Not so fast on the NFL qb draft train for next year
-
Just gonna bump this for you.
When the Shmuck did I ever say he was a generational talent? What I said and will continue to say is he's a top RB prospect on the same scale of Elliot or fournette. To say "well take away big plays and he's average" sounds so stupid. That's what you draft a guy like that for. He was the best player on the field and it shows.
The funny part is I don't even want the dude that's badly.

So again, we’re going to count on him busting stuff for 50+ yards regularly in the NFL? Not gonna happen.
not a positive or negative comment on barkley(I have no opinion), but this is a ridiculous way of looking at things.....also, NO nfl running back can consistently grind out 4 yards a carry in the absence of big runs. It's just not possible. So if you are going to draft a running back in the first round you may as well take one who can bust huge runs because there isn't anyone who can consistently average 4+ yards per carry outside of those big runs.
I’m aware you have to count on some bigger runs, but in the NFL, most of those are 15-20 yards, not 75. And you have a lot more negative runs.
Barkley is an elite pass catching back. But he is, at least statistically, absolutely nothing to write home about as a runner.
Saquons one of the best rb's ive seen in college in awile. Not sure he blocka as good as zeke but as far as running goes, saquons better than zeke
No he’s not. No chance. Certainly a better pass catcher though.

For those of you who haven't seen Darnold, I'm curious of what you guys think of his arm mechanics. Kind of 'Rivers like' in its awkwardness, but the end results are usually good.
I've seen every snap of the kid and still don't know...............

I was totally sold on him after watching the Rose Bowl last year. Dude was awesome and so calm and confident. This year has been pretty shaky but I haven't watched the games that closely, just the highlights.
But it sounds like he's staying in school anyways.

I hope for the kid's sake that he does stay in school as it will only make him a better pro QB...... Oh hey DeShone, I didn't see you there.

You know what War, you're totally right. This Barkley dude blows, look at the effort against Ohio state!

Thanks for bumping this thread. #TrustTheWargo

Unless the FO gets replaced before the draft, The Barkley discussion could probably be shelved. Spending the first overall pick on a RB doesn’t seem likely for the analytics crew, or for the NFL in general. It’s been over 2 decades since any team has used the first overall on a RB. Interestingly enough, he was also from Penn State.

I don't see how you can pass on a QB for a RB at the top of the draft. Unless you can pay for Cousins to come to Cleveland or unless Kizer suddenly starts playing like Joe Montana

I don’t know how a team can take a RB ahead of everyone else, regardless of team needs. Even if the Browns were desperate for a new RB, it would make far more sense to spend a 2nd 4th and 6th rounder on RBs, casting a wide net and letting the cream rise to the top. Those 3 picks combined still don’t come close to approaching the value of first overall.

College QBs looking pedestrian this season. Mayfield has been the most consistent passer but he isn't an NFL QB

Right. People said that we should pass up on Trubisky/Watson etc. last year because it was a mediocre QB crop.....and because 2018 was going to be oh so great.
BALDERDASH. 2017 looks like it may become much better than 2018.
