Which option would YOU choose/hope for?
A) Select Rosen at 2
B) Select Barkley at 2
C) Trade back with Denver receiving their 2018 2nd/5th picks and 2019 1st. Select Nelson or Chubb. Flexibility for 2019 QB.
D) Trade back with Buffalo receiving picks #12, 22, 53, 56 and their 2019 1st. Blue chippers out of reach, but with 6 picks in top 70 you can finish OL rebuild, RB and grab some pieces for Bettcher's defense. Flexibility for 2019 QB.
I do NOT want Rosen or Allen.
Doubtful they would.
It would be more impressive to have someone go back through each already started to see if anybody have changed their minds or uses different logic to support their position.
pretty much how I see it. If Darnold is there at #2 im picking him.
If CLE does what everyone thinks and picks Darnold then I have some decisions to make which I'm cool to waiting until the last second until we are on the clock.
Draft Barkley
Draft Highest QB on the board
Trade Down with Denver (draft Nelson)
Trade Down with Bills (use the draft to fill a ton of needs)
I flip flop between all 4...it will be a tough decision for sure.
Considering their are some similarities this year where the top QB's are somewhat similar in ranking I find it hard to believe that the Giants would go Darnold, but not Allen or Rosen. Meaning If They really want Darnold, but he isn't available they will dramatically change directions on an organizational level and go running back.
One can make the argument that it is different because we have Eli so therefore we have the luxury not to be forced into a QB or that Barkley is so exceptional that it changes the normal rules. Totally possible. However, it would definitely be different than the norm.
But, if not Rosen, don't draft a RB at #2. Yuck!
Trade back for picks and still get a premmium player. If not, then trade back for a ton of picks and restock the roster.

I think that's right. You need to know if you're going to take the QB, it's sea change moment. It's essentially signalling you don't expect to compete that year as you're basically saying your first round pick will sit and learn for a year.
If we're not going to QB, I'd take Barkley unless the Bills back up the truck, or somehow manage to trade their way into the top 6. If Denver put together an offer to go to 5 I'd consider it. With the defensive scheme change, and a general lack of depth we really could use more than 5 picks.
B is all in on Manning/Webb. I am hopeful, but not convince.
C may still offer a shot at Barkley, and definitely can fill multiple holes. I see this as best move if it were available
If Browns are REALLY smart, they trade up to 2 and take Darnold and Barkley. With their offensive weapons (assuming Landry and Gordon stay out of trouble) they would be very tough to defend. Plus, a great running back can take pressure off a young QB.
Think of their offense:
QB- Darnold (when ready and Taylor until then)
RB- Barkley
TE- Njoku
WR- Landry
WR- Gordon
WR- Coleman
They would be scary good.. Even with trade up they will still have a lot of picks left plus cap space..
In reference to 2004, I wanted Gallery at 4 because I thought there was no way we could get Eli. Eli was the pipe dream.
C) Trade back with Denver receiving their 2018 2nd/5th picks and 2019 1st. Select BPA - I suspect Barkley falls to pick #5. Flexibility for 2019 QB.
