I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. A motivated, well prepared LenDale White is a good RB. He failed because he was a lazy turd who cared only about LenDale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that's a fair comparison as to what a RB can get away with as to running style. Point being that "running high" isnt a detriment.

The argument can be what constitutes "big" money. You don't use premium picks on RB. Debate is whether the 62nd pick falls into the "premium" pick classification. ‐--‐-‐------- Fine with the player, not overly happy with the value with Jones and Williams in the fold for 2020. I agree with most of this. I think Dillon will be a good player for the Packers, so I am fine with this pick. I also don't like the value with Jones and Williams on board. I don't mind the pick because I think an end of the second round pick for a 3 year starting RB is a good value. Then we don't pay him and move on to the next.

His running style reminds me of lacys a little bit TBH. I think his feet are pretty decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect. I agree that running high isn't a detriment, provided you are a freak like Dickerson who ran a 4.28/40 at 220pounds (or Bo Jackson, another freak). That is not Dillon. I'm not knocking him as a RB, (though I think 2nd round may have been a bit of a reach), but he is no Dickerson nor should he try to be. Dickerson could get to and through a hole in a blur, before the defense had time to begin plugging the hole and make contact. He could get away with running high.

MaximusGluteus Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I'd like to see how much quicker Dillon might be if he lost 15 or so lbs. He'd still be a load at 230. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQ1 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) To me, after watching some clips of Dillon, he seems comparable to Legarrete Blount, but probably without the headaches. Very similar size, his speed seems about the same, and he looks fairly nimble for a 250 pound man. Blount didn’t get drafted, I think, probably because of his off-field and occasional on field issues---> see sucker punch of Boise State DL player. But he was a pretty good player. I agree with the idea that the Packers probably reached for the kid, he probably would have been gone by the time they pick again, at the end of the 5th round.

I'm not sure how much of that weight he can really cut. He's got absolutely monster quads. Straight tree trunks for legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance and burst(he's a long strider that takes a bit to get up to speed) also aren't where you'd like them to be. He's LenDale White. So many great takes!

Straight tree trunks for legs. Yeah he looks like he's really freaking dense so I don't know if he could cut much weight either. If he could cut a little though and gain a little quickness without losing power that would be nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
