[Browns are going QB with 1st pick]

If the Browns go Barkley at 1, they’re going qb at 4.  Giants grab Barkley at 2 and that only leaves Colts at 3 to trade with.

 

If Browns go QB at 1,  then the Giants grab Barkley at 2. That leaves possibility of Colts at 3 to trade with and Browns at 4 to trade with.

 

Better for us if Browns go QB at 1.

I would think the Bills will have a 1a and 1b on their board when it comes to qb.  There is always a risk someone takes your guy, but the bigger risk is not getting into the top four to pick at all.

I agree having two solid RBs is important in today’s game. The Browns now have three. With backfields it’s usually a Thunder and Lightning arrangement.  Hyde is Thunder and Duke Johnson is Lightning.  Barkley is an electrical storm all by himself.  It just seems redundant to have a third back when they have so many other holes to fill on their 0-16 roster.

The Browns have a lot of cap space but they have a lot of holes to fill too. Barkley can do it all, run, pass protect, and catch passes.  The only time he’s coming off the field is for a quick breather now and then.  I just don’t think they need Duke Johnson and Carlos Hyde to split the handful of snaps a game he’s not on the field.

The Browns wouldn’t have signed Carlos Hyde if they were going to draft Barkley.  It makes no sense to have Barkley, Hyde, and Duke Johnson all on the roster.

 

This is great news for the Bills!

 

I think Beane wants to trade up, and he has the ammo, but they need to find a dance partner.  We need to get one of the first four picks because I think the Broncos and Jets are both going qb and and there is no guarantee our qb will be there after that. (I don’t think the Jets would deal with us anyways).

 

If the Browns take Barkley with the 1st pick, they will use the 4th pick to snag their qb, so picks 1 and 4 are gone.  Do the Giants pass on the best qb on their board with an aging Eli?  Dicey at best.  That leaves only one pick left to try and trade up for, the Colts at 3.

 

If the Browns take a qb with the 1st pick, I don’t think the Giants can pass on Barkley at 2.  That leaves the Colts at 3 again and the Browns at 4.  I think the Browns would be more likely to deal that pick with their qb already in the fold and Barkley gone.
