for over 40 years. Incredible.
I hope you Barkley guys are right  
HomerJones45 : 4/26/2018 8:30 pm : link
And he’s more than a Reggie Bush.
So much for the owners wanting a QB  
RobCarpenter : 4/26/2018 8:30 pm : link
He’s the best player in this draft and it’s not close. Sometimes the best player is an OT, a QB, a DE, or a WR. Or a RB.

Finally the Giants can have a running game. I fully expect the second round pick will be an OL (Price/Hernandez)
It’s official....

Jets Central is better run than Jints Central.

We need a HOF RB here out of this pick


I would've drafted Darnold, but this is just ridiculous. Barkley is an infinitely better prospect than Wilson.
All you guys who wanted Darnold

do you not trade down



Maybe they examined recent history and said, "You know, trading down from a top-5 pick hasn't really worked out very well has it?"


Or maybe they didn’t get offered anything they liked.

I always love people say, “Should’ve trader down.” like its as easy as Madden.

major fucking blunder..

DG is not the man I thought he was.. just terrible.
So here we go  
Bold Ruler : Mod : 4/26/2018 8:30 pm : link
Darnold and Saquon in NY. Let's hope DG picked the right guy...and that Eli stays healthy and improves his play.
Amazing

I am happy with this pick didn't like any of the QBs was hoping for trade down but barkley best player in this draft

I suspect Webb is a big part of this pick. I think they believe he’s in the same ballpark, talent wise, as any of the QBs they could have drafted. We’ll see.

Will be a great player  
MookGiants : 4/26/2018 8:31 pm : link
but without a QB, it won't matter.

Short sighted. If this was 1980 i'd be thrilled, but the game has changed and you need a long term answer at QB.

They will have even more egg on their face if Darnold turns into a star.

The biggest problem I have is Barkley could be Barry Sanders and it will still be the wrong pick if Darnold turns into a star
When was the last time we got the absolute best player in the draft?  
Bill L : 4/26/2018 8:31 pm : link
Maybe the other #2 selection of note?

Despite position or whatever, you simply can’t pass on talent and strive for average simply because the guy plays a position you arbitrarily undervalue.
the play action pass is now back in the playbook  
Steve in South Jersey : 4/26/2018 8:31 pm : link
Eli was great at play action back when we had a running game.
With Chubb and Nelson on the board, this pick makes no sense.  
GeofromNJ : 4/26/2018 8:31 pm : link
Both Chubb and Nelson will be perennial All Pros and both fill positions of drastic need. Barkley will be a disappointment. He can't block and he can't break tackles.
Time will tell  
Les in TO : 4/26/2018 8:31 pm : link
If he’s a Marshall Faulk or Ki Jana Carter.
BTW...most of our beats have been telegraphing this for days

He was within an eye lash of not winning one playoff game. He was not within an eyelash of going to the Super Bowl, they got fucking smoked in that game.

The value just isn't there if Denver was looking to come up  
bigbluescot : 4/26/2018 8:32 pm : link
it's a RB. He's a great prospect but you roll the dice to see if Cleveland takes him at 4. You'd still have the choice of two of three best players in the draft. It's just silly, the Giants never ever approach the draft with any sense of tactics. Always up never down. Moronic.

Barkley  
AcidTest : 4/26/2018 8:32 pm : link
is the fourth highest paid RB in the league, and plays a position with one of the shortest average careers.

I was OK drafting him, as long as Darnold wasn't on the board. I didn't really want Darnold, but he would have been better choice than Barkley. So would a trade down.
Eli can’t even

Yes. Because David Wilson and Barkley are so similar. Come on man.

Play action isn't actually that affected by a run game according to all the stats.

And NICK FOLES won it.

Over Tom Brady.

Again... past results do not guarantee future outcomes. The league changes and evolves often.

Pat Shurmer knows his QB's. Either he sees something in Davis Webb, or perhaps he didn't even love any of these.

Let's see how things play out before we go fucking apeshit.

Remember, all of these QB’s have major red flags. They could all be busts. A lot of you are acting like they are all sure fire stars.
if he's not generational then  
bluepepper : 4/26/2018 8:33 pm : link
this is a terrible. I don't want 3.7 YPC, 50 catches and an occasional return TD from this guy. We passed on a huge haul for this pick not to mention the QB's.
Barkley is pretty consistently described as the best player in this

Even if he's Marshall Faulk, Darnold better not become Drew Brees, if he does it's an epic disaster no matter how good Barkley is.

Poor value. I don't know any other way to describe it, poor value.

This x 1,000.

The Barkley fan club just doesn't get it. You're not going anywhere without a QB and the Giants just blew their best chance to get one.
