Re: 4th rd pick Samaje Perine
 

I like the pick but he is inline with the make up of our existing rb core outside of Chris Thompson. Kelly, Mack, and Perine are all similar type backs...I think we lack a more dynamic 1-2 down runners.

That being said, I think a makeup of a physical,bruising power run game isn't bad. But not the best pass catching group and certainly the speed out the backfield will not threaten teams that have a hard time containing that speed on the edges, off tackle. Picky but just an observation

You need to go whip yourself up a punch bowl of kool-aid!!

Re: 4th rd pick Samaje Perine
 

This is clearly a pass first offense anyway. The backs need to score and pick up first downs. I like adding another physical runner, in fact this guy is more of a bruiser than Kelley.

Well the one aspect in which I agree with you is Rob and Perine are both between the tackles guys, not homerun guys. But Perine is different, he is the only one of the bunch that can move a LB backwards in the hole. He can make a yard when there are none there. It's a perfect red zone solution, we have been so poor at punching it in on goal lines, finally now we can do it.

Seriously watch the highlights Matty posted. Dude smashes face.

Perine could wrestle the job away from Kelley at some point.

First 4 picks are solid in my opinion!!!!!!!!

I agree. Packer fans on NFL.com wanted him real bad. We are doing well thus far in this draft.

Not a burner, but the stiff arm is back! Kid has lots of YAC. Looks tough. Granted, these are highlights, but he sure breaks a lot of tackles.

The guy did 30 on the BP, now they should be able to run on 3rd and short. And in the red zone...... #$%& the fade pass from the 2 yard line, it is time for some smash mouth football.

Re: 4th rd pick Samaje Perine
 

those long runs remind me of riggins, they way he takes awhile to reach top speed. while he may lack acceleration, his top speed is not bad.

looks like an animal! i love this pick.

Re: 4th rd pick Samaje Perine
 

Yes, he appears to break tackles very well.
He should be good on the goal line and on 3rd and one.

Re: 4th rd pick Samaje Perine
 

Great player , just might be a fan favorite by years end !

I really didn't know this kid but damn he is like a bull in a china shop, busting and breaking. Can't wait to see him in his first preseason game.
