				<title><![CDATA[Final Fantasy Thoughts from the Draft]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Fantasy_Football_Weekly/R/1203</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Rounds two and beyond appear to have held alot more of the fantasy fireworks people were hoping for.&nbsp; I expect some immediate impact from a number of picks. Just like last year where Trent Richardson, Doug Martin, and Alfred Morris were all extremely strong in their rookie season, this year we saw some blockbuster talent landing on loaded rosters, meaning another potentially strong rookie class of running backs to fill out your fantasy roster.



We start in Wisconsin with our favorite two picks of the draft:&nbsp; one player arriving, and another leaving...



Packers fans, say hello to a running game!&nbsp; And I don&#39;t mean the stranglehold Aaron Rodgers has had on leading rushing yards and TD&#39;s for the green and gold...Obviously, Eddie Lacy is a top talent at the position, and was rated #1 on most people&#39;s boards.&nbsp; Given the devaluing of the running back in the draft, he fell to the end of the second round.&nbsp; He has a big frame, but according to Mike Mccarthy, has quick enough feet to be elusive and dangerous in the open field.&nbsp; Given the potency of the Packers&#39; passing attack, their frequent visits to the red zone, as well as the likelihood that they will be in the lead late in games and handing the ball off, Lacey will be worth selecting as high as round five (round two in Packerland).&nbsp; There are some negatives here. He comes with built in rookie competition from UCLA&#39;s Jonathon Franklin.&nbsp; Anyone who watched how the Rams rookies Daryl Richardson and Isaiah Pead battle it out last year know that the higher pick doesn&#39;t always win.&nbsp; And then there&#39;s the fact that the Packers sometimes just don&#39;t run the ball.&nbsp; There are games he will disappear, which is why I devalue him to a low RB2 or a high flex option.&nbsp; Finally, there is the injury concern which is perhaps why he fell this low.&nbsp;



Montee Ball heads west, and there is gold in them there hills!&nbsp; Ball&#39;s versatility and his nose for the endzone could mean big things.&nbsp; This is going to be seen as a committee heading into the season given the presence of veteran McGahee, the emergence of Knowshon Moreno last year, and the second year back Ronnie Hillman.&nbsp; But alot can happen here.&nbsp; McGahee is old, and perhaps a release is imminent.&nbsp; Moreno was strong down the stretch, but is just one injury away from the PUP list.&nbsp; And Hillman appears to have taken on the third-down back role.&nbsp; All Ball has to do is show some pop early and prove his nose for the end-zone in college translates to the NFL.&nbsp; This has Alred Morris upside if he establishes himself, and given his pass-catching ability, possibly more if he proves he can protect Peyton Manning on third down.&nbsp; I&#39;d draft him as high as the 6th round if the cards fall just right, 8th round if there is enough potential, and as low as the 12th round if the backfield is still a mess heading into week 1.&nbsp; That said, he should be drafted in every league for the TD potential alone.



I like the Bengals to be on a run in the NFL for the next 3 years, they have invested wisely with talent at the skill positions, the division is weakened, they have an underrated defense, and they just added a versatile and dangerous back to their offensive mix.&nbsp; Giovani Bernard posses David Wilson type talent, and will see the field mostly on third down in his rookie year.&nbsp; He won&#39;t necessarily light up the scoreboard, but he&#39;ll get enough action early on to be worth a flex option and even a starting back on your bye-weeks.&nbsp; He&#39;ll be a late round pick, but worth owning.&nbsp; Keeper leagues will want to invest here as well as Green Ellis&#39;s time as an effective running back are probably coming to a close within two years.



Pittsburgh drafted another Pittsburgh-style running back, and I don&#39;t mean that in a good way.&nbsp; The good thing about Le&#39;Veon Bell is he is drafted into a situation where he could be the every down back.&nbsp; That said, he is pretty large, but so are Redman and Dwyer.&nbsp; He&#39;s not overly quick, but neither are Redman and Dwyer.&nbsp; He&#39;s not overly powerful, but neither are Redman and Dwyer.&nbsp; In other words, I really don&#39;t know why they took this guy, except to replace the underwhelming Rashard Mendenhall with a replica of...Rashard Mendenhall.&nbsp; This situation will be murky, and unless something big happens I&#39;d be nervous taking Bell unless the price is right.&nbsp;



