STM Take

Tier 8 (#63) rookie to tier 7 (#49) sophomore for a 111th overall 4th-round pick shows modest developmental trajectory. The Oregon Pac-12 4th-round origin plus the structural Packers anchor role give him real college foundation. The 2026 question is whether Williams crosses into tier 6 territory or whether the role compresses to swing depth.

Williams came out of Oregon as the Green Bay Packers' 4th-round pick (111th overall) in 2024. He has anchored the Packers' safety rotation across two seasons. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#63) rookie to tier 7 (#49) sophomore.

Strengths

  • Oregon Pac-12 4th-round draft pedigree plus two years of Packers system experience gives him real college foundation.
  • 14-spot year-over-year improvement from tier 8 (#63) rookie to tier 7 (#49) sophomore shows developmental trajectory.

Concerns

  • Two straight tier 7-8 finishes flag the realistic 2026 ceiling at top-50 S rather than Pro Bowl territory.
  • Green Bay's broader defensive identity around Jeff Hafley's first-year scheme puts continued Williams ceiling partly scheme-dependent.

What to watch: Whether Williams crosses into tier 6 (top 50) in 2026 with the Packers or whether the role compresses to swing depth.
