Message: [QUOTE="Huskyforlife, post: 2702808, member: 3403"] He's terrific, I'll probably end up buying his jersey, but that's not the point. Even if he's better than the other top RB prospects recently, people are going overboard on the hype train. It's easy to forget how elite Barkley would need to be to justify his yearly salary/pick. Even if he's great, if he's anything below Bell or David Johnson's tier, then we're over paying someone you probably don't need to win a Superbowl. Last years top RBs were taken in rounds 3 and four. Active upper level RBs that were taken in rounds after the first include; McCoy, Freeman/Coleman, Bell, Johnson, Cook, Howard, Kamara, and Hunt. Point being, you can have a great running game with any of those guys, you don't even need the best of the best. Next years QB crop is projected to be pretty terrible, even though that could change. This years was amazing, you had 4 guys worthy of being top 10. Rosen would be the first taken if he came out next year. Eli probably has two years left, so it'd be nice if we had his replacement lined up. HCPS also said this pick wasn't an endorsement for Webb, so it's not likely he's the answer. Either way he's a Giant, and I'll be patiently waiting to watch him in the pre season. He'll make us better next year, and take some weight off of Eli. So there are some positives. [/QUOTE]
