Wisconsin's Jonathan Taylor well-suited for Matt LaFleur's Packers offense

Latest in a Packers Prospects series looking at players Green Bay could select in the April 23-25 NFL draft.

GREEN BAY - The Green Bay Packers have not picked a running back in the first round since taking Darrell Thompson No. 19 overall in 1990. They haven’t taken a running back in the third round or higher since taking Eddie Lacy in the second round (No. 61) in 2013. They have an entrenched dual-threat starter in Aaron Jones. But Jones and backup Jamaal Williams are entering their contract years, and if former Wisconsin star Jonathan Taylor is available he might be too enticing to pass on.
