Saints signed Etienne to a four-year, $52 million deal. ESPN's Seth Walder called it a signing he 'can't endorse,' while SBNation's Mark Schofield and James Dator questioned the payday: 'You can draft a Travis Etienne. The league is full of Travis Etiennes.' Etienne sits at RB18 ADP and Footballguys projection, indicating a lack of confidence in his ability to reach a featured-back level in New Orleans. His late-third-round price is fair, but if camp shows signs he'll get a true featured role, it will be worth drafting him ahead of ADP.
