Josh Holsey played well against Mike Williams - this game is what drew the Redskins to Holsey according to Jay Gruden.

As shown above. It's worth the flier

Agreed. When you shut down a top ten WR, you are definitely worth a 7th.
Especially when the biggest playing criticism is his height - and Williams is arguably the best big WR in the nation. Honestly, if the knees hold up (2013 and 205 ACL tears), he's a steal from Auburn with a chip on his shoulder. Skins needed a slot CB, so he's got a great chance of making the team. WR's don't make plays against him - that's usually a sign that he's good.
