From Gil Brandt at NFL.com

Gil Brandt?Verified account @Gil_Brandt Saints really high on DB Marcus Williams after rookie camp. Overall Saints had really good draft, also signed several of 50 tryout players




I hope he can be our Darren Sharper but that seems very unrealistic for his rookie season.

He's a ballhawk and has a nose for making plays, but he is going to be a rookie and there's a big jump from PAC-12 to NFL level competition.

So, what are your expectations for his rookie season? What about after his rookie season?

He'll be a range cover guy in the back. KV and Bell mKes a nice complimentary threesome w Bush in there among 2 other camp competition guys to earn a slot

He'll drop a few easy interceptions and get burned a few times. Then we'll trade him to Philly where everyone will realize he was a pretty damn solid safety.

Oh wait...

I hope he intercepts some passes, shuts down the run, and blocks some passes, especially on 3rd down. Those plays would = Super Bowl!

He will start at Fs in week 4.. He will be da rave in the secondary...Should be ready by week 2 but u know sean payton is stubborn so expect the delay.. My opinion

Honestly, I think the kid can start right away at FS because he is smart and naturally talented. He can be what they thought Byrd was gonna be and that is a TO machine. The kid from Ohio St is more of a SS to me and will compete with Vaccaro for the job.

i feel like its sort of a trick question. I know its not though.

my hope is that he doesn't get hurt and he get as many reps as necessary.

He has great instincts, so if you simplify what he has to do, he can provide that extra half second to turn those pressures into sacks, which we apparently had a lot of last year.

The biggest thing is not giving up quick throws. We really didn't have a choice last year. We had to play a lot of zone and off coverage because of injuries. We'll be a lot more aggressive this year.

That we'll finally have a true competent FS for the first time since Jenkins. And honestly he played way closer to the LOS most of the time so probably Sharper.

Anyone expecting 9 picks and what 4 pick 6s will be disappointed but I think he's what we've been missing for awhile now.

I expect him to start at FS in our 4-2-5. I also expect him to get better as the season goes along.

If Williams is good enough...it will be Bell coming out of the game when we run our 4-3 defense. We know Vaccaro isn't coming out.
