Evan Williams seems like a box safety. Not sure he fits in with Packers wish to have interchangeable safeties. I guess not everybody can be that flexible.

Agree. I think he's more box safety, but I suspect they think he can handle some deep stuff. They don't have a lot of depth in the room so this is... meh.
I haven't watched him much; there were others people liked (Jaden Hicks?) who maybe you could do more box safety stuff with.
A little underwhelmed with the pick, but I've not really seen him.
I'm expecting Gute to go back to the well at OL and RB, and probably take a flier on a QB. A little surprised Spencer Rattler wasn't the pick at 111 for GB tbh.
Just realized they traded up to take Williams, a R4 and R6 for the NYJ R4.
Seems like Williams is a physical guy and will be a ST demon at worst. Won the Defensive Specialist award at the Senior Bowl.
Javon Bullard said he's "physical as hell", and looks like he's best near the LOS so he could be a fun piece in certain situations. Definitely more of a box safety. Ran a 4.56 at pro day, if the instincts are there you could play him deep in a pinch but it sounds like veteran pro WRs will give him trouble.
Good news: Players like this strongly suggest Hafley's defense will be more aggressive than Barry's.
