Toney with the Giants is why you don't take that guy there. 

Toney with the Chiefs is why you can take that guy there (just like they can take Pacheco in the 7th).

Good teams can take luxury picks, bad ones need cornerstones. ETN, for all he is, already missed a whole season due to injury and likely will be replaced rather than resigned here. The team already spent more draft capital to draft the next guy, because running backs get ground up and discarded.

Any player can get injured.  Hell we drafted a DE with the 3rd overall pick and he got injured and missed his whole rookie season.  The late first is actually the perfect spot to get an elite back because you get the 5th year option so you can keep him for 7 years if you want without giving him an extension and that's when they are at their peak. Etieene was far from a luxury pick
