If I were running the Browns, Carlos Hyde would not deter me from taking the best player on the board. Barkley and Hyde would form a fantastic running duo.
Barkley would add excitement to the Cleveland franchise that clearly needs it. This strategy would allow the Browns to get the best player in draft and a top quarterback at No. 4.
Barkley’s game-breaking ability will force teams to stack the box, allowing Josh Gordon and David Njoku to run against single coverage more often.
The Cleveland Browns must not overthink this pick. Barkley will sell jerseys and help guide them to their first victory since Dec. 24, 2016. (Justin)
Previous Pick: Unchanged
Quenton Nelson is one of the surest prospects in this class. He is big, mean and doesn’t care about you. He could immediately step in at left guard and start next to newly signed left tackle Nate Solder and turn one of the team’s biggest weaknesses into an overwhelming strength.
The Giants are ready to compete now, and taking a quarterback here would not fit along that line of thinking. By drafting Nelson, New York can get the best of both worlds by helping Eli Manning now and giving the offensive line a building block for down the road. (Steve)
Previous Pick: Unchanged
The signing of AJ McCarron will not be enough for this regime. It is clear, with the moves they have made, they want a quarterback from this year’s class.
At No. 3 overall, they will get their pick of the group. In this scenario, they opt to go with Josh Rosen.
Rosen is as polished of a quarterback as they get. His mechanics and footwork allow him to work the pocket and dissect opposing defenses. He has been called cocky based some actions during his time at UCLA, but they are not enough to stop the Bills from betting on him.
He will get the chance to start from day one and make Bills Mafia even rowdier then they are now. (Justin)
