Saquon reminds me of Aaron Donald in 2014. He’s just checking boxes all day long. Nelson too.

Man I had the biggest draft crush on Donald that year... missed by one effin' pick

I wish I had an inkling as to what we want to do in round 2. There should be some solid WRs/CBs/OLBs/OL available when we pick there.

Personally, I love taking WRs or CBs there.

Cleavland could easily go Barkley one mayfield four 

that would be some great RPOs 

If I were Cleveland, that’s what I’d do. Barkley at #1 and whichever QB I like best that was left at 4.

I'd imagine they would have to have a favorite though. If you think one is head and shoulders better you take him, IDC if Barkley is sitting there or not. It is much easier to get a quality back than a franchise QB. If you think everyone in this draft is Flacco (normal, not epic playoff run Flacco) then you pass on them. Missing on 5 potential franchise QBs in the first when they had the card ready is a massive issue, if they miss out again because of taking a HB, ooph. .  

Just for context, I like Rosen the best, but none of the QBs in this draft would be in the top 3 from last years draft for me. I'd take Tru, Watson, or Mahomes before any of them. I know @G08 and me led the Mahomes train for what, six months? lol

At least lol... that dude is going to be a blast to watch the next 10 years.

I’ve done basically zero research on the QBs this year. It’s really a nice mental break.

Ballage top 5 today in 40 yard dash (4.46), 3-cone (6.91) and broad jump (122”) at 6-1 227. ? 

My guy right there. Flying my full alma mater bias flag with no shame too. 

 

I'm doing the same with Taven Bryan. Can't wait to see him go off.

My #1 favorite prospect for Pick 39 right now. Dude is about as tailor made for that Justin Smith role in Vics D as you’re gunna find.

I like Ballage with one of our 4th rounders, but I worry that his good combine and Senior Bowl are going to boost his draft stack higher than it should really go.

His fumble rate was a bit scary, and he runs very high... I think he ends up being drafted to be a feature back after his SB/Combine.... but his best fit is honestly a team like ours where he can replace Cunningham and be Howard's backup or at most half of a running back tandem.  He's big enough to run with some power, and has rather excellent hands out of the backfield. I think Howard and him could make a really potent duo long term, and I think he'll need to be somewhat protected from by not being "the guy" on account of his running style otherwise shortening his shelf life if he gets too many carries.
