Ngata's best year was 2010, in which he had 46 tackles and 5.5 sacks.
Williams' best year - 2007 - 43 tackles 14 sacks.
Williams had double digit sacks in 5 seasons, with two different teams. Also seasons with 9 and 8.5 sacks...
You do realize they play two different positions and are asked to do two different things, right?
That's like saying Blair Thomas is better than Lorenzo Neal because Thomas ran for more yards.

Yeah no one should ever be drafting a RB #1 overall
The Saints drafted George Rodgers over LT

The frick you say?
That draft was awful. You could argue that Julian Edelman is a top 5-10 pick in that redraft.

But they got Rickey Jackson in round 2. Passed over a HOFer and still got a HOFer at the same position.

Take a look a Edelman’s early career. He had less than 70 career catches through his first 4 seasons.

There’s really not a way to pick one over the other definitively, IMO.
Sure there is. During their era, LT was the arguably the second most valuable position behind QB. TE was not even in the discussion.
HOF LT >>>>>HOF TE. Really not even a discussion.

Not to mention all the other guys who at least made a pro bowl or two but you pick Jamarcus Russell.
Joe Thomas had as many First Team All-Pro seasons as Jamarcus had wins as a starter (7).
Calvin Johnson and Adrian Peterson have combined for fewer turnovers (37) than JaMarcus (38). CJ/AP's combined total games: 284. JR: 31.
Good God JaMarcus sucked.

Weren't there also reports that Wentz's teammates don't like him?

Pace was basically an All Pro from his rookie year at a position much more valuable than TE
He was basically an All Pro the minute he stepped on the Ohio State campus.
He was only the second true freshman ever to start on opening day for the Buckeyes football team.
He became the first sophomore to ever win the Lombardi, and he followed that up the next season by winning the Lombardi, Outland and finishing fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting. Said former Ohio State coach John Cooper: "Orlando Pace is not only the best offensive lineman I have ever coached, but he is the best I have ever seen."
Anthony Munoz and Tony Boselli are the only ones to challenge Pace as the greatest CFB offensive lineman of all-time.

Nope, Aaron Donald is the BEST player in the League, and he plays DT. He dominates an OL from the middle. W/O him, the Rams don't sniff the NFC title game.

Rogers was a 2 time All Pro, Rookie of the Year & only 2nd to Eric Dickerson in rookie yards by a RB( 1,674 by Rogers). And the Saints pick up a poor man's LT in Jackson ( more durable version ) .
Actually a sound draft by the Saints even in hindsight.
Just seems LT could handle his coke better than George Rogers.

n his rookie year, Newton broke all-time NFL rookie records for passing and rushing yards. He became the first NFL quarterback to throw for 400 yards in his first game, shattering Peyton Manning's first-game record by 120 yards. He also broke Otto Graham's 61-year-old record for passing yards by any quarterback in an NFL debut.[4] Newton went on to become the first rookie quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.[5] He also ran for 14 touchdowns, more in a single season than any quarterback in NFL history, breaking Steve Grogan's 35-year-old record.[6]
In 2015, Newton became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for at least 30 touchdowns and rush for 10 in the same season (35 passing, 10 rushing).[7] He also became the only quarterback ever to have 300 yards passing, 5 touchdown passes, and
