With the Pats, you've always got to watch out for guys who played under coaches Belichick likes - Urban Meyer, Pat Hill, Nick Saban. And yes, Kirk Ferentz is from the Belichick coaching tree, but I can't recall them taking a guy from Iowa. I think he's taken about 10 guys from the other three.
As for Williams and Cody, I agree that Williams will go first, but I'm not sure who will have the better career. Cody shows much better on the field than on the scale, so these post-season events will be a bit embarrassing for him, especially if he takes his shirt off during his 40 a la Andre Smith.
Weight issue guys are about a 50/50, it seems. Guys like Shaun Rogers go on to be pretty dominant, while guys like Alan Branch don't. Tough call.
My sense is that Cody is going to make a good pro, though. He can play.
