Id rather have an elite player for 4 years than one of the guys everyone else wanted who look to be backup fodder but maybe thats just me


While we tend to never agree on everything i guess at the very least you gotta admit. Meyer openly wanted kadarius toney and i think we can both agree that would have been a disaster

I agree with all that. 

Some people ignore the talent level of the individual player and focus solely on the position they play.  As if, when it's the Jags' turn to pick, they should go up to the commissioner and say, "with the 25th pick in the draft, we select WR."  They would ignore the talent level of Travis Etienne and just select whoever is the highest rated player at whatever position they value more than RB.  They would have passed on Quentin Nelson because he is a guard, they would have passed on Christian McCaffrey because he's a RB, and they would have passed on Devin Lloyd because he's an ILB.  They put position over talent.  They'd take the best available WR over the best available RB regardless of the actual talent level of the individual players.  

They've chosen this hill to die on- position is more important than talent.
