But as I put some research in, these are just as much examples of position needs as they are BAP. They clearly fit a specific role.  AJ is really the perfect compliment to Jones if you study him. He’s a powerful chain mover verses Jones being more a finesse backfield option. He can take 25 carries a game day 1 if needed and what I see is routinely 1-2 yards after contact. He’s not going to get pushed around much.I think he graded as a late 2nd day selection to GB and perfect fit in our system.  They may have secured him by trading up round 3, but IMO he’s likely gone by #94 so yes, it’s a slight gamble.  That said, he’s no slouch at RB. 4,600+ Yards production in just 3 years against arguably the most stacked defenses (75%) in college. Again, he’s a younger, shorter version of Henry and if we get 50% of Henry’s production we got a Winner.  We just happen to get the strongest TE in the draft with sure hands?  What a coincidence we got 2 underneath options to get the ball out quicker.I’m excited to watch these guys develop into young, ascending starters. I’m tired of overpaying the descending Jimmy  Graham’s of the world.</blockquote>
