Arizona Cardinals Select DT Dan Williams 26th Overall

One of the few teams in this pick range that did not trade up or down, the Arizona Cardinals stood pat and got a great value at 26 when they selected defensive tackle from Tennessee, Dan Williams.

Williams immediately fills a pressing need for the Cardinals by providing them with a big, run-stuffing defensive tackle.

With the hybrid 3-4 and 4-3 that the Cardinals run, Williams’ versatility allows him to play defensive tackle in the 4-3, despite weighing in at 330-pounds.

Williams carries his weight very well, but he is still a load and is able to be a force if placed in the 3-4 that Arizona also runs. He will have every opportunity to make a difference for the Cardinals in 2010, and could work his way into the starting role.
