I'm ok with that in the 3rd round (late no less). Lets put it this way. I slammed Gutes for the Amari Rogers pick. Smallish guy with limited upside. Why for ffs? Williams is a beast who probably will never utilize all that potential, however I think the floor is much higher than for other guys we have taken there. He is physically similar to Watson who we traded up for. A touch slower, but a world difference in strength and size (weight). I don't know, but getting him in the 3rd instead of Gutes trading up in the 2nd seems like a better value than we have found in recent history.

    Hated the Amari pick as well. Was it Amon St Brown the one we passed ? just imagine..........
    TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

      I wanted Kenny Gainwell. He was similar to Amari but designated as a RB. He had elite pass catching skills for a RB and could have filled that "gadget" role way better than Amari. Instead he went a round later to the Eagles. Gainwell is still in the league and productive. Amon was also a 4th round pick, but more of a true WR. I watched his pro day and thought he was going to be good, but I went with the Gainwell comparison because of the way they intended to use that pick. 32 GMs should all be embarrassed that Amon lasted until the 4th.

        Pretty sure we'd both take St Brown now (most pundits had him rated quite higher than Rodgers) but Gainwell would have given us a skill set we still have not found

          I'd take St. Brown over any "skill set" player on our roster except Love.

            The Packers drafted St. Brown. Just the wrong one in the wrong year.

              Yep, St. Brown went in R4, actually. I would have expected (and wanted) them to take a flier on some guy picked shortly after Amari, a guy named Nico Collins. Would've been fine with him or St. Brown, who I liked but thought he was slot-only and small for a GB WR, but that argument doesn't seem to apply anymore after Reed and Golden.

              I suspect having EQ on the team might have been a reason not to take Amon, but you never know. Their parents are interesting characters for sure and who knows what the locker-room/off-field stuff would have been like with them both in the WR room.

                I can just imagine what the negativists and detractors in here woulda said at the time if the Packers had drafted another St. Brown hahahaha.
                What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
