Wide Receiver2. Running Back3. Tight EndI understand that they are lower down the positional value pecking order. But they still matter, and there is nothing wrong with taking one in the 2nd round. Some really, really smart organizations took running backs before the Packers did. If taking a RB in day 1/2 is dumb, then apparently the Chiefs, Colts, Ravens, and Rams are dumb franchises. Positional value isn't the only consideration either-- there's also their own assessment of the player. After the draft, Gutekunst straight up told the media that he was trying to trade up for a wide receiver. It didn't materialize. So it would seem that they just had a high grade on Dillon. If Dillon isn't good enough to make a positive impact as a big part of the backfield this year, then yeah it was not a good pick. If he's playing great and shouldering a big part of the workload, then there's no reasonable way to call the pick a bust.</blockquote>
