PoeticG Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 I'll get to checking out this draft game and watching tape really soon but so far the only guy that I've seen that is transcendent looks like Saquon Barkley. He is the Anti-Crow, this kid really flys and man he's shifty AND fast- At the same time. Really like this RB. He brings another level. I would say that he's a Duke Johnson 3.14. Guys, he should be on our team in September. I'm going to look at these QBs but I'm thinking that Barkley is that player right now that you write down on the paper a little note to yourself- Open April 26th; "Barkley - No matter what" and tuck that mug into your pocket.

BaconHound Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 If they draft a RB #1 I’ll get my wish and the Haslam’s will be removed from football operations while the NFL runs the team. I think it will be a cold day in hell when Dorsey drafts a RB in the top 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoeticG Posted December 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Say-Gone BARKLEY! Game Changer. We have 2 picks in the top 5 of the draft. Nothing says we have to take the guy #1 overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoeticG Posted December 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 All I'm saying is exercise your due diligence and don't just burn a number 1 overall pick on a Quarterback that will still be there in the second round. Avoid the knee jerk reaction to REACH for a QB #1 overall at all costs. You have to take the best player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And highlights tell me nothing. I have watched all in games which are far better evaluations than highlights. I could send out my racquetball highlights and you'd wonder why I wasn't in the record books for best ever @ 70 and over. Some of my shots on any given two hour period look like they were fired by a laser into the crack in the front corners. But that would leave out 90+% of reality which some days just bites.

MLD Woody Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 1) If PoG loves him it's probably a bad pick 2) Barkley disappeared for part of the year 3) We aren't 1 HB away from a playoff spot. HBs can be found late. Taking one this early is buying high on a lower need we can get with a later pick. No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDawg31 Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 #1 for a guy that had only 4 100 yrd games? Yeah that sounds about right to go along with our 17 #1 pick that gets 1 Tackle a game. I'm seeing a pattern here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 I watched some of that highlight real. Barkley is good...and he's FAST. But that #10 guy seems to catch up to him before he reaches the end zone. #10 is WICKED fast. We need a QB. The QB trumps a RB. It's like the Queen to the Rook in chess. We've gotta pick the best damn QB in this draft. And THEN work on the rest of the team. (I cannot overstate my position on this. Pretend I carved it in stone) Myles Garrett was 'off the charts' better than anyone else in last year's draft. And do ya know how many touchdown passes he threw for us this year? Fuggin' None! We lost every fuggin' game this year because we can't throw a goddamn touchdown pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD_Tom Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 How is Saquon a lock at the first RB taken? He had 4 games over 100 yds this season. That's hardly dominant. It's not like he was playing the Buckeyes or Bama each game. JK Dobbins put up better numbers as a true freshman than Barkley did as a Jr. I don't get all the hype for him, especially in rd 1.

If Rosen doesn't declare, (or only wants to play for the Giants) he's not the only fish in this very deep QB class. It will cost the G-Men plenty to swap picks, and this year second best isn't going to be chopped liver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I tend to agree but doesn't it seem like Adrian Peterson and Ezekiel Elliott made significant improvements to the Vikings and Cowboys?

MLD Woody Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 We're not a team where one HB will make a big difference. We don't have Romo//Dak, Their OL, Dez, etc. An elite DB will help this team more in the long run than an elite HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that if we have number 1 and number 4 he might still be there. I wouldn't be upset with Fitzgerald either. Giants will go quarterback. Who's next? Also I'm not sure how much hype is involved.

Avoid the knee jerk reaction to REACH for a QB #1 overall at all costs. You have to take the best player. I strongly agree with you that it doesn't have to be a QB, but I also feel like we HAVE to get our highest rated QB at any cost. Last year we got cute. We tried to have our cake and eat it by drafting other positions early, trading back (yet again), and then selecting our QB in the 2nd round. This year we need to get the guy we have ranked the highest. Even if we're picking 6th in the draft, that leaves 4 other teams who could draft our QB if we select someone else at 1. Can we REALLY afford that? Even if we sign a veteran QB, we need to get our guy. We just can't get cute again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD_Tom Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 There is no way the top qbs are lasting until the second round. If a qb lasts past early first rd, he's probably as crappy as every other qb we've drafted outside of the top ten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think that a WR is more like the Rook...unless it is a Duke Johnson type: hybrid RB/WR. RBs more often would be like the Bishop. And TEs would be the Knights. Naturally....the OL are the Pawns.

I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think it matters if the Colts win or lose (to the Colts that is). I think they remain picking 3rd due to strength of schedule.

jiggins7919 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hopkins continues to be one of the best receivers I've ever seen. God help the world if he played with Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers. He just LOOKS different, ya know? He catches the ball so quickly and immediately runs with it. Craziness. That being said, the Colts can definitely win. So what's the final verdict...if Colts win, where do we pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Colts win they have the lower SOS so they pick before Houston and Houston before Tampa Bay even if they lose again. EDIT: It will be interesting to see how many teams play their 2nd/3rd teamers to "tank" into a better pick this week. Too much calculus for this old guy to figure out.
