Personally, I think it' important to have rotating backs and you do need a guy like Lacy or Blount, that can run against a stacked box.  I'm not convinced anyone currently on the team (besides Rip) is a back that can do that.  Now the Packers don't see defenses loading up for the run very often, mainly because defenses don't have to, but it would be nice to get a power RB in the draft, that defenses have to respect the fact that he can break one, even against a stacked box.  I still view Monty as a good back, who can punish a defense for not respecting the run.</blockquote>
