I would disagree as would the Giants and Colts. If Barkley turns out to be a Hall of Fame RB or anything close, then the Giants offense will be totally different next season.
They had a great draft. They picked up a generational RB at #2 and still got their developmental QB in Kyle Lauletta in the 4th. They can develop him for 2 seasons behind Eli.
And the Colts desperately needed to massively upgrade their OL to give Luck a chance to survive another season. So that was a great pick at a position of need and they obtained extra draft picks and still got a great player.
But Chubb is probably the best value among them since he plays the most important position. He could well be close to another Von Miller. He has everything you value in a defensive pass rusher. Speed, athleticism, determination, constant effort and great character and willingness to learn. He's a leader on and off the field.
There's a reason why every NFL scout and GM had this guy as the best defensive player in the draft and a better pro prospect than Myles Garrett, last year's #1 overall pick. And the Broncos inexplicably got him at #5. Normally, that just doesn't happen, but this year it did thanks to the Browns!
