And yes, with ETN this team is 1-5 in the last 6 games, but we're also 1-5 with every other player on the team.  So that means nothing.

Zeke Elliot was the 4th overall pick in 2016 and Leonard Fournette also went just ahead of CMC with us in that same draft. All three of those guys virtually have or continue to contribute at a relatively high level. 

Etienne was worth the pick. I don't have a problem with it at all. I wish he was actually used more in the passing game. If he put up Alvin Kamara type numbers nobody would care we didn't land a top flight WR at the end of the 1st RD on the opening night.

This year I'm not sure how to gauge it since we had so much change but our passing offense or our run defense is likely much better. In the meantime what does this team look like this year with Barmore in the middle and we don't spend all that cap money on Fatukasi and we commit to JRob as the featured back? It's hard to project what would be since we have so many variables, that's why principles matter and the guys that picked ETN aren't even here now. The ETN pick drove all kinds of additional needs this year, needs that were costly to address in free agency and the draft.

Neither of those would of gave us anymore wins last year.  One of the reasons a lot wanted Barmore was his pass rush ability and he's been a disappointment in that aspect.  It's clear up to this point Etieene is the much better pick than either of those and I think you are the only one that can't see it wether you liked that pick at the time or not.  Even the people that didn't like the pick at the time can see it now.

Almost all were drafted before pick 25