Of the receivers drafted on days 2 and 3, I&#39;m of a wait-and see approach mostly, but I like the potential of Robert Woods in Buffalo.&nbsp; They did nothing to help their defense, so their passing offense is going to have to open up, and Woods with his end-zone ability will have some good rookie games.&nbsp; I also see potential for Aaron Dobson.&nbsp; He has some circus catch athleticism, but he&#39;ll have to take some time and get on the same page with Brady, and he&#39;s behind a strong frontline, meaning he&#39;ll be in on 4 receiver sets which I guess isn&#39;t that unusual in New England.&nbsp; Two years we&#39;ll be looking his way to carry the Patriots passing game torch.&nbsp; One other to note is Keenan Williams who stays in southern California joining the Chargers.&nbsp; He has a quick route to playing time with a weak roster at WR and has good route running and hands.&nbsp; If Rivers can sort out some accuracy issues, the comparisons to Reggie Wayne will have fantasy owners taking a chance here.&nbsp; Kendall Wright numbers could be in store in season one, with potential for stardom in the future.



Other notes:&nbsp; How did the Panthers not draft a WR????&nbsp; Marcus Lattimore to the 49&#39;ers is so freaking scary for the rest of the league.&nbsp; Gore is getting old, they already took the explosive Lamichael James who showed flashes in the playoffs, 2014 will the year of Marcus Lattimore.&nbsp; And finally, what the heck are the Cowboys thinking?]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Turkey Update]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Living_the_OutDoors/R/1202</link>
				<description><![CDATA[I spent 3 days last week in the turkey blind. It seemed that the Gobblers were pretty HENNED up. What I mean by that is they roost with the hens, they feed with the hens and they follow them all day long. The challenge this presents is trying to call them in. They just won&#39;t leave their flock of hens. Since I was hunting with a bow I had to try to get them to come to me. I focused on calling to the hens in hoping that a Gobblre would be in tow, which doesn&#39;t always happen. I feel that the weather has delayed the nesting by a couple weeks. Due to snow still on the ground the hens don&#39;t seem to want to build a nest. The next couple of weeks could be very productive as the hens leave the Gobblers to lay their eggs. This leaves them lonesome and easier to call in. I plan to get out over the next couple of weeks to get a shot at a Gobbler.



HUNT SAFE HUNT HARD AND RESPECT THE OUTDOORS.&nbsp;]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Draft Day One Fantasy Fallout]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Fantasy_Football_Weekly/R/1200</link>
				<description><![CDATA[I&#39;m not a big fan of guessing.&nbsp; That&#39;s why the NCAA office bracket challenges have never really been my thing.&nbsp; The &quot;experts&quot; are mostly wrong, so what chance do I have?&nbsp; Same goes for &quot;mock drafts&quot; when it comes to the NFL draft, especially this year when so much of the talent was nearly even and the only difference was either team need or a hunch that separated one guy from another.&nbsp; Well, now that the guessing is over, we can take a look at the landscape of a few teams that helped their cause in last night&#39;s draft with an eye towards keeper leagues.



Of the guys drafted last night, the fit I liked best was DeAndre Hopkins to the Texans.&nbsp; It has been a known need that they have half-heartedly attempted to fill, but I think THIS is finally a guy to even out the defensive attention given to Andre Johnson and the running game led by Arian Foster.&nbsp; Hopkins is a solid route runner with good hands and has some red-zone dynamism to him.&nbsp; He&#39;ll have a couple of years to thrive under single coverage until Andre Johnson&#39;s slow down is a reality, and comparisons to Roddy White have my ears perked!&nbsp; In his rookie season I like his chances of a Justin Blackmon-like 900 yds with 5-7 scores, and after that, look for 1200 yds and 9 or 10 td&#39;s in years to come.



Tavon Austin has strong potential for NFL stardom, and over the last couple of weeks, NFL teams were falling over themselves for a chance to add his versatility to their offense and special teams.&nbsp; People compared his skill set to Percy Harvin, but his body type is more like Darren Sproles.&nbsp; So reality is probably somewhere in between when it comes to his strength/speed combo.&nbsp; Look for him to make an impact in his first year contributing in the run and pass game for maybe a total of 1100 yards and a handful of scores, and eventually to post stat lines boasting in excess of 1500 total yards.&nbsp; The real bummer here is the St. Louis Rams offense as a whole, but look for all of these young players to come into form together in two or three years.&nbsp;



Cordarelle Patterson was all the rage after the combine, showing up in some top-5 overall talent lists.&nbsp; But the shine came off the star as people went back to the tape and saw better in-game performance from his Tennessee counterpart Justin Hunter.&nbsp; Patterson has a good frame with great football instincts with the ball in his hands, but is rough on routes and may be diva-ish in the brain department.&nbsp; Still, the raw skills had teams going ga-ga in Indy, so maybe the Vikings were correct in risking their middle round picks to add him to balance their pass threats opposive Jennings.&nbsp; He&#39;s not worth drafting immediately, but someone to keep an eye on.&nbsp; He seems like a prototypical &quot;third year breakout&quot; or a bust if the Vikings QB progresses proportionally.&nbsp; His return ability is nice for real football in replacing Harvin, but doesn&#39;t do much for fantasy purposes.



