Mamula is a great example too, but I wanted to try and bring out someone people hadn't said already. I just remembered Alonzo for some reason. Dude was a physical freak.

He definitely wasn't the best DE in the game and he's ascending a little too high for my tastes. I think Kiwanuka was rated higher than him. I don't think he's worth the second pick in the draft. That being said, if we were to pick him at 2, it wouldn't be the WORST thing we could do.
However the point is moot because this is all just a huge smokescreen. The FO just gave the media some bait about us wanting to pick Williams after the season ended and they ran with it. Why would they reveal who they wanted to take that early? |

The Immortal Mario Williams would be a fine pick. I have no problem with taking him. Steve McNair wasn't anything special when he came out.
