The Arizona Cardinals selected 6’2″, 329 pound DT Dan Williams out of Tennessee with the 26th pick of the first round of the NFL Draft.  Williams is the kind of lineman the Cardinals have been looking for as they need a guy to take on blockers to open things up for the linebackers to make more plays.  Williams played in 13 games (all starts) for the Volunteers last season and he had 70 tackles, 9 tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks and he recovered 1 fumble.  In four years with Tennessee, Williams played in 45 games (32 starts) in which he had 138 tackles, 25 tackles for a loss, he had 7 sacks, batted down 1 pass and he recovered 1 fumble.  Don’t look for Williams to have big tackle totals in the pros but that doesn’t mean he won’t be a defensive asset as long as he demands a double team.
