1.04 Green Bay Ground Hogs - RB Bishop Sankey

In the real world: Sankey lands in arguably the best job situation in among RBs drafted this year. The Tennessee Titans had cut Chris Johnson in a salary-slashing move. Shonn Greene recently had knee surgery and will mess the remainder of offseason training activities; he might even get cut by the end of training camp. The only other running back the Titans have is free agent signing Dexter McCluster (who's better suited as a pass-catching back or a wide receiver).

In the TUFF world: Last year, Green Bay traded away RB LeSean McCoy to the Houston Tethered Swimmers for RB Trent Richardson. They also received the #1 overall pick in that trade (Sammy Watkins), so it's not like Green Bay got ripped off; still, that trade was a big reason why the Swimmers won their first-ever TUFF Bowl, while the Ground Hogs suffered their first losing record since 2004. As I said back at 1.01, Green Bay needed to hedge their bets on Richardson, and they did with a huge trade up with New Orleans (which wanted to move down anyway, and was thrilled when Sankey fell to 1.04 because the value of that pick shot up tremendously--"You moving up to grab an immediate RB is HUGE for you"). Green Bay had to cough up TE Vernon Davis and WR Robert Woods to move up in the first (and, as it turned out, biggest) trade of this year's Draft.
