. LB. Alabama. Tim Williams. 24. player. 124

Some people believe the Kansas City Chiefs may be the most complete team in the AFC, outside of maybe the New England Patriots. Alex Smith is extremely steady under center, and Spencer Ware appears ready to take the mantle if running back Jamaal Charles does not come back from injury. The defensive unit is also loaded with stars, though the linebacking group is getting up there in age.

Alabama linebacker Tim Williams fits the mold in Kansas City, and could take over for Derrick Johnson as the next big linebacker for the Chiefs. He is an incredibly gifted defensive player, who has been a leader on the dynasty that is the Crimson Tide. His work ethic would fit right in with the Chiefs and their incredible fan base.

Williams was the standout player in Alabama’s huge win against LSU this past week. He continuously rushed the passer, and really did a lot to improve his draft stock. If he can finish out the year the way he played against the Tigers, he just may not be available this late in round one. If he is, the Chiefs need to grab him quick.
