    How can you say that Barkley is better than Zeke?   One has proven to be a great NFL talent, the other has never played an NFL game before.  Barkley might have the college stats and the size and speed and all that to potentially be a star in the NFL.  But so did Trent Richardson (easy example), there's no guarantees of anything in the draft.  There are a Sheet ton of RB's in this draft with the potential to be very good to great.  Potential being the key word because none of them have done anything in the NFL.

    What did Barkley have against OSU?  Like 49 yards on 2.2 ypc?   

    His talent may be generational......if he were a Mayfly.  There is a new generation of Mayflies every day:

    Their life lasting only for 24 hours. Mayflies also called as 'one-day insects' because of their shortest life span. There are 2500 different species of mayflies in the world. In fact, some members of mayfly family die within few hours

    But it's true about running backs they take a beating in the brutal NFL (not for long) even with a decent OL and team. Is Barkley that rare top 5 RB pick? Better yet when will the BROWNS have two top 5 picks again? Don't say next year. 🤔

    Too bad the BROWNS might have to waste a pick on a QB. (Cue dead horse carcass.)

      With two top 5 picks....I still do not think RB is an absolute priority to go for with them.  You are the one that posted about Kamara and Hunt etc.  And there are guys in this draft considered better than them...when it comes to anyone not named Barkley.  

      I think we go in that direction.  But...you never know.

        I posted about Kamara and Hunt? But someone will figure Barkley as a top 10 or 5 pick, probably. I'm wondering if the BROWNS shop their top #1 pick to get a blockbuster #2 or 3, 4, 5 and more type deal? Clean up on some real studs.

          Amazed by the poll results. Saquon is a generational talent and game changer like we haven't had in the "new" Browns era. All this cowpoop about "RB value in the later rounds" is exactly that , cowpoop. Pure roll the dice speculation. Barkley is better than Zeke and changes our team instantly for the better. This team needs OFFENSE and via playmakers. I do not think Dorsey passes on the best player in the draft. lol cow poop huh, let's try bull-she-it

          How can you say that Barkley is better than Zeke?   One has proven to be a great NFL talent, the other has never played an NFL game before.  Barkley might have the college stats and the size and speed and all that to potentially be a star in the NFL.  But so did Trent Richardson (easy example), there's no guarantees of anything in the draft.  There are a shit ton of RB's in this draft with the potential to be very good to great.  Potential being the key word because none of them have done anything in the NFL.

          You can apply this same logic to every potential position picked at 1. Valid though that it my opinion Barkley will be better than Zeke. Hell as good as Zeke would be just fine.

            Zeke Elliot was taken 4th overall while DB Jalen Ramsay and DE DeForsest Bucker were taken with the next two picks in that draft.

            Who would you guys rather have, a stud RB or stud DB/DE?

              I'd take the stud RB because we can secure good DB in FA

                Counter to that is we can get a guy in rd 2 who measured identical to zeke in the drills.  Rashaad Penny. Similar running style. And I've got 2250 yds rushing last season at over 7 ypc and career 7 ko returns for TD to back up my point that he's the real deal.  

                Him not being a finalist for the Doak walker award is a joke.
