And if we had a complete team that was competing for the Superbowl every year I would be all for it.

We have the worst team in the NFL with some of the worst OTs protecting TL. So we go RB.... when we already have a BETTER RB on the roster... it just makes no sense.

What if Robinson isn't better.  What if ETN can do everything that Robinson can do, but has breakaway speed on top of it?  Meyer really likes to spread things out and use RBs in a variety of ways, so having more than one good one could be a very good thing for his offense.
Personally, I would have preferred something other than RB at that spot, but what if ETN is the next MJD?  Is he worth pick 25 then?
