now this was a draft where the writers who cover the various teams made the picks but that isn't what interested me. These picks were instantly graded by former GM Bill Polian and McShay. So when the Atlanta writer selected Willis with the 31st pick Bill Polian started clapping and stated he loves the pick. Basically he said Willis is what he tested, explosive and a production terror in pressuring the QB. There was no reservation from Polian whatsoever.

That was telling to me about how the GMs might truly think of Willis. I think he has a fair shot of sneaking into that first round.

Of course McShay thought it was reaching a little but no matter, he isn't or hasn't been a GM.
