Camp Barkley #1 Overall
-
We could:
Free Agency- Cousins, Pryor
Draft- Barkley, Mayfield
Cousins and Pryor had the chemistry of a silent but deadly fart in church. And it lingered... While we're at the church thing we could also sign a couple altar boys.
Why would you rather draft the 3rd QB off the board and Barkley than the very 1st QB and Barkley when we have the 1st and 4th pick? That seems as strange as you wanting Trent Richardson back.
Let's Sesame Street this sucker with Cleveland Dictates as follows:
1) Cleveland drafts QB
2) NY drafts QB
See a trend? What's that do to the supply of THE most important position to winning in football? PANIC begins for some teams in desperate need of help. What does desperation cause? Trade-ups. And it's even been known to work. The NY Giants weren't winning Superbowls when Tiki Barber was making Pro Bowls. They won 2 Superbowls over Brady and Belichick when the they had a 1st overall draft pick at QB leading them after Barber was gone.
3) Multiple choice of who trades up with Indy for the 3rd QB between Buffalo (holding 2 first rd picks) and Denver (holding the 5th pick) and (the Jets holding the 6th pick) and Arizona (holding the 10th pick) and whoever else needs a QB. The NEW Head Coach of Indy has learned the art of trading back in NE for more picks especially when they already have a franchise QB in the house. Besides, Indy already traded away a 1st round pick for the last gotta have RB named Trent Richardson so they should be all set with that right? Right???? There's nothing for them at #3 that beats multiple picks via trade. Also keep in mind, the Offensive Rookie of the Year in the AFC and in the NFC were 3rd round RBs. Draft Analysts are saying this draft is supposed to be just as good and even deeper at RB.
4) Cleveland drafts Barkley or another pick of the litter they deem BPA.
If I'm wrong, I need a brand new village idiot hat anyway...

Wanna rethink this comment now? You said you would pick Barkley, easy over Gurley, the OFFENSIVE player of the year.
I decided to do a little research on these 2, since it is SO OBVIOUS the right choice is Gurley
Todd Gurley
6'1 222lbs 31 1/2 arm length 10 hands
Score: 6.3 while injured (WAS said to be best prospect before injury)
4
The thing is, Barkley looks good, but nobody knows how he will do in the pros. And I certainly would cheer for him if Browns drafted him, and I dont have a problem with them doing that. But you are WAY out of bounds to say right now he is better than Gurley. Gurley has earned his respect and stature in the league, NO rookie has
You make a great point- would the Rams trade Gurley to the Browns just to take Po-gans hero Barkley? No way in hell.....

Of course they wouldnt, and shouldnt.
But wait a second, now I got someone in my head telling me Saquon is the Bret Hart of football. They already have his bust made, and cleared out space to add a wing on in Canton. Didn't you know, he is the BEST EVER. He is going to break every record, and then he will be soooooooo good and sooooooo transformative that he won't even have to wait the 5 years to get in

They actually will move the Pro Football Hall of Fame to Saquon Barkley's house, and build it around him.
I can't wait to see the Kevin Hogan Wing of the new complex.

Yeah he did good but he's no Barkley.
Use your eyes, Gurley's moves look labored, strained even. He had a couple nice low hurdles but he's not as athletic as Barkley.
This proves that Barkley is going to absolutely dominate at the next level...

Poe, now your squeezing your last brain cells on Barkley. His 5.5 than 5.9 per carry equals Eddie George with buckeyes.. Remember RB Larry Johnson at Penn State? They both carried the ball 272 times. Barkley-1496 Johnson-2087(7.7/carry)..Gurley 3 years at GA.6.2/6.0/7.4/yards/carry..your laughable..want to meet Gurley? we deep fry wild turkeys at his moms sometime in November, at his camp at Tarboro HS,NC..ya'll come..bring that Trent Jersey..Todd may wear it as his flag in the flag football game..BTW..ConGrats!! Tarboro Tough Todd & Shawn McVie from Tarboro Viking Country..

I don't know what you guys are saying? I'm saying that it's a team game, and the threat of Barkley getting the ball IS going to freeze the LBs and cause the DL to shift focus from the QB. If they bite on the play action that is going to lead to a big gain. If they don't respect the play action and Barkley get the ball then they are going to be a step to late to make the play on the run.Barkley gets you that second of uncertainty or that coveted step that you need to get the yards you need to be successful.What are you guys not agreeing with? I think that you are simply aggressively disagreeing with any statement or assessment that doesn't fit your narrative... It's time to get on board.I don't know what you guys are saying?
Same thing many of us have been saying... we do not agree with you.
Flug's scenarios nailed it. If you pass on your QB at #1, then you have to hope he survives the next two picks because those are both going to be QBs... and more than likely the two QBs will be Darnold and Rosen... although probably in the more correct order.
A lot of this I agree with Ghoolie. Well done!
Even the draft a monster for next to Garrett double team thing? Cause... you know... Sheldon?
Also note that he doesn't commit to a QB at #1. Has to keep his powder dry for future "critiques".
Resign Trent and draft Barkley #1. Thunder and Lightning! Let's do this!

