NFL Mock Draft 2017: O.J. Howard Shines Among Picks 11-21

No. 21 Detroit Lions: LB Tim Williams


School: Alabama


Position: Linebacker/Defensive End


Class: Senior


Outlook: Williams was one of the best players on Alabama's infamous defense. The Lions could use an EDGE player and Williams has versatility. Williams projects as a linebacker but can also play at times on the defensive line. He is a good fit for a Lions team that is looking to rebuild a defense that was once the anchor of their team. The versatile linebacker had nine sacks during the 2016 season to follow up his 9.5 sacks in 2015. Williams' athleticism allows him to drop in coverage, but, as his numbers show, his real strength is the threat he poses to quarterbacks. Click here to see Part I of Heavy's 2017 NFL Mock Draft.
