Packers' Running Back Draft Dilemma

On April 3rd, Packers fans been buzzing about nose tackles and cornerbacks, but running back

to F is flying way under the radar. They got Josh Jacobs locked in as the starter,

and Chris Brooks handling third-down duty solid, but no proven backup on the roster right now.

Heading into 2026, banking on rookies like Marshawn Lloyd or Damian Martinez to step up,

feels risky. That leaves the team eyeing the 2026 NFL draft class, even if it's a quirky group

running back. Top prospect Jeremiah Love stands out, but plenty of others could fill a back

a role despite some flaws, perfect for competition without chasing. Perfection, year 1. Talk

around town has folks debating a green base should prioritize need or best player available,

like the Seahawks been doing lately with solid results. Historical Packers grates like Clark

Kinkle and Paul Hornung show versatility wins, and fans want that same edge now. Recent breakdowns

highlight nine prospects, matching green base college production benchmarks, plus some veteran

free agents to watch for quick ads. It's all about injecting competition into that backfield,

sooner than later. With Jacobs' contract winding down by 2027, drafting smart now sets up the

future, keeping the Packers ground game humming no matter. What? That wraps NFL news today,