Finally, E.J. Manuel seems like another guy we&#39;ll be talking about eventually, but right now at the deepest position in fantasy football, there just isn&#39;t much here in the immediate future.&nbsp; His prospects into his college career were high, he was solid at Florida State and had higher stock then Christian Ponder in most scouts&#39; minds, but that isn&#39;t really saying much.&nbsp; He has a good arm, makes good decisions with the ball, but he will be watching Kevin Kolb play football for his first year or two while he develops.&nbsp; Expect the Bills to be picking high again in next years draft as they continue to infuse young talent around their key skill players like Manuel and Spiller.



Tyler Eifert was the top TE in this draft, a mammoth from what has become a hotbed for TE&#39;s in Notre Dame.&nbsp; He was too good for the Bengals to pass up, and he will be a sneaky option given Jermaine Gresham&#39;s benign contributions to the Bengals offense.&nbsp; He&#39;ll be a bye-week fill in this year similar to how Coby Fleener was this year, but will be draftable next year on a potentially powerful offense.&nbsp; Look for the Bengals to draft an impact RB in day two.



Other teams that invested first round picks in offensive line could help the case of their offense as well.&nbsp; The Chiefs, Jacksonville, Philly, and Arizona all had HUGE needs on the offensive line, and their investment in the picks will help keep their QB&#39;s healthier and their running games more potent.&nbsp; Don&#39;t sleep on Jones Drew, Mccoy, and the Arizona and Chiefs passing games next year, they should all improve.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: Florida International Safety Jonathan Cyprien]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1199</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Jonathan Cyprien surprised a lot of people when he was invited to the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.&nbsp; He was thought of as a late round guy so the invite didn&#39;t make sense.&nbsp; Once he got on the practice field, he turned heads.&nbsp; Cyprien has a chance to be a good one in the NFL.&nbsp; He sounds like a hybrid of the other safeties in the first two rounds which could either be a good thing or a bad thing.



Here is my conversation with David Neal of the Miami Herald on Cyrpien



When talking about Cyrpien and Green Bay, his school stands out.&nbsp; Florida International.&nbsp; With Darren Sharper (William &amp; Mary) and Nick Collins (Bethune Cookman) two of the more successful Packer safeties of late, one has to think another small school guy can do it, right?&nbsp; I could see him getting picked at #26.

				<description><![CDATA[Elam is a guy that if you have seen him play you absolutely loves what he brings.&nbsp; He plays like a guy that you would want on your side if you ever got into a fight.&nbsp; Elam&#39;s 4-picks and 5-passes broken up in 2012 put some numbers on his resume to go with the tape that shows his play.&nbsp; His downsize is his size.&nbsp; At under 5&#39; 10&quot;, can he match up to the height he will see in the NFL?



Here is my coversation with Cody Jones of FightinGators.com on Elam



I would be SHOCKED if the Packers picked Elam.&nbsp; As much praise as he has gotten, and deservingly so, if there is a GM in Football that takes guys off his board for being undersized it is Ted Thompson.&nbsp; With guys like Eric Reid and Jonathan Cyprien fitting the physical mold, Elam shouldn&#39;t have to worry if Green Bay isn&#39;t an ideal destination for him.

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: Ohio State DT Jonathan Hankins]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1192</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Hankins is a big dude.&nbsp; Hands down.&nbsp; His size and stature screams NT in a 3-4 defense.&nbsp; Hankins has the ability to be a run stopper and space eater for one of the many 3-4 teams in the league.&nbsp; On top of that, he does have play making ability which is always a bonus.&nbsp; On the flip side, defensive lineman have been some of the big busts that show up in the NFL, always something to keep in mind.&nbsp;



Here is my conversation with Ben Axelrod of BuckeyeGrove.com on Hankins



YES!&nbsp; I believe he is going to be the guy the Packers pull the trigger on in the first round.&nbsp; With Ryan Pickett getting up there in years and B.J Raji entering the final year of his contract, defensive line, specifically nose tackle, is going to be a big need.&nbsp; Hankins is an anchor.&nbsp; I think they go in this direction.

