The Packers and Jets have been frequent trade partners in recent years, and the teams have pulled off another deal.
The Packers have jumped to No. 111, with New York acquiring picks No. 126 and No. 190.
The Packers will use their new pick on Oregon safety Evan Williams. Williams represented the fourth Oregon player to be selected in the fourth round.
After leading the Fresno State defense for four seasons, Williams transferred to Oregon for the 2023 campaign. He proceeded to earn second team All-Pac-12 honors after compiling 82 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and one forced fumble.
While the defensive back didn’t posses the same upside as other prospects at the position, his defensive savvy should keep him on NFL rosters.
The Packers were one of the more active teams through the first two days of the draft, selecting five rookies. The team added Georgia’s Javon Bullard in the second round, and the two rookies will join a new-look safeties room that also features new addition Xavier McKinney.
