I don’t wanna get it twisted he’s an incredible talent but with Odell and Collins coming up on contracts that will make them one of, if not the highest payed players at their position why on earth would we take a rb(a devalued position) at number two and make him top 5 at his. We can draft a qb now and get Eli’s salary of the books in 1-2 years and build a Complete football team with solid players at a lot of positions. That’s how you win in this league. Some of you guys make no sense your playing fantasy football. Barkley isn’t even an every down back. I can’t see the logic in any of this barkley talk and even though all signs point to him I’m praying it’s a smokescreen and the guys running our team now aren’t as clueless as JR. I think tonight’s pick could be a turning point in our organization. Number 2 pick in the draft is a spot for QBs or LTs or DEs, those are the highest paid positions and since we have a LT if we do t take a qb take Chubb or trade down. Maximize the value of the pick this is not fantasy football

So when videos of the qb's highlights are put out we call it cherry picking but this SB video is suppose to make it cool to draft him. He wont be juking NFL defenders like that. I can assure you of that.
Also, not sure why you would claim he can't play like that at the NFL level. As long as I've been a fan, I can't think of a RB who Barkley compares to.
I keep hearing people mention Zeke. Wel once the Giants go out and assemble the cowboys oline, go for it take the running back. I'll also point out hat the cowboys have yet to win a playoff game with Zeke on the roster and, when he got shut down, the Cowboys didn't win.
I understand the financial implications, but the goal is to win football games not have the greatest salary cap management in the world. The short career of running backs concerns me more than the financial implications.
"Barkley, hit 5 yards in the backfield, struggles to get back to the LOS"
"Barkley, hit before the hand off even reaches him"
"Barkley, spins away from 5 defenders, before crossing the LOS for an amazing one yard gain."
Kind of like opposing sides in a political debate.
Just watching the entire Iowa game is unreal. Plus the USC game. He is an exciting player.
Dammit, we may have to pay him 5 years down the road. Can you imagine that the Giants may have to pay a super productive once in 10 year RB?

Its BBI logic. Its not supposed to make sense
Difference is Penn State had better Qb....oh no they did not.
A much better oline....no it was actually pretty bad
One of colleges top wrs....nope
A great blocking TE....no he sucks at blocking.
A great defense...not even close
Well...that was fun to watch! Thanks Eric!

Dude, take it easy. All Eric did was post a video of Barkley highlights, even saying he wasn't pushing for Barkley, and you have to rip into him?
I personally have never seen a RB make runs like that at the college level (aside from Barry Sanders), and his overall performance at the combine was one of the best in history, so explain to me why you think his play wouldn't translate to the NFL? Every scouting report on Barkley thus far has said he checks off all the boxes for him to translate into an All-Pro talent in the NFL.
Just face it: he's an amazing talent and prospect, the question simply comes down to whether or not 1) The Giants like one of the QBs and 2) Is Barkley so good that he is an exception to the rule of not drafting a RB in the top 5.
What makes you so sure that he can't and won't do this on Sunday's in the NFL?
You're probably right. But thats not a knock on Barkley. Jackson just happens to be that electric. Its irrelevant though, because Jackson isn't a RB. He's a QB (who I am a fan of) and not even in the discussion at 2.
Barkley is 35 pounds heavier (pure muscle) than Reggie Bush. The problem with Bush was he did not have the power to be an every down back in the NFL. His lack of strength was exposed when he got to the NFL. Barkley put up more bench reps than most lineman at the combine.
Yeah, let's draft a RB disguised as QB who won't run so everyone will think of him as only a QB..at least after tonight the nonsense will subside.
However, I still have the philosophy that more often than not, the team with the best players is the most successful.
Tonight might be a good test for which is our philosophy.
This is not hard guys. This is about winning, not managerial accounting, and its not saving for a rainy day. This is about WINNING. There is absolutely ZERO doubt in most peoples minds that Barkley will help you do that by a long shot. He helps Eli, helps the oline, helps OBJ, Engram, Sheppard and guess what? He helps the defense.
If Barkley is not there and everything else is the same then yeah maybe we look at Chubb or even QB. But when you have Marshall friggin Faulk staring at you in the face, a HOF caliber prospect you DO NOT PASS ON HIM!!!!!!!
The draft is about getting players that can have an impact. Best Player Available. THIS IS NOT THAT HARD!!!! Sometimes you can over think things too much.

though I was more impressed with Bush. I was convinced Bush would be an incredible NFL player. He was good, but he fell short of what I expected.

