Grading System

D.J. WILLIAMS

Position: OLB Class: Sr School: Miami (FL) Conference: Big East Ht., Wt.: 6'0½, 250 40 Time: 4.53 Grade: 4.34 Selected by Denver Broncos Round 1, pick 17 (17 overall)

BIO: Former fullback that's been a three-year starter for the Hurricane defense. Senior totals included 82/8/6 after junior numbers of 108/16/4. Has never intercepted a pass in college. POSITIVES: Strong, run-defending linebacker and a dominant force in the box. Aggressive in all aspects, easily defeats blocks from bigger lineman and strong at the point. Scrapes laterally, immediately alters his angle of attack and rarely off his feet. Displays speed to the flanks, always willing to stick his head in a pile and into an intimidating defender. NEGATIVES: Improved his ability to diagnose as a senior but still not efficient, takes false steps or guesses wrong. Commits to a move and gets caught out of position. Stiff in pass coverage and taken off the field on certain third-down situations. ANALYSIS: A terrific athlete that holds a lot of upside for the next level, Williams is more brawn than brain to this point. Must be put in the system that minimizes his mental responsibilities yet takes advantage of his physical skills. He'll impress as a rookie with bone-crunching hits but expect a few blown assignments.
