[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1046901, member: 10086"] Predraft Marshawn fell more squarely in Round 4 by most scouting accounts. In that best 6-8 RB’s area. The Packers using their first of two 3rd Round selections speaks to the fact they felt Lloyd was undervalued by consensus ratings pre draft. Brian said so himself. When Gutey traded Rasul he claimed that with a 80-something overall draft selections they were often eyeballing a top 50 area value player in our draft board. Based on his own statements we can reasonably deduce that if we trust Brian, we just drafted at least a guy boarded in the 60’s overall worst case. If they are correct Marshawn is going to be a really good complement to Jacobs in fairly short order. If not? Imo We would’ve never wasted a top 88 selection at a position that’s largely been devalued in recent history. I do think Marshawn will need some time to acclimate. His biggest concern is holding onto the ball so that must be addressed also. The other concern is his injury history. He recovered from an ACL in 2020. In 2024 he’s been injured 3 times. Once to start camp, once to start preseason and once to start regular season against the Colts. The culmination of overlapping injuries landed him in IR. I think we had the luxury to do that with Wilson being a pleasant surprise early on. All this said. It’s highly likely this high ankle sprain is temporary and they want to be careful we don’t compound his injuries. I suspect he’ll be back in the next 2-3 games at latest and gradually ramped up for the last 6 or 7 games. I don’t be expect immediate results game 1. I do think we’ll see some explosive plays down the last 4-5 games if he’s out there healthy. [/QUOTE]