But did he run like that in college? I see a guy bouncing everything. Why would he stop doing that and change his style?
Pick a qb or trade down is what I think they should do.
Top QBs make 30 million and top DEs make 20 million, so a QB or Chubb is a much better value pick. Of course, you can play a hunch that Barkley will be the piece that makes the Giants go from a middling offense to a top five offense.
But if you go against the numbers and play a hunch with the #2 pick, you better be right. Otherwise, you go down in history as the guy who passed on a HOFer. Like when Bum Phillips took George Rodgers instead of LT.
I would prefer that we take a QB or trade down. But I'm just someone with a keyboard and internet connection, so wtf do I know.
this comparison is silly....its WAY different when youre taking a carry from backfield and defense has a quick read as opposed to dropping back to pass then scrambling for a 70 yard run. i get that jackson is talented in the running department, but its hard to compare a running QB to a runningback IMO. just different.
jackson ripped off several big runs but fact is he is a HORRIBLE passer in terms of accuracy. i dont even want his dumb ass at 34
There's also lots of film of Barkley getting stuffed at the line of scrimmage and being tripped up by a linebacker's extended arm. I would much rather have Chubb, or even Nelson. Both will be All Pro's. Get a running back later.

Over the Cap has the 2nd pick at a 2018 cap value of $5.69 mil which would put him behind Bell McCoy Elliot Miller Ingram Fournette McKinnon
Hmmmm

Yeah, Barry Sanders and Eric Dickerson, Adrian Peterson, etc.. did not juke any defenders. Your a moron. The kid is an excellent prospect. If we choose to pick Barkley Giants fans will be very happy for years to come. If we choose Darnold or Chubb or another quality prospect I hope they to will be successful for us. Barkley is the best player as of right now in this draft.
Big & Strong, fast but with great moves, can catch. Once they get right side of OLine resolved - imagine having to game plan for Odell, Barkley, & Engram - not to mention Shepard.
And after defenses get done chasing him all over the field - you spell him with a guy like Stewart who is big and runs hard.
I would be very happy with this pick.

Let me be real clear..
Barkley is a nice prospect but he is not the best player in this draft when you consider positional value and replacement value.
He doesn't look like him physically - but he plays just like him.
But the horse-blinded QB crowd says that like its the ONLY decision, without even accounting the actual evaluation of the players. If you don't think the QB is a franchise player than it's a non-discussion.
It's so baffling to me how people look purely at the numbers and have not considered that the organization may not feel that they're worth that, regardless of the model that the Rams and Eagles are functioning under.
You can also be a fantastic team with an expensive quarterback. Shall I give a few examples of those teams?
Take the player you think will have the biggest impact on this team progressing to contention for years to come and you let Abrams deal with the cap.

That is debatable and you can't say that without any certainty or definitiveness. He is widely regarded as the top talent, the best player in the draft. Almost everyone agrees on that point, from public quotes of scouts, coaches, and pundits. The first thing that matters is talent. If you draft a middling QB and Barkley ends up being one of the best players at his position in the NFL, you have made a mistake. Positional and replacement value only matters if you end up with close to as good a Quarterback as the the player is you passed on. If you miss, it's a waste.
But hey, don't let me stop you from making the same short-sighted post you've made here 382 times already, though.
Let me be real clear..
Barkley is a nice prospect but he is not the best player in this draft when you consider positional value and replacement value.
Oh yes he is, no matter how you try to filter it. He is the best player in the draft, period. Every scout, front office and prognosticator says so. Virtually unanimous.

