But aside from that he's said several things about thinking he needed someone like Percy Harvin, and his preference at the pick was Toney. When you're trying to take someone to fill a role that's not taking value, that's taking need. Regardless of whether their "board had that player ranked highest" or anything like that is irrelevant because if you're taking "need" into account when you rate players value, then you're not actually taking players based on their absolute impartial value and ability. I can't believe I have to keep explaining this.

You dont think Kamara is valuable to the Saints?  Henry for the Titans?  They are most valuable player on their teams, same with McCaffrey.  It really depends on how Urban uses Etienne to determine his value, that remains to be seen so you really have no clue how valuable he will be.  He said he wanted someone lile Harvin didn't say he needed it or he was gonna reach for one or take that into account when he was ranking players.  That's all just speculation on your part.  If Phillips would of been there when we pick based on they had him a 7.5 rating.  We aren't sure what rating Toney had on him but he went at 20 to the Giants.  Toney is a rare explosive play maker and would of been perfect for this offense. It was clear they took

I think we'll find out how valuable Kamara is now that Brees has retired, my guess is hell seem less valuable when he's not paying with a future hall of famer at QB. Still be wasn't taken in the first round.

As for Henry, he's a great running back, still didn't go to the superbowl or anything. And the bigger story with the titans is Tannehill. When they were starting Mariota, Henry was good but not like he's been playing now that he's got decent QB play going on.

We'll see how things work out, but the biggest problem with Etienne is that if Lawrence is what we think he is, then Etienne will be made to look better than he actually is.
