The New York Jets have selected Leonard Williams with the sixth overall pick. Here's his full scouting report, courtesy of Jeff Hyde (@Jeff__Hyde).
There are many things teams will love about Leonard Williams leading up to the NFL Draft in just a few weeks.

First off, he is extremely versatile along the defensive front.  He can dominate with his elite combination of power moves and explosiveness at the defensive tackle position, or he can move outside to the end position and be used to create mismatches by using his speed, agility and finesse moves to get to the quarterback off of the edge. 

He almost always delivers a devastating first punch to the offensive lineman across from him, gaining leverage by keeping his pads down allowing him to get the upper hand from the very beginning.  Once he has leverage, Williams uses good hand technique and extended arms in combination with seamless lateral agility to shed off blocks and get to the ball carrier or the quarterback. 

Williams is a lock to be a top five pick in this year’s draft because of the elite talent he already possesses along with the potential of growth as well.  Williams is only 20 years old and still has room to improve.  That’s scary. 

Williams is a little slow off of the snap of the ball and doesn’t transition well on play action play calls, but these are things that a young elite player will have plenty of time to fix at the next level. 

Williams compares himself to JJ Watt, but I think athletically, he is limited to a comparison of Richard Seymour.
