You're actually reaching here at this point. They went up and drafted a guy that actually fits an immediate need with rotational traits already apart of his history. At a position that offers the most highest success rate at that point. We're heavily invested how, by the way? Robinson get a contract extension yet? He's coming off an ACL late from last year. Etienne has not even played a regular season game yet coming back from a Lisfranc injury that typically ends a runners career.

While also landing a future fourth round selection in next year's draft. Be honest with yourself, this class in general, across the board? It's relatively weak due to a vast number of reasons. Next year's class stands to be a little bit more refined because the covid restriction stuff is going away. 

Bad teams stay bad because they miss with their high draft picks and fail in extending their competent talent. They don't fail because they [BLEEP] traded up low value picks for a position of need that makes a lot of sense on paper. 

Give me a break man. Go get a drink already! Sheesh!
