Tonight, we have the NFL Draft and it should be a doozy. There is so much speculation, especially with my New York Football Giants. Many questions have been asked leading up to tonight's draft, for example, which quaterback will the Browns take first? Will the Giants take Sequon Barkley with the 2nd overall pick? Did the Jets really move to the 3rd pick to get Baker Mayfield? These are just some of the topics that have been brought up through the draft. Let's analyze just a little bit.
With the number 1 pick the Cleveland Browns select. . quaterback Sam Darnold. The Browns, with there notorious quaterback carousel would be stupid to NOT take Darnold here. He is the most pro ready quaterback of all the top QB's out there. Whenever they would decide to replace Tyrod Taylor, who will be serviceable for them, Sam Darnold would be a consistent prescience for the Browns. Easy choice for the Browns with this pick.
With the number 2 pick the New York Giants select. . Saquon Barkley. This is a pick that honestly I have been very up and down with this pick. The Giants can go many different ways here. They can take Josh Allen or Rosen to take over for Eli Manning. They traded Jason Pierre-Paul to the Buccanners, so they can take Bradley Chubb with this pick. They can even upgrade their offensive line with Quentin Nelson here. The reason I chose Barkley here is because I think he will be a difference maker and he will form some kind of dynmaic duo with Odel Bechkam, Jr. the same way we have Antonio Brown and Levion Bell in Pittsburgh.
With the number 3 pick the New York Jets select. . . Josh Allen(the smart pick). It's been rumored that they moved up to get "Broadway" Baker Mayfield. I don't think that this will happen for a few reasons. Firstly, he's a Heisman Trophy winner. Recent history shows us that Heisman Trophy winners have not have not had much luck in the NFL(Reggie Bush and Darren McFadden to name a few). Next, he is considered a "short" quaterback at 6 feet. He is not known to have any mobile skills which would work against him
The draft has so much craziness I can not describe. If I am wrong with these top 3 choices, then this
means that there is so much craziness. I hope all these teams do the right thing for their rosters. Let's go teams, Let's go Drafts!
