Packer running backs: dog meat

[Partial]

When Dallas drafts Darrien McFadden with Clevelands #1 pick that we passed on to take Justin Harrell...I might be angry.

You think a #15-18 and a #28ish are going to be enough to trade up to #1? I sure don't.

Does that mean Julius Jones will be available?

Or Marion Barber III?

Julius Jones isn't a bad player. Marion Barber is just better. I think Barber is one of the best RBs in the league.

I like Wynn's chances of succeeding in the NFL. My frustration is just with the injuries. In my mind, he's clearly the best of the 4.

Wynn officially named No. 1 RB
By JASON WILDE

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — It's official. Until further notice, DeShawn Wynn is unquestionably the Green Bay Packers' starting running back, no matter what durability concerns the team might have about the rookie seventh-round pick.

Coach Mike McCarthy made that clear after Wynn took part in all phases of Thursday's practice after suffering "neck spasms" earlier in the week that threatened his availability for Monday night's game against the Denver Broncos at Invesco Field.

"He's in the No. 1 slot right now. He has an opportunity to take it and do something with it," McCarthy said in Green Bay following practice. "We'll see what he can do."

Asked about Wynn's latest injury, which follows calf and quadriceps strains as well as a stomach virus and dehydration-related cramps, McCarthy replied, "We can all overreact to that. He's done a good job. He's been a professional. He's been on time. He's done all the things that are asked of him as far as the weight room, training room and so forth. He had a neck spasm. It happens. This (injury) is not a reflection of anything that's happened in the past."

For his part, Wynn seems to recognize the opportunity before him.

"Kind of a dream come true, being a seventh-round pick and getting to start a few games," said Wynn, who leads the NFL's worst-ranked rushing offense with 202 yards and four touchdowns. "It's definitely something I can't get complacent with."
