The selection of Jordan Love in the first round rightly opened some eyes. But flying under the radar was the selection of Dillion in the 2nd round, despite having a 25-year old stud in Aaron Jones already on the roster. As I said earlier in this column, the new regime in Green Bay is looking long term. The selection of Love and Dillion are luxury picks for the future, not assets that will move the needle toward a title in 2020. Another strong season by Jones, who is in the final year of his rookie deal, likely means Green Bay gets priced out of his services long term. Dillion is a bargaining chip they can use or an alternative they can fall back on.
This is a fantasy article, not a front office simulation, so what, if any value does Dillion bring to your team? Well if you are a Jones owner, I think he's definitely a priority handcuff. His elite athleticism and size, (4.5 40-yard dash time) and production at Boston College certainly shows he's got a chance to be a starting caliber player. But the fact he didn't break many big plays, or catch many passes (21 in his B.C. career) means that he's likely slated for a two-down role at the NFL level. If Jones were to miss time, Dillion would immediately have RB2 value, but would be looking at a committee situation with veteran Jamaal Williams. Unless I'm a Jones owner I'm probably not picking Dillion in a non-dynasty league, but if he's still sitting there late in your draft he's worth a roster stash.
