Earlier this week, reports around the NFL were claiming that the New England Patriots, who released Aaron Hernandez for obvious reasons, might be looking toward Green Bay to snatch up Jermichael Finley — but hold on, that Packers tight end of interest may be D.J. Williams instead. This morning, ESPN Boston aired a report that [...]

We should be so lucky.

IMO, D.J. Williams is one of the most likely to not make the final roster for the Packers. If we could get a 7th or 6th or 5th or 4th round pick for him, great.

A first or second round pick for Finley would be nice too, but I don't think that will happen.

If the Pack could get something (anything) for Williams they should grab it.
I just don't see Williams bringing much to the Table in Green Bay.

I don't see Williams as trade worthy but funny things can happen in the NFL.

Williams has no trade value. None.

The first thing to do is check the Vikings depth chart at TE, then see if anyone else wants to offer anything for Williams. There is probably something there if the Patriots are willing to give anything up for him, and I am not big on doing anything to help that franchise out.

We have a lot of TEs, but do we have a lot of GOOD TEs? Finley has history of dropping passes and his blocking leaves a lot to be desired, Quarless is a physical TE but coming off a knee injury, DJ Williams is a good blocker but like Finley drops passes, Taylor is a ST player, Mulligan is more of a blocking TE, Stoneburner and Bostick are unknowns.

While picking up an extra draft pick is nice, I'd like to see some of these guys step up in TC before we go dealing any of them. Of course if Williams and Taylor had been used a little more over the past two seasons we might have a better idea of what we have in them.
