That would depend on our offensive scheme and who runs it, wouldn't it? We need a creative play caller and that is what is going to take our offense to the next level. If Josh McDaniels comes here, he might have us make a push for him. However, he has had a taste of success at the highest level, somehow I doubt he will not give a hometown discount to the Patriots.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying Dion Lewis is not a good back or is not more versatile than Fournette, I just did not want people to forget to put Fournette's numbers in context, that is all.
I see. Thanks for the clarification.

FWIW, no one fears Bortles or the Jags pass catchers as much as they fear Brady and his pass catchers, so Fournette faced far more stacked boxes.
His yards after contact lead the league as well chad72.

Wouldn't blame him
Yeah, same here.

Could Josh Rosen pull a Eli Manning/John Elway where he could be drafted by the Browns but demand a trade to get out? Food for thought.

I have a feeling the Giants take Barkley and stick with Eli for at least 2 more years. Giants need a RB badly. Browns will take a QB IMO.
That is my thought as well.

Have a feeling your going to get your way anyway. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if the Browns take Barkley 1st and then Darnaud or Allen fourth.
What reason do people have that we should take Barkley besides all the restating of cliches that "he's a generational talent" and "have you seen the film?" These reasons could only fill up a small book for kids that are mostly pictures and don't make sense at all. I have given true reasoning to back up my thesis, where is yours? Or anybody that backs Barkley up for that matter? All I'm saying is I would like some reasoning the preference of Barkley besides "he's a generational talent".

Why would Toub be OC he's a ST coach that's a terrible idea and I doubt KC let's him leave for another coordinator job

If nothing else he will be tagged he isn't going anywhere
True,true. Pittsburgh is in a tough spot regarding FA dollars that's for sure!

humm i wonder if this raises the chance for teams wanting to trade into the 3rd round
Exactly, it does! Only if we hadn't won on Sunday...

I agree with everyone you have targeted including and especially Bell! but i think the Steelers would let go of their whole team before they let Bell or Brown hit the FA market
The 'Burgh only has 2 million in free agency, I think Bell will be gone...

Thanks Superman, probably deserved it's own thread.

Teams that are not only young but not as dependent upon a QB as we are(unfortunately that is how it is for us at this point) are going to be good for a long time.
Rankings:
1.Vikings
2.Rams
3.Jags
Analysis:
The Vikings have a Super Bowl contending team that is young surrounding a competent QB in Case Keenum. The same goes for the Rams and Jags. One honorable mention is the Eagles but they are obviously not a SB team w/out Wentz so he has to stay healthy. The Jags I believe have the most upside because Blake Bortles will most likely be replaced with a better QB this offseason.

To all Barkley fans: Look, I get that he would be an amazing compliment to Luck.
But look at this stat:
Andrew Luck is undefeated (25-0) when the Colts allow 19 points or less in his NFL career
That said, I feel that we have to take Chubb and then go with the O-Line in later rounds and with free agency as well. Imagine if we could allow 19 points or less every game in 2018? Not 16-0, but very close to that. Chubb would be the best option to help rush the passer so our DB's don't have to be in coverage for over 10 seconds per snap.

Explanation? They don’t have a QB and he is hyped up big time. I guess waiting for the combine is a smarter time to begin those types of predictions.
Not one NFL draft expert has Mayfield @ No.1. They might take him later, but not at No. 1.

Thanks.

just look at the last two years and you see why. Cowboys took zeke and he had a stellar year..then last year jax takes fourtnette and again stellar year. what does that equal you ask? Its Our Turn!!
I'll let this article from Chris Shepherd explain. These RB's have not contributed in ways that you think they have:
Also PFF ranks Fournette 24th among NFL HB's:
https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/leonard-fournette/11759
Leonard Fournette averaged 3.9 YPC in 2017.
Dion Lewis averages 5.0 YPC and he could be a free agent this year. The Colts should get him if they can at a thrifty price. I get it that Barkley is good but even Todd Gurley had a sophomore slump. Frank Gore's longevity is exception, not rule.
Some Dion Lewis highlights to chew on:
-
One of the nations best offensive tackle prospects has declared for the draft:
-
David Shaw is a high ranked NFL coaching candidate among ESPN analysts:
Maybe he actually has a shot at a HC job somewhere if not here.
Purely speculation though.

I agree here. I’m guessing the Browns want Mayfield

I still don’t get the love... he didn’t even lead college football in yards per carry or even rush yards... he was 23rd I. Rush yards...
Bryce Love?
No, but I think Barkley is the best RB in the draft I just don't think we should draft him.

Which ever one provides a good defense I am for. The key is having good players and a good coach calling plays not a 4/3 or 3/4. If it was the later all the teams in the league would run that defense.
Agree. Let's get fast and aggressive players on our defense to win games!
That is my thought as well.
Sorry, just have been waiting for the right time to use that...
No, but I think Barkley is the best RB in the draft I just don't think we should draft him.

Saw this on ESPN, figured I would share it. Gruden says there's a good chance of his hiring by Oakland.
