15. Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
Williams is coming off his redshirt freshman season, but he’s already among the top defensive backs in college football. He broke up 11 passes, intercepted six and recorded 38 tackles to lead LSU’s secondary in 2017.
22. Devin White, LB, LSU
In his year as a full-time starter, White was all over the field for defensive coordinator Dave Aranda. The Louisiana native made 133 stops (14 for a loss), recorded 4.5 sacks and anchored a run defense that ranked third in the SEC.

I would put Ed Oliver in front of White. No doubt about it. And I think White is a superstar.

Damn I wish we had gotten Ed Oliver. That kid was NFL ready as an 18 year old defensive lineman. That is nuts.

If only we had a Dline coach that could have landed him, Raekwon Davis, Phidarian Mathis or Marvin Wilson... oh well.
