Willis, at 255, is a little light for a starting de, which is why you never hear his name in first round discussions. But he was very productive at Kansas State and had a great combine. As a senior he had 17.5 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks. He's good at stripping the ball the way Umenyiora used to do it for the Giants. He's also a pretty good tacker.
He had an exceptional combine. He ran a 4.53 40 (faster than Garrett) with a 39 inch vertical. His 3 cone and shuttle were very good.
As a rookie, I could see him coming in for passing downs with JPP moving inside. If we don't sign JPP, he'll do the same with Okwara starting on running plays.
I agree, If Willis is there at 55 he is my pick.
