Green Bay — Very rarely do you see teams take risks at a premium position, but that's what the Green Bay Packers are doing at cornerback. The team let both Davon House and Tramon Williams test the market.

Regarding this topic, I think Joe Whitt Jr does a great job and I'm surprised he hasn't been yanked for a defensive coordinator position. He's taken how many low picks and even undrafted kids and made them into something special.

Also seen people give Whitt credit for Tramon (not you) and I think Williams became the starter before Whitt got here... so while Tramon really like and respect Whitt, I'm not sure I can give Whitt credit for Williams break out either (though probably helped keep it up).

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : Interesting draft. A bit shocked that we didn't select an early CB. Definitely have Safety help. Pretty happy overall.

dhazer (27-Apr) : wow the last 2 picks are really stupid and probably will be special teams players Top 10 draft pick next year book it

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score
