If Barks is not there at 3, we must trade down a few spots & grab Nelson.  Sign gd Norwell in FA, draft juice to pair w/ mack (extra pick for trading back).  That still leaves us with a 2nd rd-7 picks to do whatever your heart desires!

I think the Browns and Giants pick QBs 1-2....

 

..and the Browns must pick a QB at '1' BECAUSE the Giants will pick a QB at '2'

 

After watching more video, I feel the exact opposite. Remember, the Browns also get to pick at #4, so they need to ask themselves who they think the GIants or Colts will take. There's no way the Colts are taking a QB, and there's no way the Giants will either, as I feel Pat Shurmur made that clear in his Combine interview that they're committed to Eli, and a 1st round QB selection I feel would add too much drama in the Giants locker room. That is Eli's team.

 

It's certainly possible there's a trade-up, but I think the Browns will play the odds and assume a QB is available to them at #4, so in my opinion, it will be:
#1 Browns -- Barkley
#2 Giants -- Not a QB
#3 Colts -- O-line or D-Line
#4 Browns -- QB

[SolidGold]

Trade down with Jets # 6 We get :

rd 1 #6 - Nelson

rd 2 #36 + 50- Key , Hernandez 

rd 3 #67- BPA LB

rd 4 #100 + 102 - BPA RB & WR

rd 5 # 131- ?

rd 6 # 164- ?

rd 7 # 195- ?

jets rd 2 #? 2019

It's strange watching Barkley highlights...very few clips of him running with power.  He's built to be a power runner, but almost every clip is of him being elusive and running away from defenders.  Definitely has speed and is elusive.

IMO

  the only way the Browns take a QB at 1 is if they only have 1 guy in mind and/or are worried about a trade back by NYG and Colts

I doubt it too.

 

I just don't think the Football God's would want us to have such a Mega Star... It would be in the Best interests of the TV Networks, Media, Advertisers and League if he wound up in NY.

 

If Irsay wants him, they have to Trade up to get him.

wait a min. arent you the same poster that was against drafting Barkley? change of hearts?

No.... Always been my #1 choice UNLESS Luck is too questionable to come back Healthy then it would be a QB.

colts could trade their pick to someone that grabs a qb

 

and eli is 37 and declining.  QBs could certainly go 1-2, or 1-2-3 if we trade our pick

Yeah you have always said Barkley. You don't want Nelson If I am correct because he's a Guard.

He's the Lebron James of football. 

Does that mean he's taking his talents somewhere else once his rookie contract is up?

[Dark Superman]

Well, I just watched his post-combine interview.

He's going #1 or #2

[Dark Superman]

If only the Colts lost the last game of the season and ended up with the #2 pick.

Ugh.

He is not a power runner, he is a finesse RB. Everyone comparing him to AP is wrong. Look at his yards after contact they are not impressive. 

[BOTT]

Feel like I have wondered on to a football forum.....yr 1990.  Let's just ignore the statistical data showing the folly of using a premium pick on a rb and shout "GENERATIONAL".

Arden Key is so terrible what are you saying

[Stephen]

Trade back and get guice

[needanoline63]

Let’s hope browns and giants don’t get QB’s when free agency opens. The browns need a QB no matter what and giants need to start grooming Manning’s replacement. But they can do that through free agency. I hope we get barkley. After those freakish numbers at the combine. We can’t pass up if he’s there

[Dark Superman]

Just give me a well-balanced team to put around Luck.

Decent Offensive Line.

Some weapons to work with.

A respectable defense that can keep us in games.

I watched Luck win a lot of games with nothing.

Give me a well-balanced team and we will win games.

[Stephen]

colts will draft a wr in the first

[richard pallo]

I think it's highly probable QB's go 1 and 2.  Browns can't take the chance and not take their top QB on the board.  Giants should take the heir to ElI but they could also trade back a few spots and let another team take a QB and get more picks.  that leaves the Colts and if QB's go 1 and 2  I think Ballard will take Baclay because I believe we are fixing the OL in FA.  We will go defense in the 2nd. rd. 

[#12.]

 We finally get a top pick and if things fall as it appears they might, it could end up being bad year to have the #3.  Chubb ain't Von Miller.

Never said that 

  Said a RB relys on so many things to be successful    

   The only two O players to touch the ball on every play are the C and QB

i dont worry about snap counts or touches when it comes to drafting players.  WRs get like 5-10 touches a game, but they can also get 100+ yards in those touches

 

running backs can get 20+ touches which is easily enough to impact the outcome of the game in a big way.  barkley is a good blocker too, and his presence will effect defenses even when he doesnt get the hand off

 

if you dont think the line is good enough for barkley, then its not good enough for luck, brissett or anyone else either

I don’t that is why I said if the OL is not addressed in FA in must be in the Draft

Who wants Chubb ? Nelson is the man that will be blocking at a high level for 10+ years.

Nelson is solid, Solid

 

That's who Andrew would pick!

[oldunclemark]

  We cant go wrong with Chubb, Barkley or Nelson

 

That's why tanking for draft picks is pointless. If we drafted 1st or 2nd, we'd still be divided on who to pick because we don't need a QB

Rob, Browns must get a QB and their choices may change by the 4th pick.

Giants have a bad offensive line (to be kind)

Will they pass on Nelson for Barkley and will they leave every QB on the board.?

Nelson is the surest bet in the draft.

 

Barkley and Chubb may very much be available at 3

[ThorstenDenmark]

we might need to trade up if we want him...:(

ol needs to be a priority in FA, it just has to

 

thats why i was getting irritated yesterday, we have 80 million to spend and there are guys available.  any starting guard that hits the market is an upgrade to what we have.  we also have literally no one from our own drafts to pay in the next couple years 

[needanoline63]

Frank Reich said he likes the running back depth in the draft so I guess that really rules out saquon barkley

I think the browns pick barkley and giants take chubb leaving us with nelson or a trade back. Browns get a qb at 4 and giants get one later in draft

While there are some other good rbs they not as explosive as barkley. Guice and michel are more physical than barkley but penny is a good pass protector.

So if we draft Barkley, there is no way to address the O-line?

 

We absolutely must draft an O-lineman in the 1st or else there is no other way to protect Luck? 

 

Could it be possible to acquire someone through FA or using other draft picks to address the O-line? Or does it have to be our first round pick otherwise, it's no good?

 

 

They will never draft  Barkley even if they had the #1 spot. Charles Barkley, maybe.

[JColts72]

The ol has needed to be addressed since manning left.

I Don't either. That's why I'm leaning trading down as far as #11 and getting as many 2nd & 3rd rd. picks as I can.
