Today it's being reported that the Browns have crossed Darnold and Rosen off their list for #1 and are deciding between Allen and Mayfield. Browns gonna Brown, I guess.

As a Giants fan, I'm torn. It looks like Gettleman's top QB, Darnold, will be there. And obviously we need a QB of the future (unless they think Webb might be the guy). But there are so many other pressing needs.

My first choice would be to trade back inside the top 10 and rip somebody off, like the Colts did to the Jets. But if the Giants keep the pick, I think I've decided I want them to take Barkley. The Giants haven't had a 3-down RB since Tiki retired. I'm sick of watching our backs average 3.4 ypc. I think #2 is too early for Chubb or that OG everybody likes. Sure, top-1o RBs bust. But so do QBs.
 
I think I'd be okay with Barkley or Rosen for the Giants. Don't really mind trading down either if we get a king's ransom

Rosen won't last heath-wise in the NFL, already concussion prone and too frail, stay away that dude at 2. For the Giants, it's Darnold or Barkley...

Talking about trying to trade with the Giants at 2 for 3 months here in Buffalo.

I think I’m cool with Rosen Darnold or Mayfield, maybe in that order, but I know I want the Bills to get up there.

Maybe the Giants could use 2 1sts, 2 2nds and 2 3rds.
 
As a Jets fan, I've been set on Mayfield or Rosen at #3 for a while. If the Browns grow some stones and take Mayfield first and the Giants like Rosen and we're stuck with Darnold I will be livid. I think Darnold is incredibly overrated and lord knows the Jets don't need another USC QB bust. I'd rather roll the dice on Josh Allen than take Darnold.
 
Preference for giants in order.

1. Allen
2. Rosen
3. Darnold
4. Barkley
5. Nelson

Everyone knows it’s gonna be Barkley though. Gettelman took CMC last year in the first round as the panthers GM with the 8th pick. He’s not opposed to taking a rb with a high pick, and Barkley is better than CMC.

We’ll regret not taking a QB going forward. Being the bills/cards/ravens and needing to give up a fortune to get their QB of the future blows for those franchises.

Barber was not a three down back. He may have gotten the touches, but he wasn't built for that role. For the life of me, I cannot understand how the G Men have not been able to have a running game. They're like Detroit. There's absolutely no excuse to not have two guys that can pound the ball between the tackles.

I'm not a Giants fan, they're not my team, but I do like them. If they ended up with Barkley, I think it would be great. Eli can go two more years IMO. They do need to improve that line. This is 2018. McAdoo was terrible.
 
Giants need Barkley. He can do everything.The type of player that will keep his team on the field. If there wasn't a Barkley this year...fine grab line. As far as QB? I couldn't give a rats patooey. Giants do good this year, expect Manning to be back. I felt they drafted decent QB's in the past. But they weren't going to play. Barkley then the line. Seems the Gints want to get the denfense back in shape. Bring back the days of old making a QB run for his life.

I agree on Manning for a couple of more years. That's why give the QB brainstorm a break.

The Browns are not #!$%@ing this up. They didn't get J Landry for nothing. I think they go RB then best avail QB.

You know what I mean - since Barber the Giants haven't had a workhorse who can also catch passes.
 
I cant wait for future MVP Lamar Jackson to step across that and put on that Patriots hat. Ahhhhh, cant wait.

I do know what you mean. To me, the last real work horse RB the Giants had was Rodney Hampton and that was in the 90's

The Browns are not going to draft Barkley with the number one pick.

They would have traded down by now.

The QB's in this draft are rated higher.

The second pick is key to how the rest of the first round of the draft ends up.

If Gmen don't go for Barkley I will scream
Don't need a QB right now - trade for a vet later or draft one in next 2 years
Cannot pass-up on someone like Barkley and don't need Chubb at #2

Chubb's previous knee injury would cause me to think twice.

Knowing the Giants, they probably go defense or guard, but I agree, Barkley is too good to pass up
 
I wouldn't mind Barkley but want no part of him at 2. If they're gonna trade down maybe. Has to be Darnold at 2 if he's there
 
Barkley is a generational talent. He’ll need to stay healthy but if he does he will be a nightmare for opposing Ds. Pair him with ODB, EE, SS and then go out and sign Dez Bryant. Eli will kill with that talent surrounding him.
 
Draft day!

Would LOVE Giants to trade down and draft Nelson, but we'll see. If Giants stay at 2, I'd prefer a QB over Barkley.

Allen is Ryan Leaf. So of course the Browns will take him. Morons. If it is Mayfield, I can see that. He has the moxie and leadership skills to will the Browns into winning. They need more than talent.

The Giants have a tough call if Darnold slips to #2. They really should try to trade and drop back, so they can fill more holes. Barkley is a sure thing, but who is taking him that early other than the Giants? The Jets will take a QB. Trade back and you might still get Barkley and another pick. Otherwise, take Darnold.

If they can trade back to 5 with the Broncos and be sure to get Barkley, I say do it. But, Barkley is the crown jewel of the class, so if they aren’t confident in that scenario they should take him where they stand.
