I’m seeing a lot of people suggest we might move Brandon Williams, I’d be fairly upset with that, free agency is over so the cap savings don’t help, the odds of any player on the board replacing his value is slim to none, and the risk of leaning entirely on madubuike, mack, and this new guy, is way too high, no matter how much I like madubuike. The run defense takes a huge step back every time Williams is out and I don’t wanna experiment with it until the guys are proven

I wouldn't like it either. The pick can only be one of three things.
1) It's purely a bone headed decision
2) We don't like Mack
3) We're gonna move BWill

far more likely that he and daylon mack are competing for the backup nose spot

Its definitely 1 and 2 but dude we’ve done enough lol there is no excuse for this reach.

maybe this is one of those guys Eric had in his back pocket and he’s better than he looks on tape

i feel today could have been better. Tyler J for instance. The guard from michigan seems solid but more likely backup quality

Yeah I think this says a lot more about how they feel about Mack than anything related to BWill. Remember Mack hardly got on the field last year and he went to "IR" with an "injury" while we signed Peko from his couch and Ellis.

he isn't a pure nose tackle. He plays over the formation and his tape shows him in platooning between Edge and DT

But here's my retort. We're trying to make a super bowl run. Improving the contribution at that position, which is likely a game day inactive neither helps us this year and likely not the future either
