    And before someone says "they're fine" or "re-sign Dillon", try to remember how many explosive plays those guys had, and then think about how many Jones had despite missing half a season. You need to replicate Jones, not keep JAGs.
    I did forget - thanks for the reminder. Yes, they need to draft a couple RB's.

    But please, not Blake Corum. He scored a lot of touchdowns because he got a lot of carries, and really, to me, was not super strong nor shifty nor did he have awesome vision. Got rode hard and put away wet.

    I liked Corum LAST year, and then he got hurt. Now I think he's got a lot of use, and maybe overexposure. He's ok. Don't really want Gute to pick him and doubt he will. I could see them get a guy to be a Jones clone, and a guy to play the bigger back Dillon role. Gute said they want a bigger back, and Emanuel Wilson is bigger but I think they can do better than him. Maybe that means Troy Benson or Brealon Allen on Day 2, but it could just as easily mean taking a guy like Kendall Milton or Dillon Johnson in R6.

    I don't think Corum is destined to be a Packer, and I'm fine with that. Hopefully that's not a reverse jinx. Then again, I said I didn't want Gary or Love (thought the picks were too risky) and look what happened there.

    Who was the last Michigan draft pick you really really disliked Fritz ?
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
