I literally just said it wasn't worth a discussion because the perception of value is subjective. That's all. I think he was worth the pick. Considering the hit/miss rate on draft picks, the fact that we got 2 really good years out of him and he made a positive impact on the field, means we got value out of the pick. All the "casuals" talk. Also probably wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a lot of carries, but that just shows I can handle the workload, I can be the workhorse." I think he'll be fine, If we are going by running back by committee he's not gonna be getting all the carries. Right, Brett also said he could probably come back last year. Again, I like AJ Dillon the player. The GM says he "fell" to us so we were obviously high on him. I disagree with the value. That's going to happen, I hope he has a couple 1000 yard seasons for us.

I mean you're talking about Favrey joking he could play at 50, and another guy confidently telling everyone he can handle the workload after he was drafted.

Iol My point was, what is Dillon supposed to say? "Yeah man, I've got like a couple years left in me". This isn't even me saying I don't think he'll be good, but I hope he is! This is me saying, even when he's good, was it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoekd0250 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I think we will see Dillion get a large share of the carrys and we could see aaron jones split out more and used to create mismatches in the passing game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thinks he can avoid contact he will but if it's coming he'll get dirty. I hope you're right. I really do. But what I saw was a guy trying to bounce things outside off tackle way more than he should. Lacy started trying to do the same thing after a couple concussions. I see more finesse than Marshawn Lynch in him. But let's hope I'm wrong. Edited April 25, 2020 by DWhitehurst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably say that about all draft picks, we don't know if they're going to be worth it or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I don't think the value was there, you're acting like anyone who disagrees with that notion is a dumbass We can actually measure it objectively using PFR's career value of Lacy relative to the average at his draft slot. I suspect he outperforms it significantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadmus Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Quote RB12 - A.J. Dillon Got some buzz (and Derrick Henry comparisons) for running 4.53 at 247lbs at the Combine, but his yards created profile is extremely lacking. Even though Dillon ran fast over a long distance, he has slow build up speed and just routinely earned yards that were blocked. Boston College’s offensive line helped generate most of Dillon’s yards as he saw a class-best 1.90 yards blocked per play. Dillon’s 0.25 missed tackles forced per carry ranks last in the class. Bottom line: Dillon was a monster producer in college -- he went over 1,000 yards and scored 10+ TDs on the ground all three years -- but tape study revealed an inconsistent ability to create on his own. Dillon ran into his own blockers far too often and he has the worst lateral agility in the class. 80% of Dillon’s missed tackles were from either power or speed. Dillon was also the least-involved receiver in the class, earning just under 1.5 passing targets per game. From Graham Barfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
