One more loss this season would have been nice to draft at #4 instead of #8 would be huge. We would get another stud.

Yeah, but we won the bragging rights (beating the Cleveland Browns). That has to mean something. Right?

It does mean something. It means we can't get a guy we could use.

It's definitely a tough one. First of all I don't think it's gonna happen because there's just NO WAY teams are gonna choose three overrated QBs and one or two WRs over Barkley. With that being said, if he falls to #8 I think it would be best to just draft him. He's supposed to be a generational talent (even better than EE). And I wouldn't trade Howard either. Can you imagine our offense w/ Howard AND Barkley? Rush D wouldn't catch a break. This year's Saints had a similar situation w/ Ingram and Kamara and they looked pretty great.

Then again, there's a 0.01% chance it happens anyway, so...

Again BPA doesn't always mean the best for the team...

We already have a 1,000+ rusher, why waste a pick for a chance of a better one?

EXACTLY. Howard is PROVEN at the NFL level, Barkley is not. Would the Packers have drafted Andrew Luck had he fallen? Uh, NO, because they aren’t dumb, they would have traded down. Don’t make me start going through the “can’t miss” 1st round prospects that flopped big time in the NFL.

Saints had a 1000 yard rusher...didn't stop them from taking Kamara. Also didn't stop Ingram from running for 1000 yards this year. Yes he wasn't a first round pick, but he was a third round pick. Both of them can be utilized in the offense. Barkley is dynamic in a way Howard is not even close to being.

And yes...BPA does always mean best for the team...unless you've got the best to ever play the position at that position currently. Either way...this isn't happening.

They drafted Aaron Rodgers when he fell when they had Favre...not sure thats the best example.

Bigger issue with the example is that teams only ever want to be using 1 qb in a game, teams regularly use 2 or 3 rbs.
