What do we do at the RB postion, Arnt we screwed?
After spending much of today going over many many mock drafts and listening to all the draft "experts" on radio and TV, I am resigned to the probability that we are taking Lynch with pick #16.
All of a sudden I don't feel very good about that pick.
But as the draft gets closer, I really want the Packers to draft Griffin out Texas. The more I research him and hear what the draftnicks have to say, I think he is going to be a productive safety in this league for years to come.
What is not to feel good about with that pick, if he is picked by us that is. Ted & company had him in and I am sure asked everything they need to ask. He has been a productive back and a good reciever out of the backfield.

In round 2 you can land a lot of quality backs. Brian Leonard, Chris Henry, and Antonio Pittman all come to mind. Even Michael Bush as well if he truly is 99% ready to go. So we're not "screwed" but Lynch is a better prospect than all of the names I stated.
That's what I liked about A. Green. If he could drag himself out there he would play. I'm not sure this kid has that in him.
all about da packers said:I think we'll target a day 1 back, probably in round 2. HOWEVER, the RB we target will be to compliment Morency's style... someone like Tony Hunt (you could argue he may slip to the 3rd round).
id like to see us draft olsen in the first if hes still there.
Draft, Brian Leonard in the second. leonard fills both the full back and running back spots if he needs to. That kid played on a substandard team and pretty much carried that team to greatness. If we get him in the second round it will be a steal and he will be a mike alstott type guy for us. put him and morency together and i think youve got a nice tandem.
micheal griffins stock has risen greatly over the last few weeks, but after a crappy year at texas, he was originally gonna be a third round pick. i dont think he will fall to the third, but man if he did what a draft.
1. Olsen
2. Leonard
3. Griffin.
that is the ultimate draft... it probally could never happen with griffins stock soaring, but its still nice to dream.
