The Lass Word: Jameson Williams Would Be a Bold Move

Knee injury makes this spectacular receiver a huge question mark.

The Green Bay Packers, in the Brian Gutekunst era, have often chosen to use high draft picks to fill future needs, as opposed to immediate concerns. Rashan Gary, Eric Stokes and AJ Dillon are good examples. All were intended to be eventual, not immediate, replacements. Stokes did wind up starting most of his rookie year, but only because Kevin King couldn’t stay healthy.

I bring this up because I recently heard draft guru Mel Kiper make the case for the Packers to use their first round pick this year on receiver Jameson Williams.