				<description><![CDATA[Eric Reid is one of the three safeties in the &quot;not Kenny Vaccaro&quot; group.&nbsp; His size is optimal for a safety in today&#39;s NFL that is being put up against&nbsp; the big, athletic TEs that are taking over the league.&nbsp; His interception numbers weren&#39;t overly impressive at just 6 in 39-games, but he as a nose for the football.&nbsp; 91-tackles last season and 7-passes defended definitely shine for Reid.



Here is my conversation with Ben Love of Tiger Post on Reid



If the Packers pulled the trigger on Reid in the first round, I don&#39;t think it would be over picking cause I believe that he would not make it to them in round 2.&nbsp; For a while, some felt they could trade back and get him but when he, Matt Elam or Jonathan Cyprien gets picked, I think we will see a run.&nbsp; Reid couldn&#39;t help the Packers from day one.

				<description><![CDATA[Williams story is pretty neat.&nbsp; With his lack of football experience in his youth, the fact that he has ascended to this level is very impressive.&nbsp; Some other DTs are in the same category, however,&nbsp; you have to take into account the kid played at ALABAMA! Top level talent around him helped, but just getting on the field there shows how legit he is.&nbsp;



Here is my conversation with Kirk McNair of Bama Magazine on Williams



Just like every other defensive lineman that appears to be a 3-4 fit, I can&#39;t say I would be surprised if the Packers called his name.&nbsp; His athleticism definitely stands out from his rugby days in Australia.&nbsp; Out of all the big lineman, he reminds me the most of B.J Raji which could be a good think for him.&nbsp; His strength and his athleticism together would make me applaud Ted Thompson Friday if Williams is the guy.

				<description><![CDATA[Beefy.&nbsp; At 346-pounds, Jenkins is the biggest of the defensive lineman in the top tier which could make him an ideal fit in a 3-4 defense.&nbsp; Jenkins will have an easy time eating space but will he be able to control his weight?&nbsp; That remains to be seen.&nbsp; Jenkins was once in the 370-380 range.&nbsp; The &quot;lighter&quot; he gets, the more disruptive he can be as he is athletic for a big guy.



Here is my conversation with Jonathan Branch of DawgPost.com on Jenkins



Like all the defensive tackles in this range, it would not be a shock to see Jenkins in Green and Gold.&nbsp; Jenkins, more than the others, could put the future plans of Ted Thompson at the position into focus.&nbsp; B.J Raji is in a contract year and Ryan Pickett&#39;s career is winding down.&nbsp; Jenkins, as a NT, could be the future if the Packers go that way.

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: UNC DT Sylvester Williams]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1194</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Sylvester Williams is another reason why many have been speaking highly of the the defensive lineman available in this draft.&nbsp; Williams does have a couple more questions than some of the guys teams will be debating over on the d-line, however, when someone does start to come into their potential, it can be a great thing.&nbsp; Weight could be an issue but dedication is there.&nbsp; Said to have good &quot;pad level.&quot;



Here is my conversation with Greg Barnes of Inside Carolina on Williams



Williams was a popular choice Thursday morning on mock drafts for the Packers.&nbsp; Most notably, Bob McGinn with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.&nbsp; Williams would add another big body to the depth chart at a position that the Packers have numbers, but may be looking for an upgrade.&nbsp; I could see the Packers pulling the trigger if he is there.

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: UNC RB Giovani Bernard]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1193</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Giovani Bernard is another of the 2nd tier running backs in this draft that will be in the &quot;pick who fits&quot; category.&nbsp; Bernard has great breakaway speed setting himself up for the big play.&nbsp; He was a pretty big prospect signing that left some Tar Heel fans always wanting more.&nbsp; Not sure he will be an every down back in the league but he can definately help some one.



Here is my conversation with Greg Barnes of Inside Carolina on Bernard



I am not sure I see the Packers going with Bernard if he is there in the 3rd round and they are looking at RB.&nbsp; His size seems comparable to Dujaun Harris so Bernard may not be enough of a change up.&nbsp; His pass catching and pass blocking could be too big of question marks although he has made some progress in those spots.

