So in retrospect after one year, how has Trent Williams done compared to the guy the draft boards had rated higher: Russel Okung?

Trent Williams
Quote:
Williams faced a lot of scrutiny his rookie season. Coaches gave him passing grades, but they're hoping for much more in the future.
He relied too much on raw talent in his first year in the league, they say. They want to see him spend more time studying his opponents, putting in work away from the field and doing the little things that will make him a better pro.
"The thing I think Trent's learned is you've got to play every down in the NFL," Kyle Shanahan said. "You can dominate a guy and if you just ease up one play, ease up two plays, then they got two sacks - and it might be a sack, fumble. I think Trent's really learned the key to the NFL is being consistent."

My gut feeling without watching much of Okung -- is that Trent has been a better choice. Any thoughts?
