I obviously like him. I would be very surprised if the Packers did. Just FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Dillon is a lock to make the team. Packers aren't out much of anything if they release him during camp. Probably all depends on what the Packers add to the position at the draft.

If I am building the RB room, I would like to add a scat back type to what we have. We have 4 RBs currently. They are all 220 or heavier. Maybe a change of pace guy that is a little quicker can fill out the room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But would you re-sign him and then draft a direct replacement? Like I can see us drafting say Brooks or Benson, and if Wilson has a great camp, letting Dillon go. But I don't know why you would sign Dillon and then draft a not as good version of Dillon in that same draft. Seems like a waste of resources to me. The Packers have found some pretty good players in the 4th in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgbeethree Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Dillon's primary value right now over any rookie would be his ability to pass protect. It's almost always something rookies struggle with and is something Dillon excels at. That's easily worth vet minimum and a roster spot on this team IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrimiv Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 2 hours ago, NFLGURU said: Jones was drafted by Thompson and McCarthy. You aren't seeing those guys with Gute and MLF. Its guys that can move the pile. Dillon, Wilson, interest in Jonathan Taylor, Jacobs can be a workhorse. Shipley could be fine for a dome team, but unless they change he doesn't fit what the Packers go for, at least since Gute has taken over. I'd love to have a scatback back there, it's just not what the Packers do. Not to state the obvious, but Gute hasn't drafted a Jones type RB because he already had Jones on the roster. To suggest that the Packers don't do the types of things that Shipley does well is flat out wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaRisMa Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Is the University of Minnesota the worst school in history? That’s what people are saying after they refuse to let their players pro day numbers be made public knowledge. Shipley as early as 91.

Right, he has value to the team that most rookies won't bring. People thinking they signed him to cut him in TC are bumping around in the dark. Barring injury he will be on the 53 of the 2024 squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but up to this point Shipley would be the exception to what they've done in the past. As I said earlier, I wouldnt be disappointed, but dont think theyll take him.

The Packers have found some pretty good players in the 4th in recent years. Packers are only on the hook for like 100k it they cut him loose. I really think Dillon was almost begging to stay, and the Packers were prepared to move on, but decided to sign up under some special 4th year tender deal.

No way is he a lock on the 53. Packers will be bringing in plenty of competition in TC. Probably take two in the draft and maybe an UDFA on top of it. He's going to have to earn it this year. He'll be battling for that #3 spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
