Reach | Boston College RB A.J. Dillon to Green Bay Packers, No. 62 overall
The Packers sent shock-waves around the NFL universe when they traded up to select QB Jordan Love last night, and their second round pick may once again make headlines for all the wrong reasons.
While Aaron Rodgers will be happy to see them select an offensive weapon that could actually help him on the field, we believe that the position and value is very questionable here. The Packers don’t have much at the WR position besides Davante Adams, and could use an impact tight end as well. Instead, they select a RB, where they have an excellent player in Aaron Jones.
Dillon may be the most powerful runner in this class. His lower half features incredible strength. He ran into more stacked boxes at Boston College than any running back in all of college football. We do have some concerns about his ability in open space, and his ability as a pass catcher as well. He should be a solid role player for the Packers, but they could have likely done better here.
