I keep hearing this about various players except that they all can't go in the 1st round. For every guy that moves into the 1st round that means someone has to drop out. As far as Willis there are a ton of edge players he has to compete with so I just don't see him moving up that far.

Could be right, but he was damn productive in college so the tape will look good and there's nobody that came close to his performance at the combine.

I mean, what else could you want from the kid? Sure, there's a lot of competition among edge players but how many of them (non-Garrett Division) have a better combination of production and measurables than Willis?

It's hard to get a lot of momentum this late in the process, I'll grant you. A full 30+ picks is a long way to climb. But I have a hard time seeing what should keep Willis behind any of these guys that were considered obvious 1st rounders a month ago.

The lack of sexiness in the Big 12 is going to hurt him. Other than that he should be an early pick, I doubt he surpasses guys like Barnett and some of the SEC kids but he's going to be a solid pro.
