Conclusion: They’re Both Really Good

These are two very different players who get it done in different ways. Williams is a guy who sets his sights on the quarterback and flies off the edge. Bowser is a pass rusher who can do more than just rush the passer. The key is finding a niche for both players in the defense. Alternating Bowser and Williams in and out of the game is a great idea. This would make Matt Judon the Pernell Mcphee like wild card in the pass rush department.

Bowser also fits as an inside linebacker. Bowser is a more complete player and therefore he has a higher floor. There is a reason that Bowser was picked higher. In terms of upside, both players are rather comparable. It truly looks like the Ravens found two stars for the next chapters of Ravens football.
