So, Jets make the first real move, to go up to 3 with Indy pick to get a Qb of the future.
My question is..... Is a trade up for QB the only option?
so, lets follow the bouncing football....
Cleveland realizing the ONLY way they can control the Qb they want is to take one at #1.
That leaves Giants at #2. Players available at that value is actually very, very, very good.
You have Qb - one of 5 rated first round, with one probably gone at 1
You have one of the top DE in Chubb
You have some really solid OL like Q.Nelson
You also have.....Barkley. Is he the next Zeke???
so IF the Giants were to look at trading down(I hear rumors they are at least listening....). Is the deal up ONLY for a Qb or is Barkley a potential target??
Who really needs a top flight Rb? I assume if you take him, you have to be close and looking for that final push to top over.
1) Giants - lets face it, they have sucked at running last two years, and yes some of that is due to OL
2) Cleveland - they lost there work horse back but signed in FA Hyde. and have Duke Johnson as well.
3) Denver - hmmm....now this one...this one has merrit. They have worked on OL in FA, they have gotten a bridge Qb in Keenum(big mistake IMO). rumor has them dumping C.J. Anderson soon. this actually could fit.
4) Indianapolis - another great fit. They have Mack and some others, but a top flight Rb to support a returning Luck would be HUGE!
But, do you trade up for Rb? Most in NFL would say no now, they have totally devalued the Rbs and look at multiple backs instead. Later round draft picks.
So, could Barkley fall?
I think so. If a team trades up to #2, it has to be for Qb IMO. Only way to get who you want. So you are looking at #'s 1,2 and 3 could go Qb. That leaves 1 or 2 viable Qbs still on board. Cleveland at #4 will have the choices to make.
So thoughts...
Do you take a Rb early, at #2? Or is that only Qb territory?
