should we expect Ted Thompson to look at Peyton Hillis now?

I think it's either him or a draft pick.

(or both)

I just dont see us being able to continue with our current crop of backs.

Let's hope not.

He's still going on that 2010 season with the Browns. From there on out he's been little more than a locker room cancer, without any real production.

I don't think Benson will produce big time for us, but still, I'd rather have him than Hillis.

It would be a gigantic reach to think he could do anything for the Packers backfield. I consider him to be a Kuhn 2.0

Steven Jackson was the main free agent exception at this position, imo.

The Packers should focus on a runningback in the draft and could land a decent starter, even in round 3.

I rather take a look at Ahmad Bradshaw.

Agree with draft pick and players on current roster.

Packers have got to catch a break one of these years and have their rb's stay healthy!!!

Missing Jackson hurts, but overpaying for a guy who might not produce would hurt worse. The business end of the NFL sucks.

I'd look at Hillis, but only if he's willing to move to FB.

I can't see Hillis doing much better behind our OL than our current group--I just don't see him as much of an improvement, if any.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : @JoeJHoyt Murphy said he’s been told he won’t slide past pick No. 16.

wpr (12h) : Just about time to watch Sonny Weaver stick it to the seahags. I never get tired of it.

Martha Careful (12h) : *game plan

Martha Careful (13h) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (16h) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.

Zero2Cool (18-Apr) : Packers sign T Andre Dillard.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : Adds most of the information this time of year comes from agents.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : @RealAlexBarth Bill Belichick says accurate draft information doesn't leak from teams until about 12 hours before the draft. Adds most of th
