But I guess this is what happens when you end up with two first choice running backs for no reason.

Yes, it was one of my arguments against drafting ETN.  So many people on here preach "BAP", "BAP", "BAP", but this shows where ignoring the need factor can cost you.  Even with most coaches, it was going to be hard to give both ETN and JRob the carries worthy of their talents.  As such, one was inevitably going to get upset and the team would have to trade him for pennies on the dollar.  It's a complete waste.  We should have been fine with JRob as our running back and drafted one of many other very quality players that were available at other positions.  This team has no shortage of holes.  Our team would be much better off for it now.  Baalke is a clown.

I disagree with this, you always go BPA.  Most coaches in this league would of been able to make both work.  It's not that hard , look at the Browns and Cowboys.  He'll we did it with MJD and Freddy.  JRob is a very good back but Etienne is an elite back.  Any time you can get an elite player at any position you get him.  I loved the Etieene pick but there where 2 players I wanted over him.  With that said I would take Campbell and Etieene over both of the guys I wanted, Barmore and Moore. Who did you want at 25 and 33?
