Maybe we can do something like this for other positions.

1. Rank this year's RBs

1. Eddie Lacy
2. Giovani Bernard
3. Knile Davis
4. Le'veon Bell
5. Montee Ball
6. Chrisitine Michael
7. Marcus Lattimore
8. Joseph Randle
9. Kenjon Barner
10. Stephon Taylor

2. Where is the earliest you would pick a Running Back this year?
I would take Eddie Lacy at 26. I feel he's the type of RB that would take our offense to the next level.

3. Which RB prospect intrigues you the most?
Marcus Lattimore. If he was 100% healthy he would be a top 10 pick. I feel like the guy has so much talent and if he gets some luck on his side could be one hell of a running back. If the knees check out, he could be a great value/pivk up for a team.

4. Which RB prospect would you stay awat from?
I'm staying away from Michael. Too many character concerns for me.

5. Do the Packers take a Running Back this year? If so where and who?
I think GB takes Knile Davis at the end of round 3.

What do you guys think?

I like Montee's fit the best. Great vision, good in pass pro, very natural receiver.

1. Eddie Lacy
2. La'Veon Bell
3. Monte Ball
4. Christine Michael.
5. Jonathan Franklin

Is my top 5 RBs right now.

I would not take an running back in the first round. The highest I would take an RB is if the Packers trade back into the top of the second round. #26 for any of these backs, I don't like. #26 for one of this year's backs plus additional assets I am fine with.

RB prospect that intrigues me the most: La'Veon Bell. I think he's a darn near perfect scheme fit, only question I have is the volume of carries he'll get in Mac's offense.

I would stay away from Lattimore because he wasn't really an NFL calibre RB last year before his knee exploded, Taylor because I don't like one-speed backs in the NFL, and Bernard because I think DuJuan Harris is better.

I think the Packers take Bell or Ball on day 2.

10. Kenjon Barner

2. The earliest I would take a running back this year is in round 1. I wouldn't be upset with Lacy, but ideally I would like us to go with Montee Ball in round 2 or 3.

3. Like you pollino, the RB prospect that intrigues me the most is also Lattimore. The dude was such a stud when healthy and hasnt gotten the breaks to go his way. He is a hard worker so I wouldn't put it past him.

4. The RB prospect I would stay away from is Knile Davis. For some reason I have just never been too high on him. If we took him im sure I would grow to like him. Laughing

5. I think the Packers take Le'veon Bell somewhere around rounds 2 and 3.

^ What's the earliest you would go for Lattimore?

I personally think round 4 and I would be happy. Good gamble there.

No offense to any posters in here, but I just don't get why so many are anti-Lacy. That boy is a freaking stud, runs like he's mad at the ground. I love him, and everybody is certainly entitled to their own opinion, but I personally think he's the game changer we need at RB.

1. Rank this year's RBs

As of right now...

1. Christine Michael
2. Zac Stacy
3. Le'Veon Bell
4. Andre Ellington
5. (Marcus Lattimore)
6. Dennis Johnson
7. Jawan Jamison
8. Eddie Lacy
9. Stepfan Taylor
10. Knile Davis

2. Where is the earliest you would pick a Running Back this year?
I think the value for RB's can be found in rounds 3-4 depending on who falls. Who knows though. Before the draft maybe a few names get hot. But the absolute earliest this year I'd feel comfortable is round 2.

3. Which RB prospect intrigues you the most?
As you said, Marcus Lattimore. Without the injury, no doubt he's the number 1 back in my eyes. I think he comes back strong and makes everyone look like idots, but he may flame out quick. Huge Risk/Huge Reward.

4. Which RB prospect would you stay awat from?
Gio Bernard, Gilliselee, Randle and any other thin-legged RB.

5. Do the Packers take a Running Back this year? If so where and who?
Either Christine around the 2nd round or Zac Stacy in round 4 would be my dream!
