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
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.
