GB needs another RB. I have no problem taking Starks. When you get late in the draft I don't see it being a reach to take him since the reward can be fairly high and if he doesn't pan out, it is no big deal. There are not a lot of positions open on the team anyway.

Taking a risk on an injury prone RB with alot of talent late in the draft is a risk worth taking.

Taking a risk with an injury prone DE in the first round . . not so much.

Ted said Sparks might return kicks.

3 pluses:

1 - he scores TDs
2 - he returns kicks
3 - he gets a lot of catches

He's got a spot on the team. Now I'm guessing Green retires. Thank you Green for all those wonderful years, plus your contributions last year. :thumbright:

We may see Green working for the Packers in the near future.

Has he had more than one injury? (This is football, after all...)

I read the bio at packers.com (think its the same one here) ...

I was really hoping for a rb and this guy looks like a nice find. Ya sure I admit he was a late round pick and had to sit out his senior year because of shoulder surgery - so in essence we are taking a chance with him. But again hes a 6th round pick.

Here is what I do like thou:
- The kid is tall and has played various positions QB, corner and then RB
- The kid played point guard at his school ie basketball; and anyone that has played basketball knows the pointguard has to be good at 'juking' and have good feet. ie something that grant cannot do.
- The kid knows that this is his chance to make it; so hopefully that will drive him to be the best he can be.
- maybe we even have a return man ...

I hope he does well - ie not too many 6'2 rbs out there ...

from what ive read...he worked his ass off in rehab to get his body ready for the draft and be in shape to play...that screams to me that he has the work ethics and personality to be a positive effect...so i feel its a great pick. Just hope he doesnt get injured and look forward to him getting some touches

I only skimmed his bio but I only saw 1 injury myself. I wouldn't call him injury prone.

---

Perhaps injury prone is not the word. More the fact that anytime a player needs surgery in College, one is taking a risk on whether that player is going to be durable.
