62. Green Bay Packers
A.J. Dillon | RB | Boston College
What a strange draft for the Packers. After trading up in the first round to take Aaron Rodgers’ eventual successor (instead of giving him a pass-catcher or an offensive tackle to replace Bryan Bulaga), they spend this pick on an old-school running back they don’t need.
Aaron Jones is one of the NFL’s most underrated running backs, and there were so many other positions the Packers needed to fill more. Even if they wanted a running back, there were better options than Dillon, a big, physical back best used as a power/change-of-pace guy at the next level.
I could at least understand the plan with the Packers’ controversial first-round pick. I have no idea what to do with this one.
