I love Barkley and think that he's dynamic enough to warrant a Top 5 pick BUT RB is more of a luxury for us right now as we desperately need QB and WR help first, plus this draft is extremely deep in the RB department (Chubb, Harris, Guice, Michel, Love, Adams) and we could get major value in the 2nd/3rd round here. (See: Kareem Hunt). I'd be happy with Barkley at 5 and wouldn't be the least upset, but he wouldn't be my first choice personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, at what point is his production going to be mentioned? 3 100 yard games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, after him I want all offensive talent. Gross. Why would we waste a Top 7 selection on a SS/LB type when we already have one in Jabrill Peppers playing out of position? How about we find a real FS so Peppers can be placed back at SS where he can play in the box and in 1v1 coverage and actually win the match up unlike Kindred who was toasted yesterday.

Dogbite Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Teams are game planning just to take out Barkley when he isn't reaching 100 on the ground he is still producing in the pass game. I am, however, fine with passing on Barkley in the Top 5 for one simple reason. Josh Adams is a tank and I am liking him and his running style more and more. He has very good vision and he makes one cut and gets down hill hard and runs through would be arm tackles with ease(Isaiah Crowell gets tackled by fingers).

Aren't great players still expected to produce? Didnt teams gameplan for guys like AP, Tomlinson, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbite Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 206 touches for 1423 yards and 14 touchdowns. He is still producing very well just not how you want him to produce. No one that I had ever watched before or since has been close to the same level as Adrian Peterson and I am more than positive if Barkley played a powder puff schedule like Tomlinson did in college then he would have double the production he has right now.

Dogbite Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Ladainian Tomlinson averaged 5.7 yards from scrimmage as a senior against a weak schedule. SaQuan Barkley is averageing 6.9 yards from scrimmage this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkley's yards per touch is aided by the fact he's featured in the pass game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbite Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Barkley 5.4 per rush and 11 TDs on 166 carries Tomlinson 5.8 per rush and 10 TDs on 369 carries against Nevada Northwestern Arkansas State Navy Hawaii Tulsa Rice San Jose State Fresno State UTEP SMU Southern Miss Keep trying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Barkley is third in his CONFERENCE in rushing yards and not even in the same hemisphere as the top guys in YPC. Im not saying he sucks, but at what point do folks look at his production and perhaps consider he's not a one man wrecking crew capable of saving our run game all by himself like some think he is?

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 If you're trying to debate who's better between Barkley and Tomlinson, I like my odds with LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbite Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I am debating your idiotic notion that Barkley is not a Top 5 talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 LT had 22 TD's, not 10. Keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
