For this pick, we wanted to supplement our offense, and provide some depth. We looked to a second RB, as Jamaal Charles, as excellent a player as he is, does have some injury history. When doing some legwork, we found someone we felt was excellent value at this stage in the draft. In his second year in the league last year, this former first round pick finished inside the top-20 in the league in DYAR, DVOA, and Success Rate, and did not record a fumble last year in 156 rushing attempts. And while we recognize that those statistics can be swung by smaller sample size, we felt like our pick has the potential to back it up. He had a very successful college career, was highly regarded coming out, and won the Heisman.
So, with the 29th pick in the 25th round, the Green Bay Packers are pleased to select
Mark Ingram, RB
