Uncle Buck Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Wow! Barkley could turn out to be the right pick, but it took a pair of solid brass ones to take a RB with Darnold still on the board. Good luck with him Giants fans. He should be one of the all-time great running backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohbeejay Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Wow. They actually screwed themselves royally. Can't believe they doubled down on Eli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go_Giants Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Not a fan of the pick, hope Barkley proves me wrong. It will be painful watching the Jets if Darnold becomes a franchise QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind them having faith in Eli so much. Just not sure about investing in a RB so early with a below average offensive line. Our best two offensive lineman right now is one of smallest centers in the NFL and an above average left tackle. Given the limited life of a running back in the NFL, just not sure how effective he will be. If he is the next Adrian Peterson he will be worth it. From what little I have seen he looks more like the next Reggie Bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmen Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Barkley is a David Johnson, leveon Bell type dual threat. He’s worth the #2 pick. It’s going to be awesome to see this guy on the field with OBJ and Engram. That being said, they better be right about Eli having gas left in the tank. Because if Darnold become a top 10 QB for the jets and the Eli era stutters to an end, fans will not forgive Gettleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt that, but how many quality OL will be gone by then. We should have traded down to #4 or #5 picked up Nelson, then used the the extra picks to move back into the first round and pick up a quality tackle. I think we would have been much better off accepting the offer of what the Jets gave to the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading down is a two team deal. You need to find the a trade partner and find the right compensation. Also the Jets traded upwhile ago, we assumed that a better or similar offer would happen.

I am sure we can pick up a good guard in the second round, but quality tackles are a rare commodity. There might be a quality tackle when we pick in the second round. I would not bet on one being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkley isn't just "flash." He produced behind a terrible o-line. Drafting a player also ISN'T just about talent. Remember, they learn everything there is to know about their prospects as a person. They loved Barkley from top to bottom. He's a true LEADER and the type of guy that will change your locker room - even if he had no talent... oh yeah and he also happens to be the Calvin Johnson of RBs.

Of course I am not comparing Brandon Marshall to Saquon Barkley, I am comparing what people are saying about what our offensive should be last year, like they are saying what it should be now. When the offense line still can't block. I hope you right about his ability to produce behind a bad offensive line. It is one thing to do so on the college level, it is whole different world to do so in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the offense line still can't block. I'll say it again, Orleans Darkwa ran for 750 yards on 4.5 ypc behind the Giants line while only getting carries in the second half of the year. If Saquon Barkley can't at least do better then that, then yeah, it's a bad pick. But I'm pretty confident he will. 26 minutes ago, Go_Giants said: It is one thing to do so on the college level, it is whole different world to do so in the NFL. That's what people said about Aaron Donald, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
