Sporting News Mock Draft/Kenny Irons

[BallHawk]

I believe that you're looking at the RB Rankings at nfldraftcountdown.com. I believe they have put someone else down for his measurements. Pittman is 5'11, 195.

yea, and if he is that, whats wrong with lorenzo booker, hes 2 pounds lighter, and if he bulks up a lil bit he would be Perfect size

[LL2]

If Pittman and Irons would be more suited for GB ZBS sytem wouldn't it be worth taking a chance at getting one of them in the second rd and taking a good WR in the first?

[Fritz]

No Kenny Irons, please. Last time the Pack took a RB in the first round named Kenny (Davis), it didn't work out.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Here's a guy that just may end up in Green Bay. Actually, I have a feeling he'll rise before the draft and get taken before our pick. I wouldn't mind him playing for the Pack in 2007 though.

Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska (6-6, 298)

I would rather have S Reggie Nelson, Florida, or CB Leon Hall, Michigan. They will probably be gone though, so Carriker would be a good pick and improve the Packers depth on the D-line. I also like Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsbugh, because he can return kicks, which the Packers badly need. I think TT should focus on defense with the first pick. Get a WR, RB, & TE later.

hes not extremely smart, but lorenzo booker struck me as quick... idk i still got alot to learn on schemes and im just throwing out names

You don't learn unless you ask, so keep on throwing out names. Lurker did a very good job of describing the ZBS. The ideal weight for a ZBS RB is no taller than 6'1 and no more than 220. There are exceptions, but that is generally the size that you're gonna be looking for. So someone like Michael Bush or Tony Hunt is not someone that we would look to draft. Backs that could be a good fit for our scheme is people like Kenny Irons, Antonio Pittman, Brandon Jackson, and as you mentioned, Lorenzo Booker. Booker, however, might be too small to play in the NFL, regardless of the scheme.

As much as you don't like to admit it, Marshawn Lynch would be a perfect fit for the ZBS and great fit for the Packers offensive style.

[BallHawk]

The chances we draft Lynch are slim to none.

but if we did

[PackerPro42]

The chances we draft Lynch are slim to none.

Why would you say that? He has as good of chance as any other player.

He says that because of his "questionable" charectar. Idk i go back and forth on Lynch because we do need a saftey also and id hope if Reggie Nelson was there that we'd snatch him up

[BallHawk]

I agree with CW on Reggie Nelson, I'd be happy with that pick.

I'm hoping TT trades down later into the first round so we could pickup maybe Kenny Irons and add a 2nd round pick.

But i dont think Irons has that spark that we need at running back.

Just curious though say we take Nelson this year, and some how are drafting top 3 next year. Would ethier Steve Slaton or Darren Mcfadden fit in our scheme?

When your GM emphasizes having "Packer People" adding a player who threatens to kill women if they don't touch him is just a little bit discouraging.
