But as far as a runner, he had it all including speed.

Absolutely. 

There was a USA Today pre-draft article about the RBs coming out that year. Warrick Dunn, Tikki Barber, Antowain Smith and Dillon were listed, among others. Antowain Smith was the only one of similar size, but Dillon's 40 time was listed as sub 4.4. That was him as a 22-23 year old. If anyone remembers that article, please verify.

I recall thinking, a 6-2, 225 bruiser who can flat out fly, is not going to last beyond the first 10 picks. When Bengals picked him in the second round, I couldn't believe it. 

He fell in the draft because of attitude/personality issues.
