Popular Post JetBlue Posted September 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2020 I like Barkley and it is too bad about his injury, but this is why you don't take a running back with the 2nd pick in the draft. The Giants are going nowhere fast and in a year they are going to have to decide if they want to resign him and take up a big chunk of their cap space. I think the sweet spot for taking a running back, even the elite talents should be late first, thru 3rd with a lot of solid backs lasting a lot longer even into the 5 and 6th rounds. It's funny but I wonder how would Darnold perform if the Giants had taken him and had a chance to play with OBJ. Anyway, it sucks that Barkley is out for the season. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post slimjasi Posted September 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2020 Brutal. The Jets and the Giants are both going to have top 5 picks, most likely. But, at least the Giants are competitive and don't get blown out every game. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhg1084 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Late 1st is the time to start taking running backs. Kansas City hit a home run with their 1st round running back this year as an example 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PS17 Posted September 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2020 Chubb is better than Barkley and he went in the 2nd. Drafting RBs early in the first is so foolish in the modern NFL. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, they didn't get blown out by the Steelers. But 26-16 in a home game isn't exactly "keeping it close" either. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetBlue Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 This draft might one day be considered as much for the running backs as for the wide receivers. James Taylor, Halaire-Smith, Dobbins, Antonio Gibson and that UDFA James Robinson are a few running backs that are looking very good so far. I hope Perine can join them once he gets on the field. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as Barkley is and was projected to be, the position he plays did not justify his draft position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 If the Giants really want to evaluate Daniel Jones' FQB prospects and ability to raise those around him then they need to not only lose Barkley but sideline Sterling Shepherd and Darius Slayton as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first dumb thing they did was trading OBJ and still having a bunch of his salary on their cap. Not only did it allow teams to focus more closely on him, but some what hamstrung the FO ability to bring reinforcements. Imagine if they had kept OBJ, Barkley and Daniel Jones. Both Barkley and Jones were not going to be making a lot of money so you could afford OBJ salary and give your young qb a few nice weapons to develop with. Never understood what they were thinking... I realize the traded OBJ away before drafting Jones but we knew they wanted a quarterback after not taking one the previous year. Lets face it, the Giants have been something of train wreck themselves the last few years but because they those Super Bowl Trophies, they can get away it with a lot more than the Jets can. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
