NFL Trade Verdict
Even Trade
San Francisco moved down in the 2004 sixth round and landed Andy Lee, while Green Bay moved up for Corey Williams. Lee became an elite punter, and Williams gave Green Bay meaningful defensive-line value. This is a rare late-round trade where both sides did well.
Green Bay Packers Received
- pick 2004 6th round pick (179th overall, Corey Williams )
San Francisco 49ers Received
- pick 2004 6th round pick (188th overall, Andy Lee )
- pick 2004 7th round pick (226th overall, Christian Ferrara )
Trade Analysis
The 49ers hit on Andy Lee, one of the best punters of his era. Green Bay also did well with Corey Williams, who became a useful defensive lineman and later carried additional asset value. The returns are strong enough on both sides to grade the trade even.
