Benjamin Albright is a guy who I have a lot of confidence in. He's usually spot on, and has a ton of info.
If no one follows him on Twitter, he's definitely worth your time.
He's been all on Darnold to Cleveland at #1.
Today, he posted this;
"Some of you saw me delete a tweet. If you caught that tweet, good for you.
No further comment on it."
The deleted Tweet was that the Browns will take Darnold.
Then, Schefter Tweeted this shortly thereafter:
Here’s what Browns’ writer @NathanZegura projects on teams’ website for No. 1 pick:
“QB Sam Darnold - All along I have believed it would come down to Darnold or Baker Mayfield. I do think Mayfield was given incredibly strong consideration, but...Darnold too promising to pass.”
Looks like the dream of Darnold at #2 is dead.
I would love to take Barkley at 3.
What about pairing him with Sony Michel? Or the lightning quick kid from USC? Completely realistic scenarios.
Instead, this will lead to Jints Central running to the podium to select Barkley.
And then there will two distinct sounds - the naive BBI class popping champagne thinking this is actually a worthwhile decision and the informed BBI class breaking plastic remotes in complete disgust of a critical opportunity discarded for a position that grows on trees.

That is tremendously arrogant and condescending thing to say. It must be terribly heavy burden to shoulder all that wisdom and certainty. All class there.

No reason and unlikely a Jets/Giants trade like that happens. Giants arent moving back, they'll stay put and take Barkley. Jets can still have their pick of Mayfield or Rosen at 3.
...Josh Rosen #2 to the Giants.
It has been like that for months; it will end up that way tomorrow night.
Oh, and Baker Mayfield #3 to the Jets.

Let’s hope so

Posts like this make it really difficult not to want the Giants to draft Barkley just to see heads explode.
I think that's DG's gameplan as we approach draft day. Ideally Barkley/Chubb with a drop to 4 or 5. Probably entertains trades down further too but barring a blockbuster, we're landing on one of those guys at either 2 or after a small drop back.

Position that grows on trees you say??? LMFAO. Guess Jerry Reese couldn't find those trees the past several seasons.

What do you think now?

Gettleman said he wouldn't trade up in his pre-draft presser.
I doubt that he'll trade up, but for the sake of accuracy, what he said was that he would not use future years' picks to trade up.
