All the teams passed 6 or more times on Driver, that's not far off. I know what you are saying wpr but it seems he is the best we have right now. Starks has been good when healthy but can't stay healthy and I had high hopes for Green but he's just not coming around. I wouldn't mind seeing Ted Thompson draft a RB. If it's higher than a 4th rounder I would think he is pretty high on them.

The more Ted passes on these older experienced RB's, the more I am looking foward to seeing Harris, Green, and Saine compete for playing time.

Green a little bigger than Harris, Saine also, at one time Sain was a little faster, but after the injury last year, it remains to be seen if he gets all his speed back.
I would like to see Saine put on a few pounds and eventually replace Kuhn at the starting FB spot.
I'm hoping the injury bug doesn't hit The Packers as hard this year.

I like Harris too, and I applaud the decision to have him be part of the 2 man rotation, but I'm HOPING he wasn't just a flash in the pan last season. Naturally, as he gets a reputation, teams will plan for him more. Hopefully he stays good then. Also, being so small, hopefully he can stay healthy. I'd really like to see Montee Ball paired with Harris. Barring that, I'd just go with (in order of quality IMO) Green, Starks, Grant.

32 teams passed on Tramon Williams 7 times in the draft. He got cut by (at the time) lowly Texans. He seemed to work out pretty well for the Packers.

I didn't say I don't want him in the GB backfield. I said I want to see more from him before I believe he is the real deal.

Based on the rumors of free agent RBs in which the Packers were allegedly interested, not to mention the fact that they signed CedBen last year, it DOES seem to me that the Pack is actually interested in a running game, at least to some degree.

Good to see.

Man, I would love to see Starks tear up the NFL this season, along with Harris. Straight through to another Lombardi Trophy... I do think Benson can and will help.

Who's this Stark guy? 😕 Is he new? I don't remember anyone by that name playing last year. Or the year before. Did Ted sign a FA and I missed it? 😱
