The Packers have picked RB James Starks out of Buffalo with the 193rd overall pick (6th round) of the NFL Draft.  Starks is a big guy at 6’2″, 218 pounds and he can run a 4.5 40.  He runs with a upright style like Eddie George and Eric Dickerson did which causes him to take a lot of big hits.  That led to him missing the whole 2009 season with a torn labrum in his left shoulder.  Starks played in 36 games in his career at Buffalo and he carried the ball 698 times for 3,140 yards (4.5 ypc) with 34 TD grabs.  He also caught 127 passes for 898 (7.1 avg) with 3 TD grabs at Buffalo.  Look for Starks to have his best chance of making the Packers as a third down back.