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: Alabama OG Chance Warmack]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1190</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Warmack is just another in the long line of Alabama offensive lineman who will/could start for years in the NFL.&nbsp; When looking at the success of Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy, the big guys up front is where is all starts and Warmack is right there in the mix.&nbsp; At&nbsp; 6&#39;2&quot; and 317-pounds, Warmack is expected to be one of the top guards taken this year.&nbsp;



Here is my conversation with Kirk McNair of BamaMagazine.com on Warmack



Warmack would be a &quot;weird&quot; pick for the Packers, not necessarily in a bad way, though. T.J Lang has played some tackle over the years so maybe a move could be in the works if the Packers feel Warmack is the best way to go in the first round.&nbsp; Green Bay also has a history of moving around offensive lineman as Marshall Newhouse was drafted as a guard and is now at tackle, and they also tried tackles Derrek Sherrod and Bryan Bulaga at guard early on. Chances say no but with TT, you never know.

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: Syracuse OT Justin Pugh]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1189</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Pugh appears to be a solid prospect.&nbsp; People around the Syracuse program have nothing but good things to say about Pugh.&nbsp; His on field play was noticed more in 2012, a lot of it because of the rise of QB Ryan Nassib.&nbsp; He did have a shoulder injury and has &quot;short arms&quot; which seem to be keeping him from entering the top level of OT prospects.



Here is my conversation with John Garcia Jr. of Fox Sports Next on Pugh



As I mention in my conversation with John, I am hearing a lot of the same things I am hearing from Bulaga.&nbsp; If you look at Bulaga&#39;s career thus far, the 2nd coming of Bulaga won&#39;t be a bad thing for whomever drafts them.&nbsp; I am not sure Pugh has the upside for the Packers to spend a 1st round pick on him and it is unlikely he makes down to them in the 2nd round.

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: Florida State OT Menelik Watson]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1188</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Watson could be the boom or bust pick of the offensive tackles in this draft.&nbsp; His athleticism is definitely noticed.&nbsp; However, his football background is thin.&nbsp; If a team has an opportunity to take a risk on the offensive line, he could be a great pick.



Here is my conversation with Gene Williams of Warchant.com on Watson



Watson&#39;s upside and versatility are definitely things that stand-out.&nbsp; Green Bay is in a position where they could potential sit on him for a year and wait until they make a decision on Marshall Newhouse and Derek Sherrod.&nbsp; I am just not sure they put there eggs in a basket of a potential project with a few other needs in the locker room.&nbsp; He could be the guy but I wouldn&#39;t bet on it.

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: Alabama OT D.J Fluker]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1187</link>
				<description><![CDATA[The thing that stands out most about Fluker is his size.&nbsp; At 339-pounds, he is by far the heaviest of the top of the board tackles in the draft.&nbsp; Playing at Alabama can&#39;t hurt him either as he was facing NFL caliber defensive lineman throughout his career.&nbsp; Fluker looks the part of an NFL tackle, the question will be can he play the part.&nbsp;



Here is my coversation with Kirk McNair of BamaMagazine.com on Fluker



If Fluker happened to slip to the Packers at #26, he would be a solid choice.&nbsp; Green Bay has Bryan Bulaga at right tackle, though he has played at left tackle at times.&nbsp; Marshall Newhouse is kind of a wild card.&nbsp; Though he played every snap in 2012, there is questions to whether an upgrade could be made.&nbsp; Newhouse is also in the final year of his contact.&nbsp; OT is not a likely spot for Green Bay, but it would be understood.

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: Stanford TE Zach Ertz]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1186</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Zach Ertz is one of the many members of the Stanford football team that benefited from the team&#39;s success in 2012.&nbsp; In 2010 &amp; 2011, Ertz caught a combined 43-passes for 536-yards.&nbsp; He nearly doubled that production in 2012 catching 69-passes for just a hair under 900-yards.&nbsp; He also found the endzone a career best 6-times in last season.&nbsp; Ertz, a converted WR, has the versatility that a lot of teams are looking for these days with the increased emphasis on the pass in today&#39;s NFL.



Here is my conversation with David Lombardi of TheBootleg.com on Zach Ertz



Ertz and Tyler Eifert of Notre Dame appear to be first round worthy.&nbsp; Green Bay is in an interesting position at TE this year.&nbsp; Jermichael Finley is playing in the final year of his deal and many believe there is no chance that the Packers will resign him.&nbsp; Andrew Quarless is still trying to return from an injury, Tom Crabtree is now in Tampa, and D.J Williams and Ryan Taylor have yet to step up on offense.&nbsp; The Packers could go in this direction, however, I think they have far greater needs to address.

