Just naming a few RB's who could help us out.

Shonn Green - Iowa
Chris "Beanie" Wells - Ohio State
C.J. Spiller - Clemson
Javon Ringer - Michigan State
Arian Foster - Tennessee
LeSean McCoy - Pitt

I really like Shonn Greene. He's great at cuts and has really good vision.

I'm not saying we need a running back, but it'd be a nice change of pace. Greene is a 24 year old junior, and he might come out this year. He's projected as a mid-2nd round pick, so it's realistic that we could get him.

Just puttin' it out there. Might be an interesting thread.

I doubt we select a RB at all, but if we do, I can't imagine it would be higher than the 4th round. With that in mind, here's a sleeper that will definitely be available in the late rounds.

Mike Goodson - Texas A&M

He didn't have a great season, largely due to a porous offensive line, but he's fast, quick, and catches the ball out of the backfield well. I think he'd be a nice fit as 3rd down guy.

Hey Go I'm actually working on the Running backs for the off season project and i have alot listed but i'm also looking who might be available for us. If you get a chance take a look at Gatrell Johnson from Colorado State i don't see him on the big boards but hes a senior. I saw a few of his games and i liked what i saw he runs with power has some above average speed but he also catches the ball.
He rushed 27 times for 285 yards with 2 tds and caught 5 for 90 yards in his bowl game. He plays in the cold all the time so he would be a good fit in Green Bay, also i think we could get him in like the 6th or 7th round.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I tell ya, Va. Tech has a good RB in the making....he's a freshman this year but in 3 or 4 years he will be great in the NFL.

His name is Darren Evans. Watch him in the Orange bowl tonight on fox.

Rashad Jennings from Liberty might be worth a middle round pick if Ted Thompson decides to go running back, but I'd rather focus on lines this year. I think Grant and Jackson are good enough if the O-line in front of them can improve.
