2018 NFL Draft Thread • Page 9

Who invited Etling!?

 

Also, seriously, Browns have to go Barkley first, right?

 

I’ve warmed up to Kirk as the pick but I’d still rather sign a WR in free agency and draft one of the OG or DB in round one.

 

Go DB. I need Willy Hernandez for something called "Fournette not dying"

 

Shaquem Griffin with 20 reps.

 

How does this wr class compare to 2013? Better? The same? Worse?

 

FAR better

 

Just because of Dj chark?

Explain

 

There are much better prospects in this draft than 2013. 2013 had a lot of guys that weren't even that impressive in college and then Tavon Austin, who was impressive in college but absurdly overrated and not at all NFL ready. I don't know if any of these guys are WR1 but I feel a lot more confident in these guys being contributors four years from now than I was in 2013 with that class.

 

Barkley should be #1. He’s been insane in the combine on top of a great college resume

 

As happy as I am with Fournette, Barkley is like CLEARLY better haha

saying this based on tape not the Combine.

The athleticism is crazy but he's just really fucking smart also. His moves and angles are so well planned.

 

Fournette is AP, Barkley is LT.

If they were in the same class, it'd come down to preference.

 

actually yeah LT is a good comparison. Flattering too. Tomlinson was a STUD.

 

I don't think Fournette is quite on AP's level. Definitely has his strength and some of his moves, and honestly so explosive like it's surprising 4net can go from 0 to 100 instantly at his size. I also think he has better downhill speed, though not as agile.

But he doesn't have that constant ANGER in his runs. He's a natural power RB and sheds tackles with ease, but I think sometimes he lets it come easy - if he ran with the same intensity and hunger as AP he'd be unstoppable. He certainly finishes runs when he knows he's getting tackled, but if he can stay upright he tries to slip tackles as cleanly as possible.

Maybe that's not a bad thing at all, but I'd like to see less "let me try to get out of this" and more "FUCK YOU GET OFF ME". He has it in him sometimes and I wonder if we would see more of that arrogant, beast mode running with better blockers giving him confidence.

 

Barkley's just a sleuth though. It's like he has eyes all around his head.

 

I meant as prospects you dingus.

 

Oh yeah I know that was just how far I overanalyzed the question

Do you not realize who you're talking to?

 

amazing

 

hmm...

 

Calvin Ridley
DJ Moore
Courtland Sutton
Deon Cain
DJ Chark
Jordan Lasley
Michael Gallup
Anthony Miller
Daesean Hamilton

It's a deceptively deep class.

 

The same guy that said there was no chance Marcus Peters would be traded...

 

He's also had some that he's been bang on about

I'm just starved for football news

 

Lasley is one i haven't seen mentioned a whole lot

 

I swear to god if Miami fucks this up and trades up with New York or Indy.

Barkley 1st, Mayfield 4th. Let the poor sad Browns have this.

 

Payne just ran a 4.91, damn
