2017 NFL Mock Draft: Big Trades Reshape Both Conferences

Tim Williams . 8. player. 46. They may have won against Chicago in week 5 but the Indianapolis Colts also watched the Bears hang 522 yards of offense on them. The biggest culprit to that was just how toothless their pass rush was. They have zero options up front that can be considered a true, viable edge rusher who can get them 10 sacks a season. The days of Dwight Freeney are long gone. If the Colts ever want to compete in the AFC again, that’s a problem they have to fix. Otherwise they’ll keep losing to better teams like Pittsburgh, Denver, and New England. <p>There are some who have cooled on Tim Williams of late, but that hasn’t stopped him from continuing to do his job. Namely sacking quarterbacks. He has 3.5 through the past four games, forced two fumbles and also returned one for a touchdown. There are some off-the-field questions but nothing too serious. Not yet anyway. Williams looks like the prototypical 3-4 outside linebacker. He’s fast, quick and agile coming off the edge. Put him on that fast turf in Lucas Oil Stadium playing with a lead? The numbers will pile up fast.</p>. OLB. Alabama
