hoorta Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Don't encourage Po. He's been sort of scarce around here since his other hero (Hogan) got traded for a bag of magic beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Here's the thing: Without a good passing attack, Barkley will be an average RB. The difference in Todd Gurley is a good example. Todd Gurley stats CAREER STATS Year Team ATT YDS AVG TD REC YDS AVG TD 2017 Rams 279 1,305 4.7 13 64 788 12.3 6 2016 Rams 278 885 3.2 6 43 327 7.6 0 First Dorsey has to take who he thinks is the best QB in this draft for his team. We cannot let our QB go to another team. Draft him at #1. It's the QB that makes the RB...not the other way around. Then, if the #2 pick (Giants?) don't pick him, he'll be there at 4. And then we'll see how much Dorsey likes a RB high in round 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoeticG Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hogan didn't get traded... He asked to be traded. Not quite the same thing. And I just got back from a 2 week vacation in Florida... it was the bomb. But now it's full steam ahead for the draft! Barkley or Bust #1!!!

Not because I was a huge NC State Wolfpack or ECU fan..but we shall see on Mitch'L..This draft am worried about B.Chubb & a big fan of his. Most see Chubb,Street & BJ Hill on defense & say "how can they lose up front". well They did, a lot to my disappointment. Blame the post rankings from ESPN but most media markets posted the same Pre-CFB defensive rankings. Listed is "pre" season order. than in ( ) is where they finished..#1) Buckeyes(9) 2. Clemson (4) 3.FSU(18)//(unranked Michigan finished 3rd overall). 4)Miami(38) 5.NC State(58!) 6)Alabama(1) 7)Auburn(14) 8)Washington(8) 9.LSU(12) 10.Wisconsin(2)...None of the big 3 guys missed any games for NC State. Packs Points allowed was far worse... A.) We Can't Score TD's!!( Why not Barkey if he falls to #4) B.) We still have no Replacement for Joe Haden long term. (Why not Denzel Ward or Mikah at #4?) Am just not seeing the bigger talent roster gap as starters between Ogbah or Chubb..All am seeing is better DE Depth to sub-packages & maybe bring some QB heat more off\n.Which we need that too ..tick tock (come on Thursday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think a pretty good RB could be had in round 2. But ya know what, if they want to give TieRod the best RB in the draft as a weapon so they can go 'win now'....who's gonna fault them?

PoeticG Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Here's a projection of what a Saquon first draft could look like. Why don't a few of you guys try out a couple of these? Your Picks:Round 1 Pick 1: Barkley, Saquon, RB, Penn State (A)Round 1 Pick 4: Mayfield, Baker, QB, Oklahoma (A-)Round 2 Pick 1: Jackson, Josh, CB, Iowa (A)Round 2 Pick 3: Price, Billy, C/OG, Ohio State (A-)Round 2 Pick 32: Washington, James, WR, Oklahoma State (A)Round 4 Pick 14: Cobbs Jr, Simmie, WR, Indiana (A+)Round 5 Pick 13: Hill, Holton, CB, Texas (A+)Round 6 Pick 1: Carlson, Daniel, K, Auburn (A+)Round 7 Pick 1: Flowers, Dimitri, FB, Oklahoma (A+)Your Future Picks: 2019 Round 1 Pick2020 Round 1 Pick RB/QB Combo 2- WRs that are playmakers- or we could have had St. Brown or Christian Kirk- depends on which ones you like. Josh Jackson could be a contender for the #1 CB spot. Hill, while I think he'll be gone earlier, could be a project at Safety. Great Center from Ohio State, should give us an even better offensive line in the future. Flowers was Mayfield's swiss army knife in college, giving him a familiar face/target and adding him to the running back room will allow for some interesting matchup situations. Kicker? - While I'm fond of Gonzales, he's our kicker. I'm still looking for the next Dawson. We need a guy that we can count on 100% to put three up for us if we can get close enough.
