Since we're copying and pasting stuff... I'll add my insightful but ignored comments from another thread regarding the same thing.

This thing you keep posting leads to a couple of more questions.

The first is what's is the value of a thousand yards rusher? Looked like it didn't have much value last year with Robinson, so why would you stack your board to get someone like that, if the above correlation even means anything?

The second question is what did you pass up to take that back? In the case of this draft maybe nothing at all, we'll have to wait and see what the guys taken later do to really know. The Jaguars will be able to take another guy at 33 overall, but if Etienne turns out to just be a mediocre back and the jags could have had two great players at 25 and 33 but only got one, then the pick will have been really bad.

The biggest problem with taking running backs in the first round is they generally have short careers and don't make big impacts. Would you rather have a guy play great football for your team for 10 years, or 5 years of low impact football?

This kind of move is what I was afraid of with this regime. The move shows a lack of understanding of value.
