2017 NFL Mock Draft: Bold Trades Reshape The AFC

Tim Williams . 9. player. 46. If opening week proved anything, it’s that the Indianapolis Colts are going to live and die in 2016 by the right arm of Andrew Luck. Their defense has been utterly gutted by a mix of injuries and poor drafting. Their best corner is nursing a bum ankle and their best pass rusher is 35-years old. This unit has no young building block they can start turning things around with. They need a dynamic talent who can flip the script. <p>An electric edge rusher is something they haven’t had since Chuck Pagano took over. A true outside linebacker who fits their 3-4 scheme like a Von Miller or Justin Houston type. Tim Williams is fast becoming the runaway favorite for that spot in the 2017 class. Some even think he’s a better pure rusher than Garrett thanks to his speed and violent hands. His light weight makes him limited in run defense at times, but give him an opportunity to cut loose and nobody escapes.</p>. OLB. Alabama
