In this coming year's draft, should we draft a quick, elusive back? Maybe something along the lines of a Chris Johnson?

Grant is our power runner, now we need another chance of pace back. Imagine how lethal our backfield would be.

Just think about it.

What do you think?

I'm not sold on Ryan Grant even as a power runner.

It depends on who is on the board. Obviously Knowshon Moreno and Chris Wells are probably the top two backs in this years draft and I don't think either will be around when the Packers pick or you never know with the way they looked Monday night.

Moreno would be an ideal compliment to Ryan Grant in my opinion. One that would make our offense one of the best if not the best in the NFC in my opinion assuming we fine offensive lineman too.

Chris Wells reminds me of Adrian Peterson, but obviously not THAT good. I think he could have a big impact though.

I think the need of a pass rusher is most important right now so one of those two would have to be there for the Pack to pass on a stout pass rush in my opinion.

The other 1st round back is probably LeSean McCoy.

Maybe C.J. Spiller in the 2nd round or 3rd round to be kind of a version of Steve Slaton of this year would be the best overall fit and value when you factor everything in.

Oh yeah, how could I forget Ringer?

I doubt any of the big name backs will be around when we pick though.

Is RB really a 1st round need? Not in my book.. a mid round scat back, make them miss in the open field type back would fill the need we have..

Pound them with Grant and Jackson, then bring in the "wheels" type back to create in space.. we don't need a franchise back at this point.. we need a explosive in space threat out of the backfield.

Yeah, sort of like the NY Giants situation.

B. Jacobs = Ryan Grant
D. Ward = Brandon Jackson
A. Bradshaw = ??

But considering the amount of time that Brandon Jackson gets, do you really think that this new draft pick will get that many snaps?

IMO, Jackson isn't any more elusive than Grant and lacks the same burst in the hole.. Jackson to me, is more of a bull back with good hands out of the backfield.

Would this new back get a ton of touches.. probably not.. but someone like the Washington kid for the Jets.. or Sproles of the Chargers.. an elusive change of pace threat that gets 3 to 6 touches a game but is someone that can make the defense pay attention when he steps on the field.. speed and elusive in space..
