I doubt it would happen but would be ok with it. A first round RB in GB would be a big break in tradition. Yet, I see greater needs for the team.
I suggested Etienne tongue-in-cheek, although he is an impressive back and will be productive for someone.
Based on the events of the day, Etienne would make less than zero sense for GB. Unless they can get him in R7.
Yeah, I could maybe see a RB on Day three, especially on a gadget/speed RB/Slot like Kenneth Gainwell from Memphis, Javian Hawkins from Louisville, Jermar Jefferson, Demetric Felton from UCLA.
They nabbed Patrick Taylor from Memphis last year and stashed him on the reserve list all season, as well. He's a guy with size, speed and versatility and they may plan on him taking Jamaal's spot this year.
Lafleur has mentioned his desire to have 4 quality RBs.
Ran another TDN for fun with the Jones news:
29. Zaven Collins LB Tulsa - Because man-crushes never die.
62. Richie Grant S UCF - Safety for big nickel who can also cover. Was between he and Dyami Brown WR North Carolina as no D-lineman I liked was here.
92. Trill Williams CB Syracuse - Long, fast CB who has also played in the slot.
135. Tay Gowan CB UCF - Another long, fast CB who sat out last season so may slip a bit.
142. Cole Van Lanen OT Wisconsin - Experienced tackle who can swing or take Turner's job at RT.
173. Khyris Tonga IDL BYU - Big, quick, very raw athletic freak.
177. Patrick Johnson OLB Tulane - Versatile edge guy. Was thinking Kuony Deng since I thought Johnson would be gone by this point but since he was still there...
212. Simi Fehoko WR Stanford - Yeah, he's kind of MVS but I think he has better hands and guy can fly.
218. Jermar Jefferson RB Oregon State - He's still on the board so adding him seemed a no-brainer even if Dillon takes enough carries to keep Jones healthy.
255. Jamar Watson OLB Kentucky - Gadget pass rusher who can also cover and be a core special teamer.
I did this with the assumption the Packers will be good with their interior O-Line with Jenkins at Center (or maybe Hanson, I suppose). Mayfield went before the Packers' pick, so that temptation was gone. I wanted another D-lineman but there never seemed to be one I liked when the picks came up.
I like the Collins pick...totally on board with that. But 3 DB's in a row? Visions of Ron Wolf dancing through your head? ð
They play a load of nickel and only have two safeties and one corner that are worth more than a warm bucket of spit. Add in that Savage has missed time each season and yes, three DBs who can likely play early could be a thing if they donât bring in anyone from outside. They really need two âstartersâ at a minimum and someone worth a damn in case of injury.
Do you really want to see Kadar Holman and Henry Black playing major snaps? The Packers were pretty fortunate with Injuries last season, but there's a good argument Kevin King should have been at least the third CB in the Championship game. The cap is tight, especially with the Jones re-signing, and having money to bring in a decent veteran could be tight. Corner is deeper than D-line in the draft so it probably makes more sense to sign a lineman, depending on what happens.
Given that formula, and I like your take on it, I would say that relying on three rookies to fix that situation would be unwise. Veteran depth will have to be a part of the equation.
Draft a corner and a safety high...might happen. (rounds 1-4)
Iâd rather not rely so heavily on rookies either, but as of right now I donât see a lot of veteran help coming past rotation guys.

I think it's easier for a rookie to have an immediate impact as a DL than as a CB. Run-stuffing skills don't change much from college and speed rushers can still stress a defense even as they develop some countermoves.
DB play is a lot more complex in terms of recognizing route combinations, etc.
I'd like them to sign a mid-level veteran CB to provide stability (a Breeland type) and then go heavy on defense in the draft (especially ILB and DL). Most elite pass rushers don't get to the free agency and those that do are risks. Clowney is the type of boom or bust free agent that could make a difference if you could get him for 6-7 million. However, I would guess someone will overpay him.
If you look at Packers cornerbacks over the years most of them stepped in right away and either excelled or flamed out.
Newsome, McKenzie, Jaire, Sharper, Hayward, were all pretty decent from the get go. Doug Evans and Sam Shields were more projects. Rollins, Jue, Josh Jackson, Antuan Edwards, Joey Thomas, Ahmad Carroll pretty much sucked from the beginning.
Jeeeee...ZUS!!! 6'4" 235lbs and runs that? I wanted the Packers to nab him in R5 and convert him to a TE...dude may well be a Day 1 pick after this...
Second pro day 40 for Stanford WR Simi Fehoko: 4.37u
â NFL Draft (@NFLDraft) March 18, 2021
4.39u on first run.
He must have had a running start? Damn!
has a bit of a Jeff Samardzija vibe to him...

NFL has their grades up for the kids getting drafted
Christian Barmore 6.70
Zaven Collins 6.39
either one I'll be happy
Those aren't very good 40 times. 
@fightphoe93 posted:Sadly, they have tried this before with the likes of Nick Perry, Jerel Worthy, Datone Jones, Khyri Thornton, Clinton-Dix, Damarious Randall, Quentin Rollins, etc. etc. etc. Clinton-Dix was decent early on and Perry had 1 good year, Kevin King is okay when healthy, but thatâs about it for that mediocre at best list of players the Pack tried to throw at their defensive deficiencies.
They are just very poor at identifying talent for fixing the D with Alexander and Clark being the lone exceptions. Maybe Savage will develop, but just lots and lots of mediocrity and disappointments the past decade.
Thatâs why reaching for a position is so bad. Fuck it, just get the best damned player you can find.
They need to stick with signing Ravens FAs.
QB's listed 1, 17, 18 and 21.
Likely three will go in the top five picks.
If you are an NFL GM in that range, needing a franchise QB, there is a good chance at reaching for a bust pick for any QB not named Trevor Lawrence.
Don't forget ugly and flatulent.
It's not just the Riunite, it's the fistful of Velveta and rye crisps he has with it.
If NFL.com was "correct" and in "order", the seven "best players available" listed are:
Gregory Rosseau OLB Miami - Athletic freak opt-out, maybe a better version of Gary
Zaven Collins LB Tulsa - 'nuf said.
Jalen Phillips OLB Miami - Another freakish athlete, but his injury history scares the crap out of me.
Tyson Campbell CB Georgia - Georgia runs a LOT of zone, not sure I like him.
Kadarious Toney - Smaller than they seem to go for and more of a lot/gadget guy right now, but guy can move.
Treven Moehrig - Seems a straight up Free Safety
Terrance Marshall JR - Seems more like a receiver the Packers like with better size and a good prospect all-around
I still take Collins, with Rosseau being the second choice. I'd rather they trade down than take Campbell and probably Moehrig. Hopefully someone would want to come up for a fifth-year option on Mac Jones
I'm assuming that list is who you think is likely to be available when we draft...
If you go back and re-read it, you might infer it's who nfl.com thinks is likely to be available at the Packers' draft position....
@Henry posted:They need to stick with signing Ravens FAs.
Willie Snead and Dez Bryant are available.
The NFL draft would be so much more predictable if all the teams would just stick with "the script". But teams feel the need to ad lib a lot.
Some ad lib by not getting their picks in in time.
That is one way, but there is usually one or two teams that make really "off the wall" picks that could make them candidates for the Darwin Awards. Not that I am advocating for that - it has worked well for GB in the NFC North.
