With him as the feature back, defenses know what's coming and have a good guess as to wear. I'm not sure how he is as a pass blocker.
Snell won't be an outside runner at all in the NFL, he's strictly an in-between the tackle type, best paired with a Fullback, who's just okay as a reciever.
His value will be as a short-yardage runner something Conner already excels at. I doubt he's fast enough to be a factor on kick coverage.
Sorry, I call them as I see them. This pick ticked me off. We could have doubled own at WR, ILB, or CB. Or picked a better TE. What we have is a 3rd string running back who's unity to pass Conner or Samules unless an injury hits, then again you can say that for any NFL position.