I sure Barkley will be really good. There are many analysts wbo think he is going to be excellent and still view him as bad value at 2. I don't know who you call rosen mayfield and darnold middling prospects. They're excellent prospects. Ans if you hit on one who emerges as elite we can be the next patriots. That's what we all want. Barkley can nwver offer that kind of upside.

Exactly. Yeah you can find a good back anywhere if you luck out. This is a slam dunk great one. You don't pass him up especially when you have other pieces already.
Cuz you're QB is 37? So what Barkley helps him win..TODAY. Forget 3 years from now. After Eli has won his 3rd Super Bowl ala John Elway with Terrell Davis then you can worry about successors.
He may or may not be very special. There are some knocks on his game. But even if he is, a 12 year playoff qb is more valuable in this league than an elite runner. Please compare matt ryan to Chris Johnson, who came out in the same draft.

The calculus gets a lot closer if you don't see any of the QB's having the upside of Brees, Rodgers, etc. I do not believe it is wrong to question the upside of this year's QB crop and well meaning people can reach different results based on their answer to the question of upside and likelihood to reach that level.
Because they know they can get RBs that will be just as good, if not better later in the draft.

That's one hell of a pipe dream. It's a terrible idea to draft for some storybook ending that isn't coming. There's nothing on this team that's going to carry anyone to a super bowl.
Easy for you to say who cares about 3 years from now. The same people saying that now will be the ones whining in two years that the team has no plan.
Right now, looks like Barkley to me. If we're in cap "you know what" , down the road, I'll still be smilin', while polishing those babies.
Because they know they can get RBs that will be just as good, if not better later in the draft.
Not many teams in the range of trading up have a primary need at RB and this is one of the deeper drafts in terms of RB's in a long time. Not necessarily bellcow RB's, but definitely RB's who can be part of a RB by committee approach. Having that bellcow RB is useful because it means one less spot that you really need to commit to a RB. You have a bellcow RB and that means Perkins or Vereen could have been replaced with someone at a different position (with bellcow RB replacing the other).
Because they know they can get RBs that will be just as good, if not better later in the draft.
I would not be shocked if Cleveland takes Barkley at 1. In fact, their inscrutableness seems to indicate they are seriously considering it.
It is not just about where a player is ranked. It is also about tiers. Considering there are a finite set of numbers, unless you are arguing about one one hundreth of a point or less, there may not be a large difference between 1 and 7 or 8. As I posted earlier the question to me is the difference between the tier with Barkley and the tier with your highest rated QB. There are some drafts where the gap between #1 and #7 or #8 may actually be smaller than #1 and #3 in other years.
come on those guys are a bunch of stuffed shirts..

Yes the Pats drafted Brady, but if you look at Bill's overall draft record it is up there with Jerry Reese. The players that have helped Pats win, other than Brady, were late round picks, UDFA's, and free agent signees. Broncos, that same team that thought Brock Ostweiler and Paxton Lynch were starting caliber QB's and don't get me started on the first three. People thought the Class of 1999 was great with 5 QB's in the Top 12. How did that turn out?
BaadBill this isn't Ron fucking Dayne and the Reggie Bush
comparison is laughable .
I have been watching this game for a long time he is a one
of a kind in my book . The fact that he is fluid as a receiver with great hands apparently he can block some as
well . He is a bit more like Hershel Walker but faster .IMO

Too bad you’ve missed college backs like Dorsett, Sanders, Faulk, M.Allen, Dickerson, Bo Jackson.
Barkley isn’t better than any of them at this stage. He may be close, sure. But this hyperbole that Barkley is so unusual that his skills have never been seen before is asinine.
If you’re a gm and you pass on a game changing talent because of some Pre conceived weird devalued position you’re going to get fired.
You’re only going to go as far as the team around that game changer. We’ve had arguably one of the five biggest game changers in football since 2014.
I really just hope that if Barkley is the pick, the QB at any cost folks won’t shit on him for his tenure here. I suspect they will, but I can still hope.
