I believe we are taking a LB with our first pick

The reality is Dillard is more of a throwback LT who is a really good pass protector who you hope can get in some one's way enough in a zone blocking scheme to not be a detriment to the run. I'd probably use a lot of pulling TE's to give him help early on in the run game. 

Overall my point is there is a lot of quality at tackle this year. Maybe not the big name guys we usually judge a tackle class with but a lot of really solid guys.

You should probably change "is running a spread attack" to "should run a spread attack" lol. We've seen many instances where a team doesn't actually cater a player to his strengths because they think they can morph him into someone he's not.

But I agree with you, that's how Dillard would be best used to mask his deficiency in run blocking (at least until he can improve in that area).
