GREEN BAY, Wis. – Sacking the quarterback wasn’t a problem for the Green Bay Packers last season. Getting to the quarterback, on the other hand, was a considerable issue – one addressed in Mel Kiper’s new two-round mock draft at ESPN.
At No. 23 of the first round, the Packers selected Georgia edge defender Mykel Williams.
According to SportRadar, the Packers were 16th in pressure percentage last season. According to ESPN Stats & Info, they were 22nd.
Enter Williams, who played through a high-ankle sprain last season to record five sacks.
“He has the explosive traits to be an extremely effective edge rusher,” Kiper wrote.
