Do you not like Friermuth and Toney full stop, or just not that high. Why are people so low on Friermuth? Just the speed? I can’t think of a fast TE... where would you take Etienne if he fell? Does the Lawrence factor itself not make him a safer pick generally?

Etienne is a good player, but we just watched an UDFA RB be a top 5 RB in the league, in his rookie season with little to no help around him. Spending a 1st round pick on another RB is just not smart decision making when you have holes/needs basically everywhere on the team besides at RB.

This team is not a 1st round RB away from a Super Bowl. RBs can be found way later in the draft, as we see every year. Even in UDFA, as we just seen first hand. Taking a RB in the 1st round is a luxury pick and no 1-15 team has any business making a luxury pick.
