luckyBatistuta Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 1 hour ago, dougal said: When the QB class is this strong, then surely you get the best player in the draft first (Barkley), safe in the knowledge that you'll get one of the top QBs at 4. Lots of reports in the states saying that Giants won't go for a QB at 2. That way you'll get one of the top 2 at 4. Top running backs seem on recent evidence to bring way more to their team in the first few seasons than QBs so think if the Browns do want Barkley they should get him at 1. Yup, Barkley will improve the whole team, helps with the run, pass and also keep them on the field longer, so also helping the defense too. Quite a few of the QB’s look like they have the potential to be great, but less guarantees than taking a Barkley for me. I just can’t see Barkley’s transition to the NFL being a problem in any way whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed it, some interesting stuff in there. Whether you like him or not, you have to respect the dedication and commitment he puts in to being the best he can possibly be. I know there is tension between Belichick and Guerrero, but Brady seems as fit as he possibly could he at his age and no signs of slowing either, so he must be doing something right. Oh, and if Edelman was made of chocolate, he really would eat himself. Think I dislike him even more now (which is difficult) after watching this. Anyway, definitely worthy of a view Been watching these at lunch time at work, really enjoyed it. The scenes with Gisele surfing and wearing leggings were my favourite moments.

I can’t see that happening , but going to stick a couple of quid on it anyway, just for an extra bit of fun whilst watching it.

Ross992 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Browns have been burned so many times at QB. For me take Barkley 1st then take the best QB available at 4. They then have a (little) less pressure on them going forward. Give Tyrod Taylor the first 6 games of the season and see where you are.

Really good read and kinda goes along my own thoughts that Mayfield and Darnold are the only 2 worth taking (that early)...which is why I don't buy the get Barkley first and take whichever QB is left at 4 mantra. I reserve the rights to deny this when Rosen/Allen wins MVP this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced by it, but the crowds at the London games at the moment are impressive. I suspect if there was another franchise relocation, other cities might have a more compelling case. Ther certainly is some support for it within the NFL so could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but time difference means it will never work for the advertisers/TV companies. What if they make the playoffs with home advantage? Would they ever be an attractive option for a prime time game?

luckyBatistuta Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Just having a look at some of the betting for the draft. You can name the first three picks in order. Anybody have an opinion on what they think the first three picks will be? After seeing the odds suddenly plummeting on Mayfield going number 1, I’m going for... 1/ Mayfield 2/ Darnold 3/ Rosen I know it seems likely the Giants would take Chubb or Barkley, but I’m going for Darnold at 2, just in case someone tries to trade up with the Giants for him, or possibly even take him themselves.
