In this case it really doesn't. RBs are notoriously terrible value in the first, especially high first. The drop off between Robinson and a back in the second or third round is not nearly as steep as some believe.
I want the Bengals to draft a RB and upgrade, believe me. However, if they would have traded all the way up for Bijan I would have had an aneurysm. It would have been an absolutely terrible move.
