And no, I am not a Glenn fan.  There were games Hart outplayed him (which says a lot as bad as he was).  I was okay taking JW where we drafted him but the reality is he might actually end up at guard too.  

They may end up be a bottom 5 OL but I would argue much better shot at being a OL ranked in 15 to 20 range than bottom 5. Price healthy and no longer a rookie. Williams could end up be a back up as he learns or could beat out Glenn at LT. By your admission, he could be average and produce better than Glenn.

Hart, who knows if he improves over 2018, but he is very young so he could. As bad as he was, I have seen others struggle early on the OL only to get better. Heck, one guy we cut played TE and is now the starting LT for the Steelers. Big miss by us. I guarantee no fan was yelling for a 6'"8' former military stud who played TE and no OL experience to be given a shot as our OT.

A lot of fans (not saying you) write off guys if they don't come into the NFL and dominate within 1st 3 years. It is the NFL, hard for anyone to dominate. I hope Williams in time will dominate, but t expect in year one is kind of foolish, he will make rookie mistakes, he will get beat by a DL or a LB for a sack.
