Brock by a long way IMO.

Anyone know the timings for the combine? I can see the dates and which group is going on which day but not the timings.
 
No way, it's combine time already?

Can't wait to watch a load of prospects do dull practices and form opinions based on nothing, only for the Hawks to trade down 9x and draft some guy with behaviour issues that wasn't invited.

I'd like to think they've learned their lesson.

I'm cautiously optimistic considering the offseason coaching changes, suggests that we've learned some lessons at least. If we do go for another player with question marks the size of everest then we're bloody fools considering we are still waiting for Malik McDowell to be fit enough to practice.
 
Wilkerson released by the Jets, was to be expected.

Matt Forte has retired :(
 
This guy is a beast. There is talk of him being the 2nd pick now.

Browns could take him at #1 and then still manage one of Rosen, Darnold, Mayfield, or Allen at #4. Being the worst team in team in the league does have its fringe benefits.
 
Barkley just ran a 4.41 / 40 . Outperformed Fournette, Kamara, and Zeke Elliot.

That move at 13s on his video of college highlights where literally stopped on a dime is unbelievable.
 
What’s Barkley like power - wise? Or in general? I don’t know too much about him.

His 40y was amazing but how else does he compare with the other top RBs in recent years?
 
Watch the Browns not take him and instead waste a high pick on a QB that has doubts over them like every one of them seems to in this draft.

Most top Qbs have had doubts over them in the draft, apart from maybe Luck.
 
Barkley stats are crazy. 233 lbs running a 4.40, 41" vertical, and 20 plus on the bench press... he's 6ft tall and rushes over 2000 yards in 2 years, plus catches for 600 yards. Man is top 3 guaranteed

Yes...all the buzz on day one is about him right now.
 
What I'm really saying is, they should trade their No. 4 pick to us for Foles and maybe we can snag him :lol:

I would imagine they would take that trade, although I'm not sure if Foles himself would be interested.
 
Whoever takes Barkley top 5 will regret it
Yeah but... Eboue.

I don't see what there isn't to love about this kid. To a certain extent I get what you're saying. Anyone you take top five, you're expecting to pull on a gold jacket. It just seems to me that the time of the multi dimensional RB is here. It seems he can catch, he can bang, he can run a route, he can step. What more do you need?

2.8 yards per carry against Indiana
2.1 yards per carry against Ohio State
2.5 yards per carry against Rutgers

I need him to not do that. I've always said no running back is worth a top 10 pick, but he's not even as good as Fournette and Elliot were in college.

In this draft where excellent RBs are almost the norm, you are probably right. This year in the top 5, teams should go for OL, DL and the handful of top safeties and cornerbacks, Lamar Jackson should be the first QB taken and it probably shouldn't be in the top 10. At least that's how I see it.
 
It’s always incredibly difficult to justify a top 10 pick for a running back.

And there is such an abundance right of now top level running backs that it makes it even harder to justify.

I don't know why its considered odd to take a RB in the top 10 as its a pivotal position. I think Barkley will be a success in the NFL as he has the proper speed/size/agility combination to make a massive impact for whoever selects him (assuming of course that team has a decent OL). 4.4 speed at 230lbs is very good for any RB and in addition to running for 1,000 yards, he's also going to be a threat catching the ball out of the backfield.
 
Increasing buzz the Broncos may take Rosen at #5 . That's assuming the Browns don't take him at #1.

Just ask the Cowboys and Jags and I think they’ll tell you they are very happy they took their RBs top 5 in the past two years. It can completely transform an entire franchise.

Highly unlikely to be at #5, I'd think.

Apparently Broncos are in talks with Cleveland over trading up to #1, which will only be if Cousins goes elsewhere you'd imagine.
