AJ Dillon

[Tony Oday]

What do you think? I mean he has tree trunk legs 4.53 speed, I mean is this a modern day Christian Okoye? or just an overgrown dude that will flame out.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Poor man’s Brandon Jacobs.

[GB-Brandon]

High RAS talented player that actually had the production to match. Dominator rating was there. Had high production against stacked boxes. Sounds like he can catch. If he can learn how to block consistently he will be a valuable weapon.

This is a pick I am not worried about.

I don’t know if the buzz about this Dillon is just simply preseason hype or if he’s really gonna make an impact with the team.
Something tells me we already have superstar Aaron Jones with Jamaal Williams to compliment him, so how much more can Dillion add, I’m not so sure.

You gotta keep reminding yourself that he’s a running back. So if you’re any sort of Packer fan you gotta dream that Dillon ends up playing more as a Tight End/running back that can catch about 20 yards out and run like a big madman to daylight, and if he wants to look like Hercules doing it, that’ll be just fine.

[RashanGary]

Jamal Williams worked his ass off training to be a pass catcher in the offseason. His trainer posted a lot of good stuff over the offseason on Twitter. And now, he was already a good pass catcher so I’m sure Jamal will be even better in 2020 in his contract year. He’s also a great pass protector and has a knack for big screen plays. Perfect 3rd down skillset.

Aaron Jones is already an excellent all around RB. Looking at camp pics he’s clearly in the best shape of his career and looks to be even better. No way a rookie takes his snaps barring injuries.

Dillon is a short yardage specialist in year 1. Bet on it.

Next year a much bigger role should be in store with Williams (or Jones) gone.

[RashanGary]

And Aaron Rodgers said many times last year what a luxury it was that he had running backs that he had chemistry with and could count on. Both guys catch passes well and pass block with consistent veteran presence. Highly doubt Rodgers will sign up for a heavy rookie running back dose in 2020 when he has such a reliable and game breaking every down option and a Taylor made third down back in the fold.

I keep thinking Jones is expendable with Dillon and the cheaper Jamal Williams as long term options. But Aaron is such a perfectionist and stickler. He just loves playing with Jones. Jones and Adams are about as good of a 1/2 skill pair in the league. It’s just enough for Aaron to make some serious hay with as his dependable go to’s.

[RashanGary]

If Aaron Jones gets extended, he has Packer HOFer and one of Aaron Rodgers twilight great chemistry co-stars written all over him.

[RashanGary]

The other reason I see Jones as really signable. If you extend him right now for 3 years at top 3 RB salary, you average in that last cheap year of his rookie deal and that’s a real reasonable contract for a star running back. It also happens to get you four years, just in time to pay Dillon if he’s a star too, and let Jones walk as he approaches 30.

[texaspackerbacker]

That sounds about right regarding Jones. I also don't have much doubt they will keep him. When you have a person that good and good character too, you retain him. I'm thinking (but less sure) that we retain Jamal Williams too, and if Dillon is nearly as good as it seems like he might be, there should be plenty of room and plenty of carries for him too.

If dillion is above average jones is gone. Why pay superstar back dollars in a low cap year? Save it for another position.

exactly. i hope dillon kicks butt.

It crosses my mind too. Really hope Lazard develops fast chemistry with Rodgers this year. That would seal the deal for me. Rodgers needs two talented guys he can rely on.

I let go Lindsey, Taylor, Mercedes and Aaron Jones next year.

I keep Clark, King and Bakh.


We have two more years before we would lose Alexander and I’m sure that would work itself out. Keeping the King, Alexander, Amos, Savage secondary together for the next three years would be huge for our defense. Plus we have Z, P and Clark for that timeframe too. The defense could be top tier for Rodgers twilight, which might be better than an offensive leaning team.

[RashanGary]

I’m a big Jones fan though. I would not be upset in the slightest keeping him. Him and AR have chemistry. Dillon is cheap for 4 years. It’s doable. Jones would just transition to the 3rd down role when Williams leaves. He and Dillon would split regular downs with Dillon taking all short yardage. That’s not bad either.

But really, more ideally, Williams gets a modest deal as a 3rd down specialist with Dillon on a cheap rookie deal and that opens up money else where.

It’s just a lot of ifs. Hard to get a full bead on what is going to be the best move there.

[run pMc]

I really like Aaron Jones, but I'd rather keep Bahk than Jones. Pro Bowl LTs are usually franchise cornerstones, RBs are more easily replaced. Not sure they can keep both, plus Dillon and Dexter are being groomed as the replacements.
