Things are heating up with pre draft visits

tell dean this means the skins will trade up to get him and its a no brainer

It would be great if he fell to 5. What a steal it would be.

Would be extremely hard to pass up on him if he fell to us unless we got a hell of a deal

USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams to visit Washington Redskins - Washington Redskins Blog - ESPN

Excerpt

Another factor that may push Williams to the Redskins is that he may no longer be considered the best player in the draft. Yes, that buzz is growing. Writing for Shutdown Corner on Yahoo! Sports, Greg Cosell said that “study of his game film reveals some pros and cons that need to be carefully considered and evaluated.”

Among the cons were finding a position fit in the NFL, him not being a “natural” edge pass rusher, and that there are “points to his game that need refinement.”

And consider this from Robert Klemdo on The MMQB:

The popular notion that USC defensive tackle Leonard Williams would be the second overall pick for the Titans if not Mariota doesn’t jibe with a handful of decision makers I polled. For some, Dante Fowler, the defensive end out of Florida, is the clear choice as the top defensive player. Said one high-level evaluator: “I think Fowler is the top guy. Tremendous athlete. You see him impact his guy like DeMarcus Ware, Von Miller. Williams is a good player. A top-five pick. I don’t want to say it’s a hype machine, but he’s got some tape where he just disappears and doesn’t make plays.”

Williams will be missed at USC he's an impact player if he falls to the skins it would be a steal. IMO I wouldn't be happy big cat was still on the board and the raiders passed on him

What's your thoughts on the Raiders taking a WR like Kevin White or Amari Cooper at 4?

Charles Davis and someone else at NFL Network had Williams falling to us. Their mock was as follows:

1. Tampa Bay: Winston.
2. Tennessee: Mariota.
3. Jacksonvile: Fowler (big surprise)
4. Oakland: White.
5. Redskins: Williams.

I prefer Cooper IMO he's more polished and the better wr. The raiders need a weapon now not a project. I don't see tennesee picking Mariota either though

Pretty much a consensus pick for skins fans too if he falls. Thx Clarkson

only way I pass on Williams is if another team gives us a hell of a deal

That's the only way we pass. In my opinion, Leonard Williams is the best prospect in this draft. I haven't said much about him because I once didn't think it was realistic that he'd fall to us. However, the way it is starting to look, it is quite possible. April 30th cannot come soon enough.

Agreed! He's the best player in this draft, in my opinion.

willims would be the pick if we cant work a deal
