If LaMichael James is available in the 3rd or 4th I would take him. Pack may get a comp pick or two from Kampman and Jenkins so why not use one here?

Saine will be a beast for us… Just wait and see.

He’s never been the same since he held out a couple years. I say let him walk. I’m sure some team will pick him up.

I don’t see Grant getting much more than the veteran’s minimum, from anyone.

RBs can be found later in the draft. The Packers could use a smaller back with some quickness and good hands. In other words, they need a shotgun back, like Brandon Jackson with a bit more explosiveness.

They don’t need any more 20 carries a game guys. That is basically what Grant is. He isn’t the kind of guy that is going to produce a lot with 12 touches a game, and that is about what our RBs can expect.

Seems as if the Packers are in wait and see mode with their free agents. This is good if they don’t get signed elsewhere and we’re able to get them at a cheaper cost (i.e. James Jones).

I appreciate all Grant has contributed, but I agree we seem to be all good at running back…well, good enough.

I may be wrong, but it seems like the Pack built an O line geared more toward pass protection than run blocking. I say this only because they seem to do a pretty solid job at the former, and less so at the latter. With all the needs they have on the defensive side of the ball, I can’t imagine they would burn a pick on a back in the draft.

I think between Starks and Saine the pack can sign another guy and be fine. Grant looked slow you watch a Starks and Grant carry side by side Starks was bursting through the hole while Grant looked more liked a fullback running with the ball.
