Round 1: Greedy Williams, CB, LSU

Jacksonville selects their next shutdown cornerback. They select Greedy Williams from Louisiana State University (LSU). Williams is the new prototype of defensive back. Williams stands 6-2, weighing 185 pounds. At the NFL Combine, Williams ran the 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds. He is a big and fast cornerback.

Williams played in 24 games at LSU. He made 71 total tackles with eight interceptions. Most of all, he’s leaving college football after his redshirt sophomore season and will turn just 22 years old in December.

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com gives an overview of Williams:

"Long, athletic cornerback who is more smooth and fluid than twitchy and sudden in his coverage. Williams has the instincts and tools to play a variety of coverages, but his length and pattern-matching talent will likely get him drafted to handle press-man duties. … he is rarely ever out of position… he has the talent and traits to become a CB1."

Expect Jacksonville to groom Williams into the cornerback spot held by A.J. Bouye. Time is on the side of the Jaguars. Imagine having Ramsey and Williams as lockdown cornerbacks on the outside for the future.

The Jaguars look to fill a need in the second round. This time they will look to the offensive side of the ball.
