DRAFT PROJECTION: Top-5 pick

“Quinnen Williams is the best defensive tackle prospect I’ve studied since Aaron Donald. He is an elite-level run defender and pass rusher who wins with overwhelming power, flawless technique and surprising quickness. Williams is an absolute game-wrecker who demands double teams on almost every snap. His rare combination of technique, power and athleticism gives him an All-Pro ceiling.” – Dan Wussow
