But there's a reason average WRs get traded for 1st rounders (Hollywood) and average RBs get traded for 5th rounders (JRob). They're just not as valuable.

Not saying it's not nice to have one an elite RB but RBs are far down my list of positions that I would draft when building a team. Just look at the difference Tyreek Hill and Waddle made. You think they would trade either of those guys for someone like Henry? Not a chance. Get speed at WR, a move TE and build an Oline. Draft an RB in round 3 or later and plug them in.

Would you pass on Fred Taylor at #9 overall to draft Kevin Dyson?

And plug in RB Skip Hicks, who went 8th in the 3rd round in 1998?

Good lord. What are you even talking about?

It's not always about the next WR on the board. It's just about value. Why do you think teams aren't taking RBs very high anymore? You think the Giants would still take Barkley #2? Or that the Jags and Panthers would have still taken Fournette or CMac?

Barkley and CMac are elite but I can assure you that neither team would still select those guys if they had a re-do. And that's because the value of taking a RB in the first round is and always will be bad. You can make up whatever "what if" scenario you want but it likely won't change the conversation. So let's move on. Glad to have ETN and hope he scores Sunday.
