It's a bit doom and gloom. We won't make a trade. Not for the cost. The FA RBs all have their warts. If we wait until the draft, then that's one less pick to use on other needs--which we still have (TE, S, CB, WR, possibly LB).

What's this do for the Texans, Dominick Williams(Davis)? Are they going to keep him and green? Wasn't it last year or the year before they paid him some big money? I know he messed up his knee last year, but if he's going to be healthy he'd be a great back for Green Bay, with his running and receiving ability. Either way if the Texans release him he'd be worth a shot with an incentive laden deal.Comment

Nobody has really mentioned D.Foster of Carolina yet. With the emergence of Williams as the main guy going into this year compiled with Foster's high salary and low durability....AND Carolina's depth at RB....Foster may be a guy who is cut after June 1. If that's the case, the Packers could do well to take a look at him. He's always been good. The guy just can't stay healthy.
The interesting thing is who will be the pounder next year? Morency isn't a pounder. Depending on who the Packers add to their RB stable, they may need a guy who can pound out the 1 yard runs.Life is a puzzle. Every day you get up and pick up the pieces from the day before.

Agreed. I don't know that his 'happy feet' are that bad, but it seems his concentration watching the ball into his hands is not good. Signing him would be the end of that screen play we all love watching so much.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers--

I believe that Morency has the skills to get the job done. With a training camp under his belt, he'll have a fine season.All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!Comment

Forgot about McGahee. Anyone hear why the Bills are shopping him? This confuses me - unless they want to make the ATrain a starter?
I think he would be a nice fit. Will certainly command a first day pick, however.--

It would be so dumb for packers to trade for McGahee when we could of just signed AG and keep all our draft picks. Trading for a RB would make no sense to me what so ever.Originally posted by GuinessDraft Brandin Cooks WR OSU!Comment

Yeah...trading for a guy 5 years younger than Green, and a better fit for the zone system would be a dumb idea....Originally posted by PaCkFan_n_MD

In the beginning of next season McGahee will be 27, so in about two years everyone is going to be talking about how we need to draft a younger back. If you keep AG, either this year or next you could draft a young back to play behind green for a year. That way you have Green and your future. If you trade for McGahee you have to give up a high pick for him and in about 2 years use another high pick on a RB.

McGahee is overrated, though. I question his toughness, big time.Originally posted by ND72Yeah...trading for a guy 5 years younger than Green, and a better fit for the zone system would be a dumb idea....Originally posted by PaCkFan_n_MDComment

Yep, he had far more big plays than Green last year.Originally posted by ND72Comment

These guys seem to have my back here. Morency showed great vision and good instincts when given the chance last year. You could see it in his play, that's logical enough. Just as it's logical that the OL will be better run blockers this year after having time to adjust to the new scheme, Morency will be better with having more time and reps.Originally posted by Partial
I just fail to see why we need to completely reinvent the wheel at RB when we already have a pretty good one for the system. I'm not advocating against drafting a RB or signing one in FA, but to completely discount him in the offensive gameplan as a legit option is foolish.All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!Comment

They will need to bring someone in to split carries.Originally posted by Cheesehead Craig
No sense in drafting an 8.0 prospect like Lynch at 20 when we can land a 9.5 prospect at 20 next year in the deepest running back draft ever.
