AJ Dillon as a mid round pick please. RB is way to deep to invest a 1st round pick in.
He impressed me with being able to move the pile. He went straight at the defenders and won....I'm just not sure he can do that in the nflI want Darren Sproles 2.0 from LSU.
There really are some dynamite RB's in this draft, and no doubt Swift is among those at the top of the list. I wouldn't draft a RB until at least the 3rd round probably, and honestly, not this year at all before the 5th. But, there's one guy who I just can't stop drooling over--Travis Etienne. He can pass protect, catch, make yardage after the catch, grind power play, and displays good speed to break long gainers. He seems to be able to do everything well, and could really be a true bell-cow back, despite those being rare these days. If anyone gets Etienne or Swift in the 3rd round, they're getting a steal.
I just think our 2020 draft is year 1 of a 2 year rebuild, and you want your RB to come at the end of that rebuild because their instantly ready and you get their best years immediately. Their shelf lives tend to be much shorter either from injuries or inflated 2nd contracts. IMHO, we're probably not re-signing a RB to a 2nd contract using the Patriots offense, so I'm expecting RB to be kinda overlooked this offseason and not adding one before the 5th round until 2021.
