2018 NFL Draft


Recommended Posts

I don't think there's any team that would pay the price for that #1 pick. None of the QB needing teams would pay to jump up that high, not when there are 4 reasonably good options + Jackson in the late first all on the board.

Browns should trade out of #1 if they are not taking a QB there.

I disagree. Take your QB. Do not gamble on your QB. You have the #1 pick, take who you like the most at that position.  Than take best position player at 4 or move down.

The #1 pick salary slot is also an awful lot to pay a running back. The 5 year deal is $32 million. Only 2 RB in the NFL have total contracts more than that (Bell would be the 3rd if ever signed), and none have guaranteed money that high. That's tiny if you get a good QB for that money.

Is the combination of Barkley + 1 one of the quarterbacks greater than Mayfield and someone else, knowing that with three top QBs on the board you will get ONE of them for sure?

Yeah - I would not even think about taking Barkley at #1. That is crazy talk. If Browns don't want to take a QB, they should trade down.

I dunno..."We can't pick between the top 3 quarterbacks so we're going to let the other teams decide for us" definitely does seem like a Cleveland kind of statement, and I don't mean that in a good way.

If your staff can't pick which QB they think is the best then I think there's a bigger problem with your staff.

If the separation between them isn't that large, and the separation between Barkley and the rest of the Non-QB field is that large, it is a fair question.

I completely agree with you. They essentially took the strategy of let everyone else pick last year, ended up with Kizer (who fell) and they took him. Now they are looking for a QB again.  Just sack up and take the QB that you best believe in.

While I think Barkley is a great pick...we already have a very good running back so I really have zero desire of Barkley falling to us.  Odd to say and maybe famous last words...I just think we have a lot more areas of need and getting a really really good defensive player would be quite nice (as would getting an all pro type of guard).

If, somehow, Barkley falls to the Bears pick, I'd imagine they have 4 or 5 trade offers that come in pretty quick. I can't believe he'd get past Tampa.

Oh I agree, I don't see him falling to the Bears. Impossible.

agree.  at worst you're guaranteed one and at this point it's all a crap shoot.  They'd be nuts to pass on Barkley IMO...

I feel like aside from the fact there are so many QBs at the top this is actually a really boring draft. I can't get myself to get excited about the Bears pick unless Chubb or Saquon miraculously fell.

I have a queasy feeling in my gut the Bears end up with Davenport....God I hope not!

I'm totally okay with Davenport. Nice upside potential. I really think we are going LB of some sort.  With this passing league if you can get an elite pass rusher, you do it.  All depends on how you grade Davenport out.  Seems like of all the guys likely to be there at 8, Davenport is near the top side in terms of ability to become an elite pass rusher, but he comes with a lot more risk given small school, etc.  Pair that with Floyd and you are talking about a pretty dynamic combination.

I don't think you take him at 8 tho.  He had a nice combine...sure.  Physical specimen sure.  The small school thing scares me.  Very....John Thierryish (RIP John).

On the flip side, if Allen was their guy yesterday, I think they do still like him as a player, offensive tweets or not. I think it's a huge PR nightmare if you intentionally takes him at 1. However, if you know he's slipping out of the top 3, and say you can trade down to 5 and still take him, the PR hit isn't as bad since you're just taking whichever QB that's "left" at that point.

Giants have a 37 year old Eli Manning and took a RB.

If you really don't believe in any of the QBs, its not the wrong pick. I guess I don't know the Giants needs, but it says more about the QBs than anything.
