Would Bijan Robinson Fit on the Packers?
Robinson is a complete back. Between his running ability, pass-catching ability, and blitz pick-up, he is a three-down back. The Packers could use some more offensive weapons and Robinson would be a player who defenses would have to find each play. The Packers have struggled in short-yardage situations and Robinson could be a potential solution. Even with AJ Dillon on the roster, each of them could be used depending on the situation.
Check Out Another Prospect That Could Fit For the Packers
Would GM Brian Gutekunst use a first-round pick on a running back? It would be very unprecedented. The last time the Packers selected a running back in the first round was Darrell Thompson in 1990. There is also a chance that Green Bay really does not need any more running back depth. While it is feasible, I think it would be a stretch to think that Gutekunst would break a 30+ year streak of not drafting a running back.
