I will say this, if okoye, branch, carriker, jamal anderson, adams, landry are all gone, you could make a case for willis over hall, but its a tough call. What do we need more another corner or another linebacker.

If we can't keep opposing lineman off our linebackers, how is Willis going to make much of a difference. He may have run in the 4.3's but I don't see that helping him much fighting off guards, centers etc. What's he gonna do -- try and run around blockers? I agree completely GC that we don't take Willis before adressing our most pressing needs first!
