Who's gonna end up with this dude and is he all that and a bag of chips.  Saw someone yesterday comparing him with AD and even said he has better hands to boot.  Hope the browns grab him to keep him away from  some one like the bears or packers.

He's the best RB prospect to come out in a long time...  he's more highly regarded than Ezekiel Elliott and Todd Gurley were when they came out.  Both of those guys have had very good careers in their short time in the league.  Yes, Barkley is all that and a bag of chips.

Its safe to say if the browns draft him he'll be a big old fat bust just like all their draft picks become.

So maybe that would be for the best---then in 2-3 years he would be available for a trade to pair with Cook as a one-two punch

I have seen him linked to the Colts and the Browns. There has been some mention the Browns deal their #4 to a team wanting a QB. Barkley definitely has some talent.

if we were sitting #1... even if we needed a QB.... I would be banging the shit out of the table for this kid.  its an insult to Barkley to compare him to AD IMO,  way way more well rounded,  although IMO he will be needing a good group around him to keep him grounded.  I've seen some videos of him and hes got a scary superstar opinion of himself already and he hasnt really been shown the money yet.  but yeah... he is that good,  total freak..... redefines the term freak,  if it goes well he could be to RB what Moss did to WR,  he just seems to be that much better.

Barkley is phenomenal. He has power and speed. He can shed blockers and has great hands. He is the complete package.

I think he drops to Tampa at seven or SF at nine (sorry Jet).  Good RBs are just too easy to grab later on.

This kid is in a league of his own though.  In a draft with some pretty good RB talent this kid makes it seem like he is the only option.  It is a treat to watch his tape.

Ehhh...  Sure, he looks good against college defenses.  A lot of the top RB candidates look great as well.  If I were NYG or Cleveland or Denver, I would be a whole lot more interested in either a) picking a QB, b) picking Chubb, or c) collecting a ransom in draft picks.

Generational talent...complete package...if the Browns were smart they'd take him and Chubb...Chubb and Garrett would be a nightmare...Taylor under center with Barkley and Gordon as main weapons...they might actually win 5 games...

I'm in the minority but I still have an issue calling him a "generational talent" at RB. He is a very very good player and is on the same tier of Elliott / Gurley. But I still have ongoing questions about his vision as a runner. In the open field he is lethal but he can struggle when he isn't given consistent holes behind the LOS. It's something that he'll improve on but it could be worth tempering expectations a little bit.
