Williams still looks like a major piece of the defensive front, even if the rookie stat line was quiet. He made 17 tackles in nine games and only one sack, but his length and power already showed up against the run. The next step is turning those heavy hands into more clean quarterback finishes. Opening camp on PUP is a concern after a shortened first season, so seven feels right: plenty of starter talent, but health and pass-rush production still need proof.
Strengths: Williams has rare length, a powerful base and the strength to compress the edge instead of running around blocks. He can reduce inside, control tight ends and tackles in the run game, and still has the athletic ceiling to become a much more productive rusher.
Weaknesses: His rush plan remains unfinished, and one sack in nine rookie games shows how often pressure failed to become a finish. He can play too upright, and the active/PUP designation makes durability and early-season readiness legitimate concerns.
