[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 144459, member: 195"] It's an interesting question. You make a good point, but this year it seems that Lynch is the player who stands out as having the biggest impact for the Packers at #16, unless he's taken earlier or another player drops much farther than expected. Something to keep in mind is that although Denver's RB's have all piled up lots of yards in the zone blocking scheme, they won their Super Bowls when they had an elite running back (Terrell Davis), and Shanahan has made some moves recently to try getting another elite back. Last year he reached in the draft for Maurice Clarett, and this year he signed Travis Henry for big bucks. It could be that Denver's backs have put up big numbers just because the offense is so run-oriented. Apparently Mike Shanahan, who knows a thing or two about the zone blocking scheme, has decided that it's worth sacrificing to try picking up another top quality RB. So I could see the logic in picking Lynch if he's available. But if Thompson feels there is a good chance of picking up a good enough back in the lower rounds, I wouldn't blame him for filling another need with that first round pick. I'm itching to get a good safety or tight end. [/QUOTE]
