To clarify, do you not think he represented value because you believe RBs should not be taken in the first, or do you not think Etienne was not worth a first round pick?  If you are saying it has nothing to do with Etienne, then I surmise it isn't the latter.

Or was Etienne less valuable to the Jaguars because he was not as much of a need as someone at another position?

That's a really smart question.

For me, I gave the Etienne pick a C because there were great players available at other positions that met our needs far more than a RB. Also, because we all knew RBs were going to drop to later in the draft - only 4 RBs were picked in the first three rounds. So we could still get an excellent RB in Round 4 if we really wanted one. 

Basically, by indulging a want in round 1 we set every subsequent back by one choice.
