Thread: If We Draft Saquon Barkley......

He only had 5 100 yd games last season. He never rushed for 1500 yards in a season. I just think it's funny that so many people claim it's a bad idea to draft a guard at 5 but drafting a RB who was 28th in the nation in rushing yards is a splendid idea. RBs have a short shelf life while a guard could last 10-15 years.

    I'd rather have Nelson and Sony Michel than Barkley and Wynn, but that's just me.
    Depends on how they want to use him. As I pointed out, if they envision him as a Christian McCaffrey type player and they loved McCaffrey, and you could get 80-100 pass receptions a year from him, then obviously he's worthy of that #5 pick.

    I would personally take Nelson because that OL desperately needs an attitude makeover if they are ever to be successful, and he brings elite talent and nasty on every play. But, Barkley is valuable too. The Broncos are severely lacking in offensive weapons and he's a real weapon.

    I love Soney. He is a Clinton Portis clone. He is the RB I want us to get so so badly. Sadly, it looks like we intend to go ILB in the second round. Hopefully, we take that Fred Werder guy at the top of the 3rd instead and grab Soney with our 2nd.

    Nick Chubb is awesome too, I love him. He reminds me of Jamal Lewis.
    Penny is a stud as well, he reminds me of MJD (so does our henderson)
    Geuce is a damn Buffalo! That guy is a not quite as fast Fornette

    All of those above will be EXCELLENT players in the NFL.


    Kalen ballage is a could be- he reminds me of the guy that played in buffalo but I foget his name. I see a latavious Murray in him (meaning he has all the physical tools but sucks)


    There are still a have dozen other RBs in this draft that I like a lot. Such a deep class this year. My money is on Soney being best of the bunch. He just looks and reminds me so much of Portis.
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    Two things doggydogfish:

    1. VJ said it in an interview not too long ago. I do not remember the exact quote but it was something along the lines of: "We have these players blah blah and new position coaches blah blah, we are excited for him to work there and to work potentially with a (ILB) that early in the draft, that is exciting!"......Something like that.

    2. One of the media people that Chris works with also said that we look to take one early.


    Now who knows who that is, what player or what round. Someone may fall or someone may take the guy we want but it sure seems like they want one and want one early.

    They wanted a guy who could play ILB and cover TEs on 3rd down, which Todd Davis cannot, he's just a 2 down guy, but they just traded for S'ua Cravens who can do just that.

    Perhaps they would take a LB in the 2nd round, but only if that guy was at the top of their boards. They have much bigger needs at Rb, WR, TE, RT, G, CB and DT/DE, not to mention QB.

    If they don't draft a QB in the first round they might look at one in the second to bring in behind Keenum and groom for a season or two. Lamar Jackson, Mason Rudolph, and Luke Falk are the leading candidates there.

    It does not appear that Klatt was digging very deep. A guy whose getting something on the average of 15 carries a game isn't more than like very deep into the second half.

    I'm not sure what point is with Michel, he was number two back behind Nick Chubb who btw had 6.0 ypc. UGA also had 670 rushing attempts for the season. Chubb was the workhorse in that backfield.

    I went back looked at the box scores and Michel's 7.9 has a lot to do with number having fewer carries and a couple of runs in the 70 yard range. Don't get wrong, I'm not going to complain if we draft Chubb or Michel for that matter. But I'm not going to hold it against Barkley because coaches were having him sit the second half of games. All three of backs that we've talked about are averaging nowhere near 20 carries game. Michal averaged the least with 10 carries per game. Barkley had the highest average but, he also played in two fewer games than Chubb and Michel who played in 15 games.

    No, I mean, basically, dump them both.

    I would be very happy with this. Then the Broncos get Lamar Jackson and run an option offense that terrorizes the NFL.

    I would actually LOVE that. We could give Jackson some time to work on his mechanics. I see Keenum as place holder

    Jackson wants to be a QB, what’s the difference between drafting him to play WR and drafting him to run option?

    Well, I wasn’t exactly loving that part of it, as I inferred.
