Green Bay Takes Cornerback For Future

The defending champion Packers have a lot of talent returning but have a few positions with aging players that need to be addressed for the future.

Before we get into the Pack's selection of cornerback Aaron Williams out of Texas, it is important to note the impact this pick could have on the draft.

With an entire day to reshuffle draft boards before the second round begins, and the always-dangerous New England Patriots sitting at No. 33 of the draft because Carolina had to have Armanti Edwards in the last draft (yea, I know), the No. 32 pick becomes increasingly more valuable.

Any sliding players could throw teams into a frenzy because there is no telling who the Patriots will take, or more importantly, what team they trade the pick to.

The Patriots love to move around and if they can get the right value at No. 33 for a sliding Jake Locker (just an example) teams sitting on the front end of round two expecting to take their next quarterback might rip the hair out of their heads.

Moving up to No. 32 before all hell breaks loose on the start of day two might be a very hot possibility.

The Packers could certainly use some more picks at the right price because they do not have any glaring needs at this very moment.

Aaron Williams is a solid defensive back that has the potential to play safety or corner in the NFL (I still like him at corner).

He is an incredible special teamer (huge boost in value), is willing to make a tackle and has a good size/speed ratio that teams love at 6'0, 205-pounds.
