However, if Lawson is not there, there's NO REASON to throw picks at the d-line just because we think we need a better pass rush. A stud like Jimmy Williams in the backfield is a much better use of that pick.

I endorse that line of thinking because we still fill a need, with a player of value. That being said, I think we have more of a shot of Lawson being there, than Williams. CBs, that are 6'2", 213 lbs, that can run a 4.4 40 yard dash, who kicked ass at the collegiate level don't grow on trees. I think Williams easily goes in the top 15.