In Comparing Barkley to Gurley-
Let's see here, if the charts below are to be believed then you can see that Barkley beats out Gurley in nearly every single category.
Would it be fair to say that Gurley had a better Offensive Line at Georgia? Many times the defense would meet Barkley in the backfield as soon as he got the ball, he'd make 2 or 3 guys miss to pick up positive yardage.
Barkley played in more games, had more yards rushing, had longer runs for TDs, had more rushing TDs, had more receptions, more reception yards, longer reception for TD and he had more receiving TDs.
Both players are team protecting with the ball in their hands as they had a very low amount of fumbles.
Outside of these charts, Barkley is stronger, faster and more athletic. He's got better moves and better character.
It's a double edged sword, it may seem like I'm putting down the Offensive Player of the Year... I'm not, I'm just saying that by comparing the statistics and using the eye test, Barkley is the superior player.

I like Barkley and he might be the most talent player in this draft....Chubb and Fitzpatrick are tough as well. However, I think Barkley still has to prove it before he is mentioned with Gurley

And last time this should have to be said, NOBODY HERE IS SAYING BARKLEY WON'T BE GOOD/GREAT, but he is UNPROVEN and he certainly hasn't shown ANYTHING to be considered the best player ever and be talked about more highly than GURLEY.
Since apparently we all make too many good points for you to answer any question about your SEVERE OVERHYPE of Mr. Barkley, try answering just this one.
Do you think the Rams would trade Gurley for Barkley?

You find it funny huh?
You don't believe that the play action fake is supported by having a home run threat at running back?
What is funny is that you base your entire support for him as a choice at QB on his play action fake ability.
See...you are a funny guy. Like Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, Gabriel Iglesias. We laugh at just about everything you say.
You should try out at one of those open mike nights at a Comedy Club.
I mean...you would get some serious laughs.
Sort of Henny Youngmanish: "Take Saquon Barkley. Please"!!! You would have them rolling in the floors.

Most everyone I've talked to in NE Ohio about the Browns and the Draft, are all on board with Barkley at #1 Overall. They recognize the talent.
It's only a small handful of people that are up in arms about the issue... You tend to think that a QB at #1 is going to fix everything... but what if that player turns out to be a bust?
Let's say that we do take Chosen injury prone Frozen #1 overall or maybe Ronald McDonald #1 and they bust. NY or the Colts take Barkley and he does in fact turn out to be a stud RB like many have projected. We reached for a bust prospect at #1 and then take bust on the #4 as well, could be an injury or maybe Fitzpatrick is a product of an outstanding Alabama team... then what? Does it go down as the biggest draft blunder of all time?

Then you mention how Kevin Hogan will lead the team to the promise land with Trent Richardson as Barkley's running mate, and guys in white coats put you back in the mental hospital for a 48 hour stay.

I don't know what you guys are saying?
Same thing many of us have been saying... we do not agree with you.
Flug's scenarios nailed it. If you pass on your QB at #1, then you have to hope he survives the next two picks because those are both going to be QBs... and more than likely the two QBs will be Darnold and Rosen... although probably in the more correct order.
A lot of this I agree with Ghoolie. Well done!
Even the draft a monster for next to Garrett double team thing? Cause... you know... Sheldon?
Also note that he doesn't commit to a QB at #1. Has to keep his powder dry for future "critiques".

I have already named Mayfield as the best QB in this draft. If I could magically draft for the Browns, we would be a hell of a lot better off than we are now. We would have a QB, Julio Jones and better support players than we do now.
My comments were NOT about individuals other than for one fukcking time since the drafting of Jim Brown, taking the best goddamned player in the draft........ Barkley.
We were talking about how the browns could really make an impact. That IS by securing the #1, #2 anf then #4 or 5 pick to take the best WR in the draft.
However they do it, the Browns need to pick #1 and #2 to get the QB they want, and Barkley, and then pick high enough, #4 or #5 to get the top WR. If they stand pat and pick #1 and #4, then they will not have a remarkable draft and they won't make the gain that they need to make to build momentum. hye need a QB, RB and top WR along with Gordon to get moving. Next years #1, Coleman, and THomas, or whoerver else they can get value for, needs to be packaged and traded to get to #1 #2 and #4/5.
Sheldon is unremarkable.
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -
again - I like Barkley - who doesn't ? But it is a very excellent rb draft. So, getting two other stars ? in other positions,
I would be happy with some of the other rb's in the 2nd round, maybe third. So, Barkley, is terrific, but if you aren't a team on
the verge of being a complete team - I don't see any rb in the first round.

Again, you talk bad about them, and think you can get that kind of value.
Of course we all know that if you were in charge of the Browns, they would never lose a game, and Paxton Lynch would be the NFL MVP. He would have made Brady retire ( since he was never going to win last year, and could never win a playoff game again this year.
The kicker to your team would be, there would be no OL, ALL PLAYMAKERS, and either those playmakers would play defense too, or you wouldn't even have a defense. You would just let the other team score so you can go back on offense since defense doesn't matter.
Let me break it down for you. You know NOTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL. You may be good in Vegas at bets or predictions, but the GAME, NADA ZILCH ZERO.
You talk terrible about the team you supposedly like, and just as bad about the city. They can't get any top FAs, but you would have kept Julio Jones and others.
Congrats, besides being Nostradamus, you would be the best GM in history.
Without any hyperbole, you are the best at something, and it isn't anything football related, or prediction related, you are the best TROLL EVER, and one seriously funny dude. Reading your rants is funny, but you trying to act like you have a clue about football, HILARIOUS
Didn't you say you were done with the board, the Browns, FOOTBALL?
You know why I dont talk about violins or whatever it is that you play? Because I dont know anything about the subject. You should try that approach with a subject you know nothing about, FOOTBALL.
