Marshawn Lynch???

[ghst187]

Say the Packers pass on him (all the mocks I've seen have the Pack taking him and Houston taking Adrian Peterson)...and Lynch is available to us when we pick...should we take him?

My thought is yes and trade away JJ.
After he and Peterson, I think there is a chasm drop off in talent at the RB position this year in the draft.

If we have an opportunity to get a guy who is a top notch, complete RB - I say don';t pass it up again. It's evident now that we were fools for passing on Steven Jackson, and I'd hate to make that mistake again. That's my opinion, and it's based alot on my preference for a one dominant back system. That said, both team's playing next weekend run a two back system. So I'm probably a moron. I just can't forgot the euphoria I was feeling on draft day three years ago as Jackson dropped....and dropped.....and dropped....and how crushed I was when we traded down. I don't know nearly as much about Lynch as I did Jackson, but if he's the real deal, we have to make thta move. There's just no other position besides corner and WR where a pick makes sense for our team at our spot.

Actually all 4 teams in the finals ran a 2 back system. Very few teams run a one back offense anymore. The wear and tear on the backs is just to much, especially in the NFC East. No way do I draft a RB in the 1-5 rds when we have more glaring needs at this point. JJ and MB3 were effective this year. I would like to see that tandem at least one more year, and then make a decision.

I think it's more because finding a guy who can handle that pounding is so rare anymore. There are precious few Jackson, Gore, Johnson and Tomlinson's in the league. If Lynch is a guy like that, I can;t say no to him. I'm a sucker for Emmitt's.

I don't think we draft an RB this year. Let Garrett implement his system, which I'm guessing will be a lot like Norv's. If so, the RBs will be used immensely. If JuJo still does't produce, then I would go after one of the top backs next year. You gotta think, JuJos problems the last few years really hasn't been him. I think it had more to do with Bill. Was Ware's problems on him, or how BP used? Something to think about.

Let's be honest. No matter how much Bill "tried to hold Ware back", Ware's talent is too great to keep from shining through. Even without the sacks, he was still a playmaker. The same can't be said for Julius. He's shredded some bad defenses, and every once in a while he has a wow game, but it's not like this superior talent is sitting there waiting to be unleashed, and that's evident on gameday. On gameday, Julius looks like what he is - a pretty average back capable of an occasional great game. Maybe in a different blocking system he'd do better, but we;ve tried at least two, haven't we?

Sooner or later that shine's gotta come off that rookie season highlight vid, where JJ torched some of the worst defenses in the league. And that's not on Bill.

We have bigger problems on our team that need immediate addressing. We can win a super bowl with the JJ/Barber combo IMHO.
