Imagine Saquon at 1 and Mayfield at 4

  • Why?

  • Never a chance Mayfield would be there. I can't prove it, but I have a suspicion many other teams had Mayfield number 1. I'm by no means a draft expert (duh), but even I was proclaiming Baker the far and away best choice before the draft. 

    But Geez, having Baker AND Saquon? Yo! 

    But we somehow got Baker, Chubb, and Denzel Ward. The Corbett pick remains a mystery for now, but gets a pass because he hasn't played much. The real "imagine" scenario for me is daydreaming about drafting Bradley Chubb at #4. As much as I ADORE Denzel Ward, the concussions are terrifying me. We absolutely need a rusher opposite Myles Garrett, and Ogbah isn't going to be that guy. Chubb and Garrett would've been nasty. If Ward shakes off the injuries, then we're good to go. Hopefully he does.

    Yeah, tough to prove but 4 QB's went in the top 10. There's literally no way to confirm a team like the cardinals didn't love mayfield and would have sniped him before our pick. Sure it's a fun thought, but given the draft results you took Mayfield 100 out of 100 times with that pick. 

    Also, did you watch Chubb? I don't get how people aren't recognizing how baller that dude was essentially not playing the first 4 ish games. Hell, a full 16 weeks and he woulda been considered for ROY.

  • Mayfield+Ward+Chubb>Barkley+Mayfield 

  • I'll take Mayfield, Chubb and Denzel Ward.

    If you extrapolate Chubb's stats over 16 starts they are right there with Barkleys as far as effectiveness,  in fact PFF named him the the most effective running back overall.

    I agree with jiggins, nice thought, but wouldn't have happened. Chubb is at least 90% of Barkley. Saw some comments in the OROY thread, it's all about the quarterback. As good as Saquon is, he made very little difference in the Giants win total.

  • Chubb graded out better as a RB this year that Barkley.

    No thanks.  Mayfield/Ward/Chubb is better than Barkley and hoping that Mayfield would be there at 4.   Stupid topic a year later....why not imagine the players we have getting better instead of always focusing on the players who don't play here.   I don't understand it.   The Browns are a good young team and should only get better next season and in the years to come but some of you still want to live in the past and wish and hope for other players.   Blows my mind..

      Give Nick the same touches...and he is just as productive perhaps.

      though I will say the one thing most impressive to me about Barkley is that he had 91 catches.  That figure would have been a Browns team record over Ozzie Newsome's record.

  • I remember hearing Belichick and Elway was very high on Baker... Now Ghoulie is on Facebook acting like a tard.. He is saying Barkley was the pick based on OROY pick.. And is trying to convince everyone Baker is average.. LOL.. I basically told him. "And you wonder why you got kicked out of every browns forum in the city".. He stayed quiet after that...

  • Cannot criticize last years draft ....best we have had in years ....... even our 5th round pick Avery played great and Calloway too, only ones he did not hit on was Chad Thomas and maybe Corbett but I think we will see more of the latter next season ...... Ratley and Thomas were late picks ...was looking at rounds 1-5

    Look at this dude's draft grades from last year .......  I bet he does not write about football anymore .... fucking laughable how some get jobs

    The total scrimmage yards were probably what put Saquon over the top. That and hearing Baker didn't play in all 16 games... the NY homers argument is Barkley's production compared favorably to all NFL running backs, but Baker's stats didn't measure up to ALL NFL qbs.  Fair enough- but it's a rookie award, and Mayfield's stats blew away any comparison to other rookie qbs....

    No worse really than Payton.   Literally one letter off.

  • As much as I admire Saquon, i'll take Chubb actually now that I've seen a season of them. I still want an aux downhill RB to compliment Chubb so that he doesn't have to do the heavy lifting over all 16 games, get him into the playoffs fresh.....but I prefer chubb's running style to Saquons 'in Cleveland". Chubb can get things done imo, better than Saquon in Cleveland once it starts getting cold, windy and snowy. And as people already stated, the acquisition of Ward makes this a moot issue.

    We just saw that yesterday. The GOAT Brady (gosh, I hate to say that) has Edelman (the Patriots version of our Jarvis Landry)- and a bunch nobodies at WR and just won another Super Bowl...  

    Franchise QB trumps franchise running back, every time. I tried to tell you-know-who- Brady now has six rings, that's more than Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Ladainian Tomlinson, and Adrian Peterson- combined.  🙂
