Due to the unpredictable nature of the Madden 23 coins Draft, it's often difficult to predict what prospects might be picked outside of the top selections.

Insiders believe Williams is likely to be Dallas' pick at No. 18 from Tony Pauline of DraftInsider.net. Tony Pauline of DraftInsider.net. Cowboys have been associated with Texas safeties Kenny Vaccaro, but many believe that he'll leave the board before Dallas selecting. The safety position could be a larger necessity for the Cowboys, but Williams is a great fit on Dallas' defense. Dallas defense.

Dallas is shifting to a four-three defensive plan this year which is why Williams could provide the Cowboys an extremely versatile defensive tackle to add on the roster. The Cowboys are a formidable team on the defensive line, with Jay Ratliff and Jason Hatcher currently penciled in to start as defensive linemen. Both players will be 31 by the time they start training camp and there's not a great deal of depth in the back.

In his time in North Carolina, Williams flashed the potential to become a formidable player. He is known for his speed off the ball as well as his raw power. He's still raw as a pass rusher and was fatigued late in games, but Williams may be able to make an impact quickly as a rotational player prior to developing into a full-time role later on.

SB Nation ranked Williams as the No. 5 defensive tackle candidate in the draft, and the No. 35 overall. Williams isn't expected to be selected in the first round of Dan's latest mock draft, but that could hinge on where Vaccaro decides to go. Kadar has the Cowboys taking Vaccaro early in the draft. If Vaccaro goes off the table before Dallas chooses, Williams may be the new Cowboy this Thursday.
