Guess what A complete wash..neither lead their team to a Lombardi Even more were pissed when teams jumped us for Conklin and Floyd neither of them made it to thier second contract with thier original team either. Goes to show that the draft is a complete crapshoot. |

Having to pay Gurley $10.5 million had nothing to do with his being cut.

Remember how many were pissed we took Flowers over him? Guess what A complete wash..neither lead their team to a Lombardi I remember.I was getting killed for saying JR did the right thing staying away, some wanted him drafted in the top 10 his knee was bad and he was still rehabbing. |

The best player in that mess,Tunsil was traded because while he was actually developing he has a degenerative foot/ankle issue that the Texans are going to have to deal with.. |

There is a LOT more evidence to not take a running back early in a draft than this example....but we should all know that as football fans vs Barkley fans.  |

Does know one remember he was the Saquon of his class but destroyed his knee fell down the board a little, should have been more think he tore everything. You're exactly right regarding Gurley's knee. He was injured coming into the draft, so this knee issue shouldn't be a shock. They shouldn't have signed him 2 years early, either. Now, with respect to Saquon....and granted I'm a homer....there hasn't been a back since AP who's close to Barkley's talent coming out of college. Gurley included. Every year, there will be a player who's the best at their position, but that doesn't put them in Barkley's class. As much as the term "generational talent" gets thrown around these days, Barkley is just that. In fact, I think he might've been the one to spurn the overuse of generational talent...could be wrong there. Not to knock Gurley, because he was/is damn good, but Barkley is special. Just my very homerish, kool-aid drinking, rose colored glasses wearing opinion. |

When was the last time a first round RB led our team in rushing. I know for a fact that we won 4 superbowls with mid to late round RB picks while DG was still in the building.... |

Gurley came to the league damaged and not able to play or practice. His knee was pretty tore up he is no where close to the example to be used. It's like taking AP and saying see this why you should take the best player in the draft high RB or not especially a multi talented type weapon. |

Saquon is more then just a back we have had some good backs none like him the closet was Tiki and he was close physically speed and power wise, Really a picture of Wilson ha had a genetic spinal issue narrowing I believe Narrowing of the spinal canal or one of the curviture issues. That was on the Giants picking a project first and a guy with a genetic back issue in the first round. He was a teams guys by the end. |

Yeah because paying RBs lots of money is stupid, that's why no one will sign him and his career is over. I don't even want us to re-sign Barkley past his 5th year option unless he looks like Barry Sanders. If he is not putting up HOF numbers in his contract year, I would let him walk and get that high 3rd round comp pick for a younger faster back.... The juice gotta be worth the squeeze! |

How many wins did that get you weisnheimer? take all those wins from the last 2 seasons and we are still sub .500. Do you know what kind of numbers Saquon would need to put up to justify signing him to a 2nd contract? McCaffrey was the best RB DG has ever drafted |

Do you know what kind of numbers Saquon would need to put up to justify signing him to a 2nd contract? McCaffrey was the best RB DG has ever drafted Same number of wins as any individual player provides, virtually none. That said, I've never argued with the logic of not drafting a RB #2 overall. It's a perfectly logical approach despite the fact that the team would very, very likely be in essentially the same place as it is today. |

I'd have no problem signing Gurley (or any other player of quality) to an incentive based contract.
No guaranteed money.
