PFF has Trent Williams ranked as the 28th best player in the league

[pjfootballer]

Would love to see us run more screens and utilize his elite ability to get out in space.

Many here, including I, wanted Okung with that pick. Increasingly looking foolish with time

The preseason game against Buffalo comes to mind.

When that draft came up, I was enamoured with Okung myself. But as I studied what type of linemen Shanahan wanted, I knew this was the guy he was looking at. Of course in hindsight, he looks better than Okung now and I'm glad of it.

I love PFF they look at every play so I usually take what they say as pretty good knowledge.

Potential FA targets on the list.... Jairus Byrd and Sebastion Vollmer

I wonder how our team would be if we signed just those 2 guys alone??

[Boss_Hogg]

Another feather in Mike Shanahan's hat...

I remember when some on this board preferred Russell Okung over Trent in the 2010 draft. Okung can barely get on the field.

Agreed. I literally sat there and said "Not trent Williams, Not Trent Williams" as the commissioner walked to the podium. Egg meet face. He's been fantastic.

[MoeRedskins]

I haven't really noticed it, I guess I haven't heard much from him or anything happening on his side so that is a positive sign of him having done well. I do just watch Polumbus the whole time though, and he gets blown up, or at least he did vs. the Panthers this past week.

He's easily one of the best LT in the game today, and for sure a personnel decision that Shanny has gotten right.

[DogofWar1]

Williams has definitely been a monster at LT, and should continue as such for many years. He probably has a lot of pro-bowls and All-pro selections ahead of him.

I thought Trent Williams wasn't a first ROUND prospect. That's how bad I thought we blew the pick.

It's not only Trent Williams play this seasons that has me hyped, it is his attitude. Anybody on the opposing team's defense come at anybody on our team with some nonsense, especially RG3, Trent Williams is over there to let his presence be known. I love that type of attitude.

[USS Redskins]

Even a broken Clock is correct twice a day.

I mean even Vinny got it right with Orakpo.

But good for Trent - he is playing well.

What did that have to do with anything?

Oh, it was just another way to bash Shanahan, got it

[BobGriffin]

now all we need is a dominant #1/Garcon to be healthy and we will have every piece of an offense that will be dominant year in and year out.

This. I have been wanting to see that nasty side of him for the last two years and it seems to have come out. He really seems to get upset when people are giving RG3 the business. That nasty streak is what will ultimately make him an elite LT for years to come.

[WellsHTTR]

I especially like that he seems to have stepped up as a leader after last year's suspension. His maturity was a major question mark when he was drafted, but that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore (especially now that he has a franchise QB to protect).

I was so pissed about that pick at the time. But, Trent has become a mauler.
