[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 1034591, member: 6578"] The talk of Dillon is here so apologies for going away from Lloyd for a second but folks know I was a massive critic of Dillon last year - from the jump I felt his burst was missing and his tenacity for the first time in his short career. But folks acting like he is a castaway that Wilson will push right off the roster is laughable IMO. Let's visit Dillon for a second, in his immediate draft class he was selected 6th in the group. Of the five ahead of him only Antonio Gibson has more yards than him (2,643 vs 2428). He ranks 4th in total yards in the group, 6th in yards per games registered, his 4.07 yards per attempt is 6th amongst RBs with over 250 attempts. Even if you include the 2019 class, AJ is still the 10th most productive running back in yards in all the classes since 2019...and only one running back drafted after him has more yards - which is Najee Harris who has been his teams feature back far more than Dillon. Picture of spreadsheet I have running. Draft classes are color coded from 2019 through 2023 [ATTACH type="full"]20447[/ATTACH] Dillon no doubt is at the point in his career where I think he's realizing he isn't a feature type back in the league...BUT he easily is a RB2 with RB1 relief ability. To think otherwise is simply ignoring all which he has done up to this point and that doesn't even factor in anything when it comes to his knowledge of the offense and compare his pass blocking abilities vs all these other backs. Dillon has quietly become a VERY solid blocker in the backfield which is even MORE reason why it seems he is heading towards that FB/Hback TE role which has been hinted at. Lloyd has the traits to be a special RB perhaps - which just further compounds how awesome this backfield could be and no doubt all of them have immense hunger...Jacobs wants to prove worth the pay day....Dillon wants to show he is still a legit RB2 when asked....Lloyd to back up the "best back in the draft" talk....and Wilson continues to want to make everyone regret not drafting him.
