Lynch out; Henry in?

[PackerPro42]

I know there will be a lot of updated mock draft over the next 8 weeks, but I just saw one on Fox that has GB draft TE Olson at 16 and Lynch dropping to 20. Seems like to some Lynch's stock has fallen.

As it should, Lynch did nothing impressive against big defenses, go back and watch the highlight tapes. The 2 games I personally saw him in I was not impressed at all.

The Pack needs to go with either one of the top WR's(unless Landry or Okoye is there) like Meachem or Bowe.

Pittman and Irons both ran 4.3-4.4's at the combine and would be great value picks in the 2nd round, or we could go safety in the 2nd round with Weddle/Merriweather/Wendling.

The fact is we'll be sitting pretty at 16 in the first and second rounds, with a lot of nice options to choose from. Penciling us in at just one pick is absurd.

Lynch actually ran a 4.46 at the combine, just to let everyone know. IDK if you guys knew that or not so I thought I would clarify.

lynch actually did nothing to hurt his standing, if you actually watched the combine.

Actually, some disagree with this. He certainly ran well. I read the following article and another I can't find now that said Lynch was a "combine loser."

Dropped a little ...

2. Marshawn Lynch, Cal, RB

Another who came to Indy as his position's number two and faltered a little. This is the time of year when teams start poking holes in players and Lynch, who could be a splendid receiver at his position in the NFL, slipped a little because he trailed guys like Henry and Auburn's Kenny Irons in several categories.

There is no question that Lynch may fit some team's west-coast offense, but he doesn't look like a Top 20 player today. His up-right running style is being criticized now, too.

see, its all from fox sports. i've seen a few people today mention this when talking about lynch sliding. one source says they didn't like lynch, and now everyone jumps on saying he had a horrible combine, and now he's sliding

i don't know, i didn't see this horrible performance that fox sports saw

No, there was another one from a completely different site.

I think the only reason they said he slipped a little bit because he came into the combine expecting to run a 4.3 40 time. He came in and ran a tenth of a second slower and everyone said he had a horrible combine. Sure none of his numbers really stuck out like some of these third string RB's but his workout was by no means bad. I was one of the people that got caght up a lot last year in combine results and it sounds that a lot of you are making the same mistake this year.

He had a fine combine. It didn't boost him but it certainly didn't lower his standing with people. If he ran a 4.7-5.3 then i'd be worried, but I don't think that extra tenth really means a whole lot in the eyes of GMs.

I'd feel better about picking Lynch if we could trade down a few spots to pick up another 3rd or 4th round pick and still get him with a later pick in the first round.

I don't think anybody was expecting him to run a 4.3, but I think what hurt him most was people are bringing up the fact more about his upright running style. That could hurt him.

if this was the case, then it would prove that every single "expert" out there doesn't have a clue what they're talking about, because they never watch game film.

this would be something anyone could notice if they ever watched him play one time

This happens every year. I'll take on field production over combine numbers any day of the week. Lynch is a damn good running back.

Yup !

Just ask PackerPro42.

He's got more love on for M. Lynch than I have for Brett Favre.
