No chance in hell we get Barkley. But I don't think we need him. Bell will be on the team next year, most likely. He'll either be tagged or have a new contract. I highly doubt he would sit out for a year or retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 where will Barkley go in the draft? If we pick at earliest now is 24, to move up it will cost us. In the process of losing bell, what do we get for compensatory picks. We might want to trade with some soon to be bad teams to get more value from the picks Barkley runs similar to bell, and would be part of the killer B's I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Barkey goes to the Browns on their 2nd pick. I think that is 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neumatic Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 It’s the 4th pick and I agree, that’s my best guess where Barkley goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is 5 I really really really hope that doesnt happen, because the results are twofold for me....1) the Browns get a great young RB and 2) I cant cheer for him anymore.. Hoping to hell the Colts draft him to give Luck a running game when he comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The Colts could draft anyone. I think it will be either Bradley Chubb, DE, North Carolina State or Quenton Nelson, OG, Notre Dame. I personally think they have the worst talent in all of the NFL. They have nothing on so many levels. Oline and Dline suck. No Lbs. No RBs behind Gore. No CBs. If the Colts were mart they would trade down ASAP. For a lot of teams, I will ask myself which of their players I would want for the Steelers. Malik Hooker is the only one on the Colts I would take. The only way Barkley slides is the amazing depth of the RB position in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also probably take Sheard over Dupree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have a feeling someone is going to trade up with either the Browns or in front of the Browns to get Barkley. Fournette is why I think that. I'm not saying Barkley is Fournette, I'm saying he is going to have an equal impact for the team that drafts him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can appreciate that he is focused on this season. At the end of the day, as much as we all hate it, this is a business. If we do lose him, the only thing that would make me hate him as a player is if he goes to a division rival or the New England Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 I just turned the pregame on and missed what laconfora said, but he said that Bell will be back with the steelers next year. Anyone hear what he said. If it was crapaport I wouldn't have asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why trade up for a RB in a loaded class? if we got an extra RD1 pick as compensation for Bell leaving , then try to get Barley for example. How do compensatory picks work with franchise tag? I would prefer a dominant OL with depth and another good RB and more depth at RB. We have seen what happens when the elite players get hurt, so depth and consistently winning in the trenches is what I am expecting if Bell signs to another team.

I am sorry, I am just seeing this. The propaganda is designed to hurt/distract or cause drama on the team. With propaganda or click-bait, a statement is asked and it is usually totally out of context of what they are talking about or came to interview him about. Then the quote is turned into a separate headline to look like in the middle of the play-offs rather than focusing on the game, the player is focused on their contract next year. Players trust the media and they "bait them into talking." Twenty-something athletes don't always think about those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
