During his interview at the NFL Scouting Combine, NFL Draft prospect RB Marshawn Lynch (California) said he measured in at 5-foot-11, 215 pounds and ran a 4.36 40-yard dash earlier this month. Lynch also said he has talked to the Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns.

Well, good. If he ran sub 4.4 he probably won't be there when we pick.

the more i see/read about Lynch, the more I like him. I've actually liked him since he was a freshman, but as a Packer I've liked him more recently. I just have a fear that he's gonna be gone now before we can get him.

hahaha... well we know you don't want lynch

[esoxx]

I didn't know Lynch was a Packer.

[PackerPro42]

He's not right now, but if all things go right he will be.

[BallHawk]

Yes! He ran a fast 40 time. All in the world is good! Yes!

[PackerPro42]

I sense a bit of sarcasm in your voice, and I agree that the 40 time is over rated, but there is no doubting that Lynch is a good player.

I think he'll run a 4.45 or so. He didn't look as fast as he said he was. He's a good player though. He's big, tough, pretty fast, explosive, quick.

I'd rather have defense, but if the best player is Lynch; I'm OK with it. Leon Hall would be a good pick too. He might drop to us.

It wasn't sarcasm, I genuinely happy Lynch ran a fast 40. This should raise his draft status and make him off the board my 16.

Well considering the 40 hasn't even been run at the combine yet, you shouldn't be celebrating quite yet.

Guys, guys, guys...no need to be sarcastic....I'm sure whoever the Packers take #1 in the draft, everyone here will be praising them.

"He's an awfully good football player," Green Bay running backs coach Edgar Bennett said of Lynch. "Explosive player. Tough. Runs with power. He can catch. He can do it all."


Uh Oh.......Sorry to break it to all Lynch haters but he just got the gold standard in compliments from someone within the Packers orgaanization. Is it just me or does Benett's comments sound an awfull lot like a TT post draft pick interview?

The Packers are bound and determined to take "Good football players" first. This is evidnece that they feel Marshawn Lynch is one of those.

I read alot between the lines here. I think they have him high on thier board. From this point forward; unless Lynch pulls some stupid crap, I have him as my predicted pick for the Packers. Him or Hall is my guess.

[BallHawk]

If Lynch wasn't such a dumbass, than maybe, just maybe, I'd change my mind about him. However, he is as dumb as a sack of rocks. That really puts me off.

And there certainly is some merit to this line of thinking. I'm a really big non-fan of idiots playing football. RB isn't historically a position that requires intelligence IMO so that alone doesn't put me off in this case. It's his character issues that scare me. You can't really play football when your in jail for smacking a stripper.
