There are currently only 6 starting running backs in the NFL that were picked in the first round. And that's a great list and all but not complete without the busts picked up at running back in the top 5.

Please excuse my ignorance but who is gino Bernard. 

Ok I looked it up and it was obviously just a typo as you meant gio Bernard cause he was picked 5th in the 2ND ROUND of the draft.

My list is only top 5 since the Browns have picks 1 and 4.

If you want me to include all top 5 RBs then all top 5 QBs should also be included.

Just because Trent Richardson was picked that high does not mean that he should have gone there.

And damn few Super Bowl wins out of that group. Colts won after James left, and Lewis can thank the other Lewis (Ray) and his defensive pals for his. Just getting to the playoffs isn't the ultimate goal. Ask the Bengals or Vikings about that. 

Cmon Man.

There have been only 52 Super Bowl winning RBs and some guys have won more than once.

Lot of Busts and Jags on that list.

2 Super Bowl wins by the same guy.

In Po's defense, no one can see the future and thus cannot tell who will be the best player ever.  I'm not a huge Poe fan, but this is ridiculous.  

How is that in his defense. He has said he will be the best ever. I'm just saying bet a name change that he won't.

Carlos Hyde does not mean anything in relation to drafting Barkley, just as Randall and Currie have nothing to do with us drafting a DB/S... or taking Taylor excludes us from taking a QB in the first round. 

The Browns are simply filling all of the NEEDS in FA that will allow them to go BPA in the draft and maximize our draft capital. Barkley is the Best Player and playmaker and that's who we'll take #1. No question. 

It does when you have 4 DB's on the field at one time and quite often 5 or 6 but how many times do you have 2 of the same type of RB's on the field at the exact same time?   Practically zero.    Again...you don't pay a guy 5 million per year to sit on the bench and/or you don't draft a RB #1 overall to sit on the bench and it makes no sense to play both of them at the same time since they play the same position.   Unless you're planning to run the wishbone offense this season with both Hyde and Charles Barkley and Duke all in the backfield at the same time.

By Jags....do you mean:  Just A Guys....or actual Jacksonville Jaguars?

If the former....yes, some....but also a lot of TBD....to be determineds. 

But, if JAX JAGS...just the one.

That would be interesting.....if not likely a successful tactic.  I would be curious to see how an NFL defense would handle that.  Especially on the goal line.  Maybe it would be successful there.   But, we would have to use our fullback.    Is Dan Vitale as good as Vaughn Broadnax?   (who remembers him....or think:  Pete Johnson,  Matt Snell,  John Brockington, Jim Otis.

I would consider Wentz a Superbowl winner because:

1. He was in the team, so he's got the ring.

2. He played 15 games

Out of the 52 Super Bowls there have been:

29 QB's named as the SB MVP

7 RB's named as the SB MVP (last one was Terrell Davis in SB 32)

If you are talking about  RBs taken in the top 5 of the draft since 2000 being in the Super Bowl....then the number is I think 3:   Bush, Lewis, James

But if you ask....how many QBs taken since 2000 in the top 5 of the draft....then it is the same number:  3:   Eli, Newton, Ryan.

Yes.. Anyone can basically skew this anyway they like I suppose.. But, I'm just of the mindset.. You take the QB you want #1 , And Live with the pick. then take BPA the rest of the draft... But yeah... We can split hairs all day long.. And the only denominator we'll come up with is theres really no exact science.. But on the other hand.. There have been tried and true processes for doing things "The right way"

Oh....don't get me wrong......I think we should take a qb #1.     The big quandary though is:   which one?   As I am not really enamored of any of them....not really.

Agreed ...... I guess Darnold or Rosen would be considered the safe picks.. But  Mayfield is intriguing.. I think all QB's now a days come with some sort of asterisk.. Its not like the old days where., Every QB was pretty much a prototypical 6'4" , 220.. Stand in the pocket , drive the ball kind of QB. Today , It's like you have flavors.. Depending on your system and philosophy.. You go with the flavor that suits your needs..

Just because Trent Richardson was picked that high does not mean that he should have gone there.

I fail to see what you are saying. From what I gathered you were saying we should draft Barkley because these running backs were picked in the top 5, excluding Giovanni who was picked 37th, and have all made the playoffs. Is that not what you were going for?

Saquon Barkley - Carlos Hyde - Duke Johnson

 

That right there is an allstar running game

 

Josh Gordon - Jarvis Landry - Terrel Pryor - Corey Coleman 

 

That right there is an allstar receiving group

 

Kevin Hogan - Tyrod Taylor - Baker Mayfield 

 

That right there is a really strong QB room

Barkley is more "tried and true" than any of the QB's in the draft.  I would go with this exceptional back and watch him & Duke Johnson catch short passes out of the backfield... There will still be at least 3 quality developmental QB's at #4.

#1 Barkley. ... Then ...  Trade our #4 to Buffalo for #12 & #22 and select QB's Lamar Jackson & Mason Rudolph to be our #2 & #3 QB's. But I did see that the Browns signed Kevin Hogan today.

Welcome to the Po Barkley at #1 Club. It's not happening. Neither is Lamar Jackson.

Yea, the Browns should drafted 2 1st rounders at QB, and then the rest get RBs. Each of the 4 QBs, assuming they stop at the 2 1sts, should get 1 quarter a game. 

I mean it makes complete sense. Everyone says Tyrod sucks, 1 person (Not family) thinks Hogan is a franchise guy, and then getting consensus 5th and 6th ranked guys in the draft. I mean what could possibly be bad about that. 

I mean from what I have seen, the Browns are only 4 QBs and Superman Barkley away from being the best team of ALL time

As I've looked at all of the RBs in the draft, a lot of them aren't going to be 3 down RBs

Flugs... in all sincerity... Why should we care about this? What is the value of a 3-down RB when no RB plays more than 2/3rds of the snaps in a game anymore?

Even though I have said this before, I will again. I dont dislike Barkley. I also don't think he will be a bust. What I do dislike is the constant overhyping of him. And then countless pages upon pages of him, and the refusal of any Superman fan to discuss 1 bit of his question marks. 

He is NOT more important than the right QB, even if he is close to ask great as we hear daily. Running backs just don't have the longevity of others in the league either.

I don't trust their stats, period. 

I just went and watched Penn States first game against the Zips last year and Barkley had 15 missed or broken tackles in the first quarter alone. 

cowpoop propaganda. 

This is the most pure example of cognitive dissonance available on the Browns board (and there’s a lot of it)
