There was nobody else remotely close to him in that RD or after really that would have made the impact he's made on this football team at the moment.

Positional value changes in every draft class based on the players abilities in said draft class. Do you think Atlanta and Detroit give a [BLEEP] where they drafted Robinson and Gibbs respectively?

They're playing good enough football right now. Atlanta is playing better than most expected and that's with piss poor QB play. Detroit is probably fixing to pistol whip the Raiders tonight to shake off their bad loss to arguably the best team in the AFC at the moment in Baltimore.

Fournette was not the best pick at that time. McCaffrey would have offered more value at their respective position. However, that 2017 team does not make the post season without his efforts. So, for better or worse. He was the right pick at that time. We can also argue that, had we taken Wirfs over Henderson and Jefferson over Chaisson?

We're probably not seeing Lawrence in Jacksonville with Pederson as our head coach at the moment. Things happen the way they happen. It's far too easy to play revisionist but Etienne, again, was the right pick at the right time in that particular draft class. Period.
