STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Late-round value; sixth-round talent at ninth-round cost.

Travis Etienne was a strong running back value in 2024, drafted in rounds 6–9 (where he would have been a fifth-round pick six years ago). The source identifies him as part of the late-round RB archetype that provided excellent value as an alternative to the dead zone, avoiding the mid-round tier while still delivering strong production.
