They changed our pick from Terrence Cody to Dan Williams in the first round. Is Dan Williams first round worthy? Walterfootball thinks so...

This is not a bad pick only because I was never sold on Terrence Cody because he is only a two-down NT. If I was a GM, I would use my first round pick on a DT who is capable of playing all downs, and Cody does not fit that role, so I can see why they have Williams ranked above Cody. I'm just need to see more tape on Williams to become more comfortable with him as a first rounder.

What does everyone else thinks about this change?

I said Dan Williams was going to be mentioned in the 1st round by the time the draft rolls around way back in the summer and that I prefer him over Cody all along......this guy is an animal...
 
Benn Will never last last until our pick in the second round! I cant believe Dez was not the first WR taken. I would rather have Spikes because the FO can find a NT in later rounds this wouldnt even be a problem if we switched to a 4-3
 
If Bryant is there with our 1st rounder and we don't take him I will be so ****ing pissed.
 
Don't know if we will take a NT in the first round. BP likes to find his later round gem and develop them. I think we will trade down and get as many picks as possible this draft, its time for the FO to fill the holes and there is plenty of depth to do it.
 
I think he's going to be a 1st rounder, and I'd love to have them. I absolutely hate players that take plays off, and, that's Cody. I've never liked the guy.

I admit never having heard of Williams, but, he seems well regarded.
 
Dan Williams being drafted ahead of Cody is not going to happen. No way.
 
I love Williams and he is better than Cody. Cody just may be the 2nd most overrated player in the draft behind Taylor Mays. 1st round worthy? Could be. Would I take him in the 1st? Probably not. I want a linebacker.
 
I think Williams is the better all around player and there is no way that he will last until the Fins pick in the second round. He can also probably move out to DE in MIA's scheme at times if Ferggie comes back next year. Dont be surprised if Cody drops to the second round although I doubt he drops all the way to MIA's pick in the second. Remember a lot of teams will be looking for a NT this year including starters for MIA, KC, and DEN, and developmental back-ups for PIT, DAL, SD, GB amongst others and even 4-3 teams are looking for similar DT's as well including CAR, TB, BUF,TEN, DET so expect the big uglies to be over drafted.
 
I still would like Rolando McClain over Cody if we go defense first. Cody is going to eat himself out of the league. I would then grab the best WR in Round 2....hopefully Golden Tate would still be on the board. Then grab a NT, or OLB/DE in Round 3 like Tyler Alualu of Cal.
 
Dan Williams is definitely a beast. I would not mind him at all.

Terrence Cody is too but there have to be questions about his weight and eating habits. The Dolphins employ pretty strict rules about that stuff. You don't want a guy that is constantly breaking your team rules to where you have to suspend him from games and whatnot. You also don't want a guy that you start relaxing your rules for.

On the other hand, Terrence Cody knocks more offensive linemen to the ground with regularity than I've probably seen in a NT at the college level. He faces a double every time he gets on the field and if he doesn't, he makes the single blocker pay. And despite his girth, he is on the field for a whole lot of snaps, and doesn't seem to wear down in the fourth quarter.
 
Overall if we came out of this draft with Dan Williams, Rejus Benn and Morgan Burnett...I would be absolutely, positively thrilled. Homerun.

Amen. I was thinking Benn then Wiliams, but now it looks like if anything it would be the other way around. I would be thrilled with a Williams/Benn combo- if Benn falls to us in the 2nd because of doubts about his senior year, that would be fantastic. Best 2nd rd fall since Henne slipped to us in the late 2nd rd. Assist credited to GB for taking that Louisville guy one pick before.

Cody arrived at Alabama at 410 pounds and is now down to 350. If anything, this proves that he can keep his weight under control if he has to.
