You all just love to attack the team no matter what. You haven't even given it a chance. Is it 100% that the players you all want are going to be a star? I forget that a bunch of random posters on a message board would hit on every draft pick every year and have their team going 17-0. This isn't Madden.

If you want to throw in the white flag for the next few years already, then go ahead. There are 31 other teams you can go root for. I will give it a chance no matter what. Welcome to Duval, Travis!!

The clearly went for value over need since running back was one of few positions last year that was good. SInce a few other projected picks are out there I think the Jags are lower on them than expected becuase their positional value surely is higher than for a running back.

Then again, I'm not sure running back is the correct description of Etienne. Offensive weapon is more like it. I hope they'll be able to utilize him in the passing game.

certainly, it COULD have been worse, but it's a headscratcher.

If we are planning to load up on the run game, we won't be winning a lot of 38-35 ballgames.

Etienne will be as much of a pass catcher as he will be a runner.  

It's not a head scratcher.  We want TL to be able to get the ball out on time.  One great way to do that is to throw to the backs.  If we want to use the backs for running and receiving, we need more than just James Robinson.  He can't carry that load by himself.
