Yet there are plenty of people in the know that say he was one of the top 2-3 RB’s in this draft class. As far as need? Maybe a tick off the rating for 2024 if we keep Dillon, but he’s really Dillon’s replacement in 2025. Lloyd will be fully primed next year and at a 4.47 40 yard, he adds a break away speed component that AJ Dillon lacks.This system functions off play action and outside zone running is a key to our attack. That is EXACTLY one of Marshawns’ strengths.It’s also really important to have depth at RB in postseason. We learned that with James Starks. I fully expect us to reach Postseason now.  Starks was a catalyst for our ground attack in our lead up to our last SB Win.Jim Nagy said he was by far the best RB healthy at the Senior Bowl and was already one of his favorites and an automatic to make Senior Bowl. His thoughts were he wouldn’t have been surprised to see Lloyd go later Rd1 to earlier Rd2. He also mentioned it didn’t shock him to slip some due to lack of emphasis at the RB position lately. Nagy would’ve graded this an A imo. I gave that selection 2 ticks less for position and being a backup in his Rookie season. B+</blockquote>
