iknowcool Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 6 hours ago, Daniel said: Yeah, RB in the first is generally a bad idea. And don't come at me with the why not WRs argument. As for why WR is different: because you can consistently find waiver wire RBs that can do a RB1 job. Are they as good as an elite RB? No, but the dropoff isn't that big. Do you have any evidence that shows that it is easier to find a late-round or waiver wire RB1 production than to do the same with a WR1 production?

ThatJaxxenGuy Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I like Saquon and do think his talent was that insane coming out, but when you’re as bad as the Giants have been for the last decade, a stud tail back is a luxury you really can’t afford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_W Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 13 QBs that draft 2 are franchisers(did they become franchise QBs because they went to teams with everything in place already?) jury still out on Baker 3 of the 5 Rd1 QBs are better than average I think the highest stat producer of franchise QBs is the Heisman trophy winner; after Baker went, there was 1 Heisman winner left and he was the safest bet. I don't really see why this needs to be a thread for a guy who took a lot of injuries no one wants to talk about 2017 and the 7 people picked before Mahomes, CMC & Watson?? I was really excited to see Saquon play after being drafted; and I still am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 You need a defense to compliment Saquon. Then you can win games the Steelers, Ravens, Bears, and Vikings used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s “generational” it doesn't work very well in the passing league anyway. Even if he is the 2nd coming of Jim Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of the 4th quarter with a big lead that your trying to salt away, every time you hand the ball off to a RB the defense cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Smithers Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 The more I think About it the more i disagree with this notion that you don’t draft a RB high. Especially today. If Saquon was just a pure runner then sure. But he’s a threat in the passing game which great added value to the ground game. Plus if you don’t surround that RB with help around him whether it be a dynamic receiver or a good line then that’s an indictment on the FO.

offbyone Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 They just picked him too early in their rebuild and wasted the best tread on his tires on crap teams. You don't draft a top flight running back to build with, you get one as a final piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only get capitol like that once in a blue moon, or if you’re the Jets. Many needs are near impossible to fill if you don’t use a high first rounder (QB, pass rusher, and lockdown CB to a lesser extent). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornbybrown Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Bad teams shouldn’t take a RB in the first especially early. Good teams wanting to add a piece to the puzzle is different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 The only singular reason it looks like a Bad pick is because of injury. We're not having this discussion in the slightest with a fully healthy Saquon Barkley his first 3 years. That I'm certain of. No one can predict injury, to any position.