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: USC WR Robert Woods]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1185</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Matt Barkley wasn&#39;t the only USC player to see his stock slip based on 2012.&nbsp; Robert Woods seemed like a lock to be a 1st round pick, maybe even top half, heading into last season.&nbsp; After 111-catches for nearly 1300-yards and 15 scores in 2011, Woods totaled only 76-catches for less than 850-yards and 11-scores.&nbsp; He could be a steal in the 2nd round.



Here is my conversation with Dan Weber of USCFootball.com on USC WR Robert Woods



WR may be more of a luxury than anything for Green Bay.&nbsp; However, with Jermichael Finley and James Jones entering the final years of their contracts, I wouldn&#39;t be shocked if the Packers took one this year.&nbsp; And when I say take one, I am talking early.&nbsp; I am not sure about the first round but if Woods was available in the 2nd round, it would be great value!

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: Stanford RB Stepfan Taylor]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1184</link>
				<description><![CDATA[A lot of what you can say about Wisconsin RB Montee Ball, you can say about Stepfan Taylor.&nbsp; Though he doesn&#39;t have the career numbers as Ball, Taylor was every bit as important to the Stanford offense as Ball was to the Badgers in 2012.&nbsp; Taylor is the model of consistency and may be the &quot;solid&quot; choice of RB group this year.



Here is my conversation with David Lombardi of TheBootleg.com talking about Stanford RB Stepfan Taylor



Taylor would make a lot of sense for the Packers.&nbsp; If Green Bay is going to draft a RB, the consistency of Taylor could be something appetizing to them.&nbsp; I don&#39;t see Taylor going in the frst two rounds and as I have stated with the other RBs, I don&#39;t think the Packers should address RB until the third at the earliest.&nbsp; Taylor may be the perfect pick in the 3rd if the Packers want a RB.&nbsp; Who knows, he could be available in the 4th round.

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: UCLA RB Jonathan Franklin]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1183</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Jonathan Franklin had a huge season in 2012 helping him move up draft boards.&nbsp; Franklin was #7 on the depth chart as a Freshman, but is now just a few days away from latching onto an NFL team.&nbsp; His all-around ability could be something that sets him a part from the rest of the field.



Here is my conversation with Ryan Kartje of the Orange County Register on UCLA RB Jonathan Franklin



I believe Franklin would be a good fit in Green Bay.&nbsp; His pass catching ability (33 in 2012) could make him a dangerous weapon in the Packers offense.&nbsp; Not to mention he compiled over 1700-yards on the ground.&nbsp; Franklin could be a good value if available in the 3rd round.&nbsp;

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: Michigan State RB La'veon Bell]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1182</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Le&#39;veon Bell is a bruiser.&nbsp; At 230-pounds, he joins Alabama&#39;s Eddie Lacy at the top of the physical back list.&nbsp; If you need a guy that pick up the tough yards on 3rd and short or at the goal line, Bell could be an ideal choice.&nbsp; He did come out as a Junior, a move that makes sense for a back that took on as many carries as he did in East Lansing.



Here is my conversation with Dave Berk of Fox Sports Next and Spartan Digest on Michigan State RB Le&#39; veon Bell



Bell, like Lacy or Stanford&#39;s Stepfan Taylor, could be the &quot;Thunder&quot; to Dejaun Harris and his &quot;Lightning&quot; persona.&nbsp; If the Packers are looking at back in the 3rd round and Bell is there, that would make sense.&nbsp; I think 2nd round is too high for him with the Packers needs.

				<title><![CDATA[NFL Prospect Preview: Wisconsin RB Montee Ball]]></title>				<link>http://www.953wsco.com/index.php/On-Air/Blogs/Justin_Hull/R/1181</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Montee Ball came back to Wisconsin for his Senior season much to the surprise of many.&nbsp; Ball&#39;s campaign started slow with much blame going to the offensive line.&nbsp; In the end, Ball likely improved his stock with his play down the stretch and he could be the 2nd back taken this weekend.



Here is my conversation with Benjamin Worgull, the Publisher of BadgerNation.com, on Wisconsin RB Montee Ball



I am curious what the Packers would do if Ball was still on the board for them in the 2nd round.&nbsp; I am sure it would be a popular pick among Packer fans seeing that he is a Wisconsin guy.&nbsp; However, how would he fit in this offense?&nbsp; I think by waiting until the 3rd or 4th round, the value there at the position would be better than snatching Ball.
