[CBFF] 2008 NFL Draft Preview: Chris Williams - Associated Content

[Ross McCoy]

Does Otah fit in the category of being worthy of a mid first round pick? 
I am fairly confident he will be there, but I am not sure I would take 
him at that position. I would take Williams, Clady or Long at that spot 
in a heart beat and would only hesitate if Chris Long (DT), Dorsey or 
McFadden were still on the board. If all of those guys were gone, then I 
would prefer to trade down and pick up Alberts or Otah later in the 
first round and a second rounder, but if that isn't possible then I 
would consider Mendenhall.
