David Johnson was a 3rd round pick and Le'Veon Bell was a 2nd round pick. Jordan Howard, #2 in rushing last year, was a 5th round pick. Devonta Freeman, who just got $41 million, was a 4th round pick. Oh and current 49er Carlos Hyde, a 2nd round pick, is #3 in the NFL in rushing.

Not sure why one person's talent is predicated on the draft position of those before him. Please evaluate players based on their skill, not the skill of others.

For those who are saying that taking a RB with a top 3 pick is ridiculous, you have to understand that he is a freak of nature and has GOAT talent. He is an offensive weapon that needs to be accounted for. His skill set mimics marshall faulk's. He's probably the safest draft pick going in the top 10.

Lynch and Shanny are not stupid. Both probably already know it will be stupid to pass on this guy given he meets every skill set in this team. The dilemma will be whether we take a QB or not over this guy. My sense is that if no other stand out talents pop up, ShannaLynch will pay Cousins and select Barkley and bye bye Hyde.

Without Fournette, the jags offense is nothing. Who cares what he's averaging. The fact is that he's effective and doing what other guys couldn't do on the jaguars for years.

QB and pass rusher are our biggest needs. If we address both of those in FA or have our eye on someone in the 2nd or 3rd for those positions, then yes...take Barkley.

Sometimes i cant believe the way Barkley moves with his size. He is built like a fullback but runs like darren sproles. Insane!

Yeah that would be a dynamic offense but the QB is not good anymore.

The Giants should spend their first overall pick on the OL.
