If the Green Bay Packers wanted a running back to complement Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams and who would fit perfectly in Matt LaFleur’s zone-blocking run game, it’s hard to imagine a much better selection than Dexter Williams. General manager Brian Gutskunst made the Notre Dame product the 194th pick in the draft, and the explosive ability that Williams brings is very reminiscent of Jones.
However, fans should find it easy to support Williams and pull for him to be successful in his NFL career. The bond that he has with his mother is critical to him, and her story is one that should remind everyone of how fleeting life can be.
While we take a look at Williams and a few of the other Packers draft picks in today’s curds, we also find a controversial article discussing one of the best players on the team’s defense over the past decade. Be sure to check out this piece from Tom Silverstein, which discusses the question about whether Mike Daniels could move on even before his contract expires next spring, and weigh in on whether you agree.

If you weren't watching the draft or missed the profile of Williams and his mother on ESPN, this is well worth a read.

Why Mike Daniels is no longer the right fit for Packers | Packersnews.com
Although Daniels can still get into the backfield when healthy, it seems that his build isn't an ideal fit for what Mike Pettine's defense needs, and there's a good chance he'll be seeing fewer third-down snaps this season. This does not mean he is truly expendable, but if the right trade offer came along, the Packers would probably at least consider it.
