Would you sell the farm for Barkley...

[GoobyPls]

Hell no

 

You can find good RB in any round

So, here's the thing. I've watched every single snap of Barkleys college career. My dad graduated from PSU and we had season tickets growing up, so I'm a big fan.

Saquon Barkley is the BEST player I've ever seen play at PSU. My dad agrees. He has been watching PSU games since the late 60's, and me since the late 80's. 

Barkley is just so special. His combination of speed, power, agility, quickness, burst, intelligence, catching agility, route running, competitive nature, I could go on and on. 

And he's a fantastic person off the field, a great teammate, and a student of the game. 

Barkley can be a true game changer at the next level. He just gets yards and finds the endzone. 4.3 speed with the power to run through NFL defenders. You can send him up the middle and he'll find a hole or move the pile forward. You can run him off the edge and his speed will get him around the corner. You can send him out in passing routes and not only will he get separation, but he will run a crisp route and make incredible catches plus run after the catch. You can throw him a screen and he'll take it to the house with his vision in the open field and incredible speed.

All of that said, I don't think he's worth trading the farm to go get. This team has too many holes, and trading up to get Barkley would create even more holes. If we want any chance at competing next season (Kalil and TDs last, and maybe Pepp too), then we need to go hard for All In Compete Now moves. Not trade future assets for a rookie. 

If you took the assets you are willing to give up for Saquon and used them to fill in the current roster holes with veteran players, this team is competitive at a Super Bowl level for the next 3-5 years. 

Barkley doesn't immediately elevate us to Super Bowl level because the OL, WR, and defense all have so many other holes to fill.

That's just not a good strategy because you lose way too much value. I am not a proponent of giving the farm away for any position (not even QB). I'd rather lure a high-priced FA than deal three or four high draft picks to move 20+ spots in the first round. Most of your value relates to the draft and finding gems that you can exploit for four or five years.

Guice and Penny are two guys that I think could be just as good. I’m hoping we grab one of those two backs. Ideal for me is to trade back to the top of the second and pick one of those two running backs.

[ericr0319]

for sure no. I think he is a rare talent, but no for the sake of longevity. but would anyone here trade Cam for both Cleveland's 1s and their 2nd. Contingent that we sign Cousins? 

[trueblade]

If this was a Julio Jones type, I'd be more open to it, but not for a RB.

[RumHam]

2/10. ban.

[CarolinaNCSU]

Not a chance.  You don't even sell half of the farm for proven Pro Bowlers. 

[stirs]

Cleveland has a boat load of picks already this draft and the only thing that could entice them is the one thing they don't have, a QB.  They can pay Cousins a ton of money and have their QB and pick Barkley, then pick whomever at 4 to help their team.  They are in good shape.

Unless we were to trade Cam, who makes less than Cousins will demand, and puts us in a bad situation, then I don't think there is a chance they would even talk to us

[uncfan888]

We one piece away from a Lombardi? No? Then hell no
