A lot of criticism about the Packers taking RB AJ Dillon in the second because they have Aaron Jones. I think you need two different styles of RB and Jones wore down a bit last year (and we had to use more Williams). Plus, not to sound like a broken record, but RB is the one position you don't need a ton of camp time to contribute. I also saw these numbers -
Derrick Henry (out of college):
242 pounds, 4.54 40, 37-inch vertical leap, 7.20 3-cone and benched 225 22 times
AJ Dillon:
247 pounds, 4.53 40, 41-ince vertical leap, 7.19 3-cone and benched 225 23 times.
After what LaFleur did with Henry in Tennessee, maybe he's sees a similar thing with Dillon. I don't think it's a bad pick given how the running game struggled when Jones was hurt/not playing.
