What?   Lol.  All you have to do is look at the Etieene pick and you could go on and on.  Etienne absolutely helped our bad team become good even with a [BLEEP] oline

See how I did that?

Yup, you can do that for any position.

Actually, you can't do that for any position. Specifically great Centers and great Offensive Tackles are far and away more likely to come from 1st round picks. Regardless, the W/L result of choosing an RB high shows that great running backs do not in fact make great teams. For example, Christian McCaffery's only year leading the League in rushing resulted in the Panthers going 5-11. That isn't a single instance like that either, it's constant.

Dude

We have Trevor Lawrence, Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, Zay Jones and Evan Engram on that offense. 

This is not a "bad team" 
This is a team that is weak in the trenches on both sides of the ball but otherwise quite good. 

Etienne had an absolute monster game yesterday. My hat is off to the guy. I love that he's a Jag. Love it! 

Still wouldn't have spent that pick on him.

How dare you see reality.
