In April, NFL general managers deemed 255 players better than Kylin Hill, including 16 running backs. In August, he's scored two impressive touchdowns for the Packers.

Really looking like we might have a 7th round steal on our hands. Like the article said, it might be hard to keep off the field behind Jones and Dillon. And he looks comfortable catching the ball too and Dillon doesn't look half bad either when thrown his way. Having 3 backs that can catch out of the backfield? How fun would that be?

While I think the Packers will miss Williams this year in some areas, notably pass blocking, it will be very interesting to see how well Dillon and Hill do. I think Dillion is (potentially) a much better pure rusher than Williams - and even Aaron Jones for that matter. And Hill seems like he brings a lot of good stuff to the table as RB3.

I'd like to see how he does with a good offensive line.

Seeing a back shoulder catch like that out of a rookie 7th round pick is rather exceptional, especially knowing how much they like to have RBs run WR style routes in this offense.

Also yeah with Williams, I think his intangibles on and off the field will be hard to replace. But it looks like the Packers will have a pretty good 1-2-3 punch as it is, so I can understand letting him go.

I think Dillon will be the one replacing William’s “get er dun” on the field attitude.
And Hill will be a very useful change of pace guy. And being a 7th rounder, he seems to have a great attitude, knowing he’s a long shot and taking full advantage of every opportunity he gets.

Fennell on nuances of Kylin Hill. “Reliable pass pro, solid hands, efficient inside/outside runner, tough. 'Pros Pro' type of RB.”

Pass pro is the biggest question for a rookie.

packerfanoutwest (14h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (14h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (15h) : now 3

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
