We're lucky in our roster development despite the low value pick that we hit on our free agents instead and that the guy the drafting crew actually wanted for the role got picked ahead of our slot. I'm glad ETN is playing so well, but it's in spite of everything about how he got here, that's why the whole backslappimg some are doing in this thread is silly.

‘Lucky’ or that’s exactly what they were going for?  It was a great pick FOR THE TEAM and to stick to your guns about it being a bad pick is getting a tad tiresome.  Lucky or good…it was absolutely the correct pick.

You give CJB [BLEEP] about him dying on his hill about his Lawrence takes (as did I).  Aren’t you doing EXACTLY the same thing?

ETN is working out so far somewhat, and it's wonderful that it's worked out, but just because I hit the fairway once with my eyes closed doesn't mean I should close them on the next tee box. He's still lost a season to injury already and I'm very concerned that he's going to burn out this year if the pace doesn't slow for him. We know the 400 carry rule is almost ironclad, I don't want to see him lose career time as a result. The list of things I gave earlier that had to happen to make this pick work out should show you just how unusual it is that we've had this success with ETN. The list of stats that NYC and I have proposed show why, overall, teams do not value running backs anymore. And CJB's takes about TLaw were wrong while mine are right, that's the difference. I'm glad it's worked out, it's past time the Jags had some luck in the draft instead of the crap we've dealt with for years. We were due to have something go our way for once and we got both our QB and an unexpected star in the same draft. That's good news for the next couple season while they are here together.
