We had an RB on the roster that just set UDFA rookie records, brought in the coach's ol' pal who previously quit on the team, and have 2-3 guys who could serve the same role as the guy we spent a pick on. We spent $21M on a twitchy, gadget-style returner who could mimic Etienne's role as well.  It was a bad pick, even if the kid was still healthy and sitting on the bench like every other rookie not named Trevor.

Unless he makes JRob, Viska and/or Agnew expendable, it was a bad pick.

Period.

Lets say Robinson got hurt.  Who do we trust then?

Using this logic, we should have spent our second first on another QB.

We signed Hyde in the offseason to spell Robinson. He's the CJ Beathard to JRob. You may say "Hyde certainly won't be able to produce at the same level as JRob." Well, do you expect CJ to be a clone of Trevor?

Let's say we trade Joe Schobert and Myles Jack is hurt. Who do we trust then?
Let's say Jawann Taylor puts up less fight than a wet paper towel. Who do we trust then?
Let's say Davon Hamilton gets hurt. Who do we trust to block up the middle of our D?

We can play this game all day. it was a luxury pick. It wasn't even that we took an RB. If you are picking the guy to be the backup, you can find that guy two rounds later and get exactly what you're shooting for while still filling out the roster with better players where we desperately needed them.
