I say this, but I am still an Eagles fan. I'd rather see Barkley with a team who can improve, than with Cleveland where it is hard to see any improvement with a head coach that signed a 2 year extension after going 1-31 the last 2 years!
I'd prefer to have Saquon drafted at #2 to go with the Giants!

- Start date
Browns IMO are closer then the Giants.
I honestly believe this. The Browns had like 6-7 games that were winnable this year including 2 vs Pittsburgh.
Giants will still have a bad D, over the Hill turnover machine QB, and prima dona WR.
I'm sorry, but as an Eagles fan, Barkley going to the Giants would be the worst thing possible. It really would make it hard to ever want to see him win a game. Colts/niners/browns please!!
A lot of people expected SF to go for Saquon at #2 when they traded for Jimmy G. The winning streak occurred, bumped them up to 8, and no way SB falls that far.
QB paranoia could drive this draft. It did last year up until Watson went off the board.
Please don’t count the second Steelers game. Steelers treated that game like a pre season game for goodness sake.
Ideal spots
1. Steelers trades up for him (dream)
2. Detroit trades up for him (probably still impossible)
3. Indianapolis
4. The Giants
5. Cleveland #1
More and more people seem to think the Brown are going to take Barkley & Fitzpatrick. I still don't think they're smart enough for that but that's what they should do.

Giants were 11-5 last year. Problem is they have the worst o line in the league. If they spent $ and picks on o line after taking Saquon, they would be good next year. Eli, Barkley, Beckham, that other young wideout from OU...
Defense sucked this year only after o and terrible coaching broke their spirit and they gave up.
That being said...when your qb is 37 and you have the #2 pick, you take a qb if you like one....
I'm very high on the Browns moving forward. It would be a great spot for Barkley to land (and if I had to guess, would think it's his most likely outcome, with the 4th pick).
He will end up with New Orleans after they trade all their draft picks for him.
If so, might be via trade as Indy seems to have a good one in Mack and bigger holes elsewhere.
I saw a mock draft that had Saquon falling to the redskins. The issue is that the RB is seen as a commodity now and there isn’t as much value placed upon them as opposed to QB, Left tackles, and high end CBs
Maybe but I think that changed when ez Elliot made such a big impact in Dallas. I'll be surprised if he drops passed fifth.
Fournette and Zeke changed that--Barkley isn't falling past 4 barring an injury or something crazy
If you were an NFL GM, would you draft Rosen before Barkley? Rosen seems so “fragile” (and Darnold seems lazy to me).
How did you reach the conclusion that Darnold is "lazy"? smh
Barkley the safer pick, obviously, but GMs have always and will always reach for QBs. That's how the NFL works. When you get it right you're set for about 15 years. When you get it wrong you're screwed. Risk/reward.
The Darnold seems lazy comment is just asinine
Have you not noticed how “chunky” Darnold is? He is athletically-gifted, but he’s physically lazy.

And Leonard Fournette with the Jags last year. I don't think there's any chance the consensus "best player in the draft" falls to 8. If he's still there at 5, somebody is trading up for him. I think he goes "2".
I’ll take that! I’m going with Barkley to the Redskins......at least until the draft when he ends up somewhere else.
Giants won 11 games last year, but Eli is now older, their lines suck, and OB is more concerned with his own stats..
sorry, Giants will be bad for a few years.
I think Barkley is going to fall, how far? I dont know. But NFL drafts, teams draft on needs. IMO The top 4 teams need a few things each, RB may not be a top priority.

First two picks -- maybe the third and fourth, too -- will be QBs. Gonna be some wheelin' and dealin' to move up to the top to grab a QB while they last.
So, Stafford is lazy? Some guys just have that build. That's not a sign he's lazy. By all accounts his work ethic is great.
Sure, there are exceptions, and I think Barkley may be one.... but there are not enough QBs to fill all of the starting positions and more than enough RBs. I would expect Barkley to go early, but not in the top three.
If Barkley doesn't go in the top 3 Detroit needs to offer their first this year and next year plus their second this year plus Abdullah to Cleveland
I doubt there is any running back in this draft that can do what Saquon can do as a runner, as a pass receiver, and as a blocker, all in one player. He's an every down back that can be used in a large variety of ways. I heard him described the other day as Marshall Faulk, but bigger and stronger. A commodity is when you can easily replace one thing with another. That's not the case with Saquon. He's very much differentiated from a normal running back, which by definition makes him NOT a commodity. Not picking on you at all. Just explaining.
