Pick 1.04 Ryan Grant

Grant spent his first two years in the NFL buried deep inside the New York Giants' organization. Green Bay traded for him out of desperation, low on healthy bodies for the season opener.

His 201 yards and three touchdowns in a snowy playoff victory over Seattle last weekend were no fluke. Since becoming a starter at midseason, he has averaged more than 100 yards and ranks among the league leaders in runs of 20 yards or more.

In the process, the Packers' woeful ground game has become a complement to Brett Favre's arm.

Grant has run for 1,157 yards and 11 touchdowns on 215 carries, a 5.38-yard average.
