Can we just do this?

Darnold/Mayfield and Barkley would be a great way to get both our front office AND coaching staff canned. So if that's your thing then by all means....

And if neither of these guys pan out, you'll all be frustrated with our FO again. How many of you were on the Kizer bandwagon prior to this years draft? The fact I'm trying to make is nobody know who will be the next great QB. Just about everyone was against Deshone Watson before the draft. The last point I need to make is it's not about how great a QB you are, its about the where you play and how prepared you are. Houston Texans have a better team, than we do. Kizer could've been a great QB, under the right guidance. But coming in and being thrown into the fire, well you see the results.

I was on the Dak bandwagon in 2016 and Watson this year. Still deciding on 2018. I'm leaning to Rosen if off the field issues turn out to be non-issues. Darnold might be in the running if he comes out. Definitely not "no accuracy'" Wyoming Cowboy. Backup written all over that one (if he's lucky enough to find a non-backup team).

Nobody? Barkley even exploded against Ohio State. Mayfield is up for the Heisman. A clear running game and an explosive back like the Jaguars have would not only complement Duke, it would provide much needed fire power for our offense. I was never aboard the Kizer train as I thought he's a multi year project and shouldn't of played right away. With a Bridge QB (such as McCown, Baker Mayfield could learn for a year if need be, and then be the game manager that we need. I'm all aboard this kid. Compare him to Manziel, Weeden, whoever the heck you want, but I only compare him to himself.
The argument - We don't have the playmakers to make a QB good so we shouldn't take one is stupid. The argument that Barkley might be a bust so we should trade down and pick another TE, Safety, or whatever with the first pick is stupid too. We need firepower on offense, and the earlier someone is picked, usually the better they are. I don't like Rosen, D'Arnold, or Allen. I don't like Rosen's attitude and friends of mine who have watched every UCLA game for the past few years told me they wouldn't even want Rosen on their team.
Wentz was good because he was a leader and WANTED it. He stayed late in the film room, lifted, spent time with his teammates, was smart, and worked hard. Say what you want about Mayfield and Barkley, but they're hard workers.

Barkley is a luxury we're nor gonna afford. Unless we trade our draft to go right back to #2

Got to wait and see how the rest of the season, the combine and the draft unfolds... Nobody knows what will happen. It's very possible that both, one or neither will be there with our second 1st round pick.
Time will tell.

In my opinion, Barkley is the most talented player coming out of the draft. Sashi said he didn't want to reach for a QB, and I currently believe at this moment, Rosen, D'Arnold, Allen, Jackson or any other QB would be a reach at #1

Hopefully the signing of Cousins makes taking yet another QB in the 1st round a non factor......

Smith is the quintessential game manager
True...but would you take him if he's available? Either via trade of free agency?

Aside from what was possibly the easiest kick return of his life against one of the worst special teams units in the country, what way did Barkley "explode" against the Bucks?! Was it the whopping 2.1ypc?! Holy Sheet, that's elite!
Also, Shmuck fan pressure and most of our fans. I watched the lot cheer for the Johnny pick. If you yield to fan pressure in the draft on questionable players while 99% of NFL fans have zero idea what they're talking about, then this FO needs to be tossed for other reasons.

who do you want to pick then einstein. i wanted jimmy g, not johnny. haslam is the one who wanted johnny, the fans didn't beg him to pick him. quit comparing people from this years draft to people of the past. every player has a different story, and that's Sheet logic.

Oh, no. You want 'X' player. If you're the one offering up suggestions, I'm well and right to say hell no without offering my own. Because one of us realizes how early it is in the process and that this might be a pretty weak draft.
Also, comparing players is called a benchmark and usually a damn good idea. Helps give a feel for seeing how certain playing styles can mesh and translate to the NFL.
Just FYI, my logic is sound. Yours is horseshit. "He's a leader rarrrarrrr"... you've got to be kidding.
