What college PLAYMAKER do you want the most?

[Whatever]

Williams is an intriguing prospect, to be sure.  If he can play SLB, he could kill two birds with one stone by adding some desperately needed talent to the LB corps and helping the pass rush.  The gun charge probably makes him too much of a risk at #8, though.

Takk McKinley is a similar type of player.  He perhaps doesn't have quite the first Williams does, but he has great closing speed.  UCLA will line him up at MIKE and let him blitz on occasion, and it creates a lot of chaos.
