A RB for the Packers? Packers have Aaron Jones & Jamaal Williams already, so another questionable pick for the Packers. But hey I'll take it.

According to Rotoworld: This is suddenly a very crowded backfield between Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards, Justice Hill and now Dobbins. Of course, the rookie should see a handful of touches per game at a minimum. Dobbins (5’9/209) was a three-year starter who broke the Ohio State rushing record (2,003 yards) as a true junior last season, finishing his collegiate career with a hefty 796 touches from scrimmage. Although he declined to participate in on-field workouts with a lingering ankle injury at Indy's combine, he previously tested as a 99th-percentile SPARQ freak at Nike's 'Opening Finals' drills out of high school. Dobbins led this class in 20-plus yard gains (20) on the ground, finding the end zone a whopping 21 times due to his speed and power as a true three-down bell-cow. He also has proven upside as a receiver given his 22 receptions in all three years with the Buckeyes. An elusive runner in space, Dobbins profiles as an every-down Offensive Rookie of the Year contender if he can surpass Ingram on the depth chart sooner rather than later.

Hollywood started good, but he did not exactly finish well. Ferguson was a starter by the end of the season, and the team clearly has confidence in Boykin.

I'd argue Hollywood finished stronger than nearly everyone else in one way - he was one of maybe two guys that looked like they actually wanted to play against TEN.

Its not going to be that crowded. Either one of the backs gets hurt, or either Hill or Edwards is the odd man out. Neither is a guy you lose any sleep over, so its really irrelevant.
