Why the Green Bay Packers got the best running back in the 2024 NFL Draft

No one loves Senior Bowl players like Brian Gutekunst and he went back to the well in 2024's draft. So we thought it was only fitting to have Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy on to talk about this class of players, where he thinks Jordan Morgan fits best and why he thinks MarShawn Lloyd is the best running back in the class.

The Green Bay Packers could have the best runningback room in football. Josh Jacobs was the NFL rushing champion a little over 1 year ago, and he is now joined by Marshawn Lloyd, who was named the best runningback in the 2024 NFL draft class by NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah. Marshawn Lloyd is a home-run hitter with great athleticism and speed, and he has drawn comparisons to Aaron Jones. Marshawn Lloyd is an ideal complement for Josh Jacobs. Along with AJ Dillion, this is an excellent backfield. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛

[@lonegrimo6098]

Hopefully they can cut down on Lloyd fumbling the ball.

[@dominicfm2189]

No room is better than ATLs

[@TheEconomicEqualizer]

That's a Fact!

[@TheEconomicEqualizer]

​@@dominicfm2189in our offense, Jacobs will get back to who he was 2 years ago which was #1 and Marshawn will be the Heir Apparent

[@myfriendstutta]

@@dominicfm2189Josh Jacobs is a better rb than bijan

[@TheEconomicEqualizer]

One thing o envied about the Lions is their 1 - 2 punch at RB. They have 2 starters. Now Marshawn gives us potentially the same set up ... Let's Goooooo!

[@lambeausouth1]

Shout out to Jim Nagy thanks for the awesome job you do! 😀

[@user-lm2it4su3m]

The Packers picked all the right positions. If a half dozen pan out, just imagine how could this team can be!

[@CompoundingTime]

Last years draft was so good I was worrying that we would fall back on the trend line but the film leads me to believe that gutey did it again. Players seem to be thinking SB run with 100% OTA attendance (minus the 1 family emergency).

[@normstewart546]

Nagy had a lot of interesting things to say - great guest.

[@paulkaehn6203]

This is always my favorite show of the year. Jim Nagy does such great work

[@Gamerguy-501]

I would say this is a steal! The comparisons he’s got with Jacobs and Swift in him. It makes a ton of sense and he’s got some very good talented skills. Him going against Williams twice a year too will even make things more fun against the Bears! He’s like the fact of doing that and his attitude in interviews is so good. He’s going to be threat to opposing defenses this coming season in the run game at times with Jacobs. Phenomenal pick by the Packers

[@jespowisconsin]

This was excellent!

Very entertaining guy to listen to.

[@stickit2theman1]

This has the potential to be Gute's best draft yet. It could also be even worse than Ted in 2012. Too early to tell obviously but you have to be excited for the upside of this team!

[@SapphicTwist]

BTW, I played and replayed this Aaron Jones highlight tape from 2023, slowed down to half speed, and apart from Josh Myers getting too upright at times and missing second level blocks, Jones had lots of running room on practically every play. Tom, Jenkins, Walker and even Myers totally dominated on these snaps...kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2GUnKFteK-ioaM

[@2323_1]

As long as Lloyd can use his quickness and agility like Aaron Jones in passing situations he'll be on the field.

[@ihcterra4625]

In old school O-line play, arm length is an important factor. For the Packers’ techniques, originally developed by James Campen, arm length is not an important factor. So the Packers can take more talented linemen in the later rounds that other teams don’t want. If that same player went to another team, they would not do as well. You can see a great demonstration of that technique by Bryan Bulaga when he shut down Demarcus Lawrence in 2017.

You guys are gonna be disappointed. He is always injured. He only was the rushing champ when he was looking to get paid with a new contract.

[@JustinHargers-of4tx]

I don't know if you know this about the Packers but if you don't perform you don't play/stay you will be traded asap.. his contract is structured based off his performance

[@SokemRokemRobot]

You said,"David Bahktiari does not have crazy long arms", but 34" arms sure aren't considered short arms.

[@dereckliebscher8240]

Right.. but they’re not considered crazy long either lol

[@kathykorbel1101]

Consensus is this was a bad draft for linebackers, safties and running backs.

[@williamhermann6635]

Yeah well they still managed to add a ton of talent at those positions. Consensus means next to nothing.

[@MrKhankab]

Consensus don't work for the nfl or the packers. Just a couple of people who agreeded on something

[@Nightwing300]

Gotta draft the players in the current draft. Teams can’t wait for the future best years to get players. Hopefully they develop into good players later in their careers.

[@drink_with_the_dead]

Kathy is just a troll who lives here.​@@MrKhankab

[@tom62Football]

Consensus also said Tony Manrich was the greatest offensive lineman of all time when he was selected only one pro said he no feet. So it’s up to opinion
