Barkley looks phenomenal. The Browns are going to be tempted to take him at #1.

I would if I were the Browns.  Let selections 2 and 3 be QBs- and you have your choice of 3 good QB's at this sweet spot(Browns own 4th pick too).  I would either draft Nelson here- Barkley and Nelson are two best in draft or I would trade down, demanding many picks this and next season.  The Browns have some talent and they are going to get really good soon

If I were the Browns, I would offer NYG the 35th overall pick and a 3rd round pick to move from 4th overall to 2nd.  That way I ensure that I get both Barkley and my QB1.

If I were the Browns, I'd sign Cousins, draft Barkely at #1 and Minkah at #4.

I agree that this would be very good for them, but I often thinks when it comes to the QB position, teams don't always think "One of these 3 would be great", they hopefully, find ONE that they feel is a great fir for their franchise and focus on that one. So the question will be who is that one and will he still be there.

So would I! What an amazing haul that would be for them. They can afford Cousins, so unless they are really in love with one of the QB prospects, this makes a ton of sense.

Nick Chubb is looking more and more like the 3rd Rb in this draft...

 

I don't think I'll change my rankings, but I absolutely agree that he's more of a day 2 guy than a day 3 guy.  His workout numbers are really, really good.

The knee issue is a little bothersome. He did just outrun Michel though... Definitely impressive. 

Also, Kolton Miller is making a case for a top 20 pick.

AND they'd still have plenty of cap room, and picks 33, 35, 63, & 65 to fill other holes.

 

Cleveland can turn this thing around QUICK if they play their cards right.

yes QB is most important position- but think teams way over pay for their lottery ticket at QB.  I am more thrifty then that.  My mantra is I would rather the Bills would be the 2000 Ravens with Trent Dilfer or the 1985 Bears with Jim McMahon then the 2014 Colts with Andrew Luck

Nick Chubb started over Todd Gurley.  Then he suffered a devastating knee injury.  He worked back from that is one of top backs in this class.  Nick would make an excellent Bill

I preferred Michel to Chubb, but now I'd be happy with either. Must be cool for the two of them to go through this process together.

They should take Nelson and give themselves an All Pro RG for Barkley to run behind. 

 

Cousins, Barkley and Josh Gordon would form a pretty formidable offensive attack. 

 

Then use the rest of the picks upgrading the defense.

Umm, no, he did not start over Gurley.  2014 was their only year on campus together.  Gurley was the clear back the first 5 games the year (Marshall / Chubb / Michel split time as backups) before being declared ineligible by the NCAA in game 6.  Gurley was suspended 4 games, then got hurt against Auburn when he came back.

Best of luck building an all time defense.

If we want to trade up with the Giants, it may be in our best interest for Barkley to go #1.  Given their clear need at the position and wanting to make life easier on Eli, I just can't see them passing him up.  If he's gone #1, they are basically picking between a guard (a position they could use, but still, a guard #2) / a DE (a position they don't really need with JPP / Vernon) / a QB who'll sit for a couple of years / DB (another non-need position unless they are punting on Apple already) or a trade down.

best of luck finding aaron rogers or tom brady,  I like my odds better

 

Really? You like the odds of finding 11 guys, paying them all and keeping them together long term until you luck out in the playoffs better than finding ONE guy?

It may depend on if that ONE guy you’re trying to find is wearing a red and white striped shirt. That can make it a lot easier.

Yes. When Gurley was hurt.

 

Otherwise no. No he didn’t.

I like my odds on drafting great players with 11 picks then 1

questionable? Have you ever taken a Stats class?  A sample size of 11 provides a better chance, then a sample size of 1.  My point is keep the picks, and add more if you can.  It will be better for the BIlls in the long run with probability

Yes, but if your theory is you're gonna win with trent dilfer, you need to hit on 11/11 defensive picks. Again, good luck.
