up in round 1 we would most likely already have their round two.

Worilds just doesn't make sense to me. He's either a more expensive replacement for Morgan, and isn't an upgrade, or he's a subpar weakside guy opposite Morgan. We need to re-sign Morgan & get a stud pass rusher on the weakside

Although OLB is the most likely choice at the 2nd round spot, you can't go into the draft HAVING to draft one there. 

I agree with this but if you resign morgan and then get another serviceable player in free agency then you can wait if you have to.  Personally I think there is just too much of a need and too much talent at that spot this year to wait past the third though.

Good point. Hopefully getting Shelton round one, then a combo of O-diggy and maybe Kendricks/Maxx Williams with #33 and #37.

If we trade down Id love to nab Shelton, kid is a monster. 6'2 almost 350 & can move. Dominant NT's are rare, very tough to find.

It really does depend on the trade offer. It looks like most are fixated on Mariota as the trade bait for #2. What if Leonard Williams is the trade bait .... Or whoever some team covets and thinks they could lose before they pick? I wouldn't trade with the Jags, but if Oakland, Washington or anybody else besides Jets or Browns comes calling with the right offer, what do we care who they pick.

I'd be excited to get Williams, but Ruston would be stupid to pass up a block-buster offer .... Oh Wait! ...
