The players that I wanted in that spot haven’t done jack [BLEEP], so kudos to Baalke for making the pick.

In regards to the team building/ semantics argument happening.  I do think he looks like the best weapon pick we could have reasonably made with that selection.  I’m sure Trevor is grateful that ETN is taking some pressure off him.  Even in hindsight I would only take Dickerson on offense over him.

It was absolutely a roll of the dice to pass on positional value elsewhere to complement a position that already seemed to be a strength. Had the pick missed, we'd all be calling for the GM's head with this as exhibit A to justify his firing. We had holes EVERYWHERE, and there were plenty of guys that could be filling those roles on this team, but the tradeoff would be our ongoing reliance on JRob to carry the run game, or hoping that a later pick would bring at least comparable performance to what we've gotten out of ETN.
