I'm perfectly fine with the NFL going through cycles of value ebb and flow at various positions.

Seems normal.

The game changes, the rules change, the number of capable athletes with various traits entering the pro market changes, and so ultimately, positional value will always be in some state of flux.

RB value is in a trough. Fine. Give it till the end of the CBA and re-evaluate.

I think ETN is paid fairly.  My concern is more about guys like James Robinson.  He got screwed, and there are more like him.

JR earned $5,500 per carry so far in his career. I'd say he's just fine considering that he's been used up since his second year. The Achilles injury made a slow guy tortoise-like and he's had opportunities that his body just can't leverage into a contract. Heck, he's got a $1 million dollar deal right now with the Saints, they should pay him more when he'll be lucky to make the team? Nah, he's been paid more than fairly for what he's produced in his career; he's not worth 4 times 4 times that amount.
