Currently GB list the following players as Running backs.
They are:


Kapri Bibbs 5'10" 203 lbs age:26 exp: 4 years

Tra Carson 5'11" 228 lbs age:26 exp: 3 years

Lavon Coleman 5'11" 216 lbs age:24 exp: 1 year

Malcolm Johnson 6'1" 231 lbs age:26 exp: 2 years

Aaron Jones 5'9" 208 lbs age:24 exp: 3 years

Jamaal Williams 6'0" 213 lbs age:23 exp: 3 years


Jones lead the Packers with 728 Rushing Yards on 133 carries with a 5.5 yd per carry average.
Williams rushd for 464 yards on 121 carries for a 3.8 yd per carry average.
Bibbs rushed for 103 yards on 21 carries for a 4,9 yd per carry average.

Williams caught 27 passes for 210 yds and averaged 7.8 yds per catch.
Jones caught 26 passes for 206 yds and averaged 7.9 yds per catch.
Bibbs caught 16 passes for 115 yds and averaged 7.2 yds per catch.

(These stats were compiled from Packers.com)

Is GB's running attack good as we move into the 2019 season?
Should they try to get better players or will these players be good moving forward?

IMO, if GB has a shot at a better RB , then they should go for him. However LaFleur's new offensive system and better play calling/blocking could see GB exceed the 2018 rushing stats.

Given Jones' injury history I would like to see them go after another RB. One that would also excel in the passing game. While I wouldn't say RB is a high priority if Josh Jacobs can do what many say he can I wouldn't mind getting him but he likely won't fall to 30 and I wouldn't take him at 12. I really do like Jones and maybe he can be productive in the passing game but Williams is nothing more than just an OK back. Fine for a #3 or to give the starter a breather but I wouldn't want to have to count on him as a starter if Jones goes down. The other guys you mentioned IMO won't amount to anything more than a guy who can give you spot duty here or there. I won't be upset if none of them make the team.

What we need is about 8 picks in the first 4 rounds to do some real good in this draft.

Jones is your lighting guy. He was used in the passing game in college, will be used that way much more in LeFluer's system than in Mike's.

Now we need that guy who can take a step and cut it up the middle. Preferably somebody with speed.

Give Jones the chance to be the guy you won't regret it.

I would be happy with another Williams type guy, if we can’t get another Jones guy...but we need another guy.

Using Jones more in the passing game could keep him healthier too. Doesn't need to be under a pile every single time.

The Packers reportedly tried to sign power RB Mark Ingram. So I would say the Packers are certainly looking for that power guy. He doesn't nessary have to start but to have a power back as an option, might be needed.

I'm usually end up looking at the two Bama RBs harder when they might be good value.

I could be mistaken, but I believe a number of Jones injuries (where he would miss some drives and then later come back) where due to injuries as a pass blocker and absorbing the pass rush hit, more than he did with the actual ball in his hands. So yes it would be nice if they could use him as a receiver more and pass blocker less.

Anywho, beast from what I remember Jones missed drives because McCarthy was an idiot, not because he got injured every other drive, or for 1/2 the game each week. I could be wrong.
