ESPN: Saints Looking at Vilma & DJ Williams!!!

To be honest, I'm starting to prefer Williams. He's a terror and he's working on his one question, instincts.

Thank heavens for the University of Miami, which has replaced Penn State as Linebacker University. The Hurricanes have a long list of successful NFL linebackers from Lewis to Michael Barrow to Dan Morgan and it's no different this year with the two best linebackers -- Jonathan Vilma and D.J. Williams -- being from Miami.


Vilma is the inside linebacker, Williams plays the outside. They've been together for four seasons. They currently share an apartment as they prepare for the draft. They have the same agent, Mitch Frankel. From the looks of the draft, they could be selected back-to-back toward the middle of the first round.


The Saints have the 18th pick in the first round and like both linebackers although Vilma probably has the edge. The Vikings pick next. While they lean toward selecting Vilma, they'd be happy to get Williams. They currently have seven linebackers under contract including middle linebacker Greg Biekert, who is expected to retire. The Vikings are scrambling to sign a restricted free agent linebacker to add the numbers at the position.


Either one would work in the Vikings defense coordinated by Ted Cottrell.

Either would make me extremely happy though!
