Eli needs to be better than one of the worst starting QBs in the NFL for us to compete.
I think he was top 20 last year, but we will go forever on this again if we start to discuss that. Lets hope Barkley is an Adrian Petterson type of back and not a Reggie Bush. If this kid doesn't win rookie of the year it will be a disappointment, good oline or bad oline.
 
The most perplexing thing is Gettlemen completely showing his hand the entire time. But I guess he didn’t give a f*** since he knew it was Barkley from Day 1.
 
To where and for what and to take who?

To everyone. Edge, we just made him the second highest paid RB in the league. We now have $12M invested in the RB position. The least important position on the entire offense save for RG, maybe.

Barkley at 2 is terrible value. Awful. The average shelf life of a RB is about 6 years. A rookie contract + option is 5 years. The fact that we will be asking the following question in five years is nuts: Are we going to sign the number two overall pick to a second contract?

And this draft has INCREDIBLE RB depth. Just fantastic depth. I'd be pretty surprised if Barkley was the best RB in this draft.

Fair enough.

Can’t say I see it being that black and white. But fair enough.
 
Honestly whoever gets Rosen is getting a steal

Agreed. It's like when Rodgers fell to 24th way back when, even tho the circumstances were different.

I think Alex Smith was the only QB taken ahead of him that year.
