I think it depends what you mean by #2. #2 RB when Jacobs is healthy? Absolutely Dillon A #2 guy that you feel good giving a bulk of the carries if Jacobs is dinged up? This is where I'd rather have a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they really like Wilson too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refugee Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 We’ll see how high they take a back this year. If they want a Bucky Irving type or want to continue with a stable of bruisers. I hope we have at least one guy in there who has blazing speed as a change up. The way I see it, OL will get some priority picks but all offense will be luxury this year and hope it’s truly BPA when use our picks there. Defense will be getting a major infusion and I hope Hafley, Gute and the draft are all right in tune. By this time next week, we will be discussing a whole bunch of new Packers. Pretty damn exciting!

beekay414 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I think Estime's testing doesn't translate to his tape honestly. He plays faster than his testing. He's way better in pads IMO. That and he's a ******* monster when the box is loaded. He's going to be the back that shocks from this class. He's got great feet in tight and he's what we thought AJ Dillon would've been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I think our staff views RB2 as one of the most upgradeable significant roles on this team and will draft accordingly if the right value is there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieHigh Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) I like ajd and think it will be the best year of his career. I doubt he is a packer next year. Would love bucky, shipley, wright, guerendo. Fine with corum, benson, davis. Two would be totally good by me Edited April 20 by HokieHigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both redundant with Dillon back, and Jacobs is also a capable power back. In my mind, I want a different kind of back to complete the room.

Gute doesn't draft with one year plans in mind. Jacobs is much better as an elusive back than a power back and Estime has the ability to supplant Dillon as RB2 and the true power back. There's no reason to think that Estime couldn't be the thunder and Jacobs the lightning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 If we're talking big backs, Ray Davis >>> Estime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFLGURU Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) What do you guys think of RB Marshawn Lloyd, USC.? I like the stop and start, and he's got a little wiggle. I can see him as a weapon. Just don't know if he has the power they like. He's got a little Josh Jacobs in him. Edited April 20 by NFLGURU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I think we just look for different things @Packerraymond and that's more than fine. That's what makes this whole process fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean with the Jacobs comp, that was my first thought watching him the first time. My concern is he bounces outside too much for my liking for a RB his size, he needs to do better running through the middle. I like him, a decent all-round RB, just not elite at one thing imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
