I agree w/the overall sentiment that taking Williams was smart, but w/the caveat that it's being viewed as a good decision simply because he's a LT. I do have some fear that Okung was the better choice & he sounds like a guy that is more of a sure thing.

As always w/a top pick, they have to be motivated beyond $, cause he's gonna get a big chunk of that before he even puts all the pads on. I don't think it's fair to expect him to be that good in his first year, maybe his second. Just hope that deja vu of the bradford hit doesn't happen in the process!
