Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 869436">It's a terrible idea for the Packers to get rid of Clark. They will need to create cap space in a different way to improve other positions of need or successfully address them in the draft.I'm not convinced Jackson is a better passer than any of the other quarterbacks you mentioned.Aaron Jones being a fifth round pick should serve as evidence there's absolutely no need to spend a first round pick on a running back. As a side note, teams have to consider position of need when making a draft selection. Best value available is the way to go.I agree that there's no reason to reach for a prospect based on need. Running back can definitely be addressed after the first three rounds of the draft though.I guess Newton's asking price might end up being a reason no team signs him this offseason.At this point a running back selected late in the first round would be paid close to $6 million on the fifth year option and $12.5 million while being franchised. In my opinion that doesn't justify spending a first rounder on the position by any means.In my opinion there wasn't any drop-off in performance with Patrick taking over for Linsley last season. Therefore I don't see the need to retain Linsley considering the Packers could save significant cap space by releasing him.</blockquote>
