I agree. This QB class got way overhyped. Barkley would be amazing. Imagining him in this scheme with an upgraded OL gives me the warm and fuzzies.

I don't expect that Shanahan would take a RB that early but if ever there was a RB to take early, Barkley is it. That sort of ability in this offense? He would absolutely destroy people.

If there ever was a draft to buck the trend, this is it. Give me Saquon Barkley over anyone and everyone in the draft.

Executive 1: David Johnson
"My first thought -- Superman. Since I can't use him, I'll say David Johnson. Both of these guys are such complete, 3-down backs. Barkley's lower-body strength and explosiveness are pretty tough to match, though."

Executive 2: Kareem Hunt
"He's a better version of Kareem Hunt. Better body frame, better feet and hips, quicker, more explosive, more elusive, better hands and he's faster."

Executive 3: Corey Dillon
"I haven't fully studied him but I see some similarities to Corey Dillon. Big, fast and physical."

Executive 4: Joe Mixon
"He's a more explosive Joe Mixon. When he gets the ball in his hand, he can accelerate and separate quickly. Mixon would build speed and stall out. They both are dangerous as runners and receivers, both 3-down backs."

Executive 5: Ezekiel Elliott
"I was at the game a few years ago when Elliott and Barkley shared the same field. As impressive as Elliott was, Barkley was the better player. They have similar skill sets but Barkley is better in every area."

McShay and a few others have said the same. I like Barkley so much more than I ever did Fournette. He can run, catch, block, he accelerates and explodes through holes, runs decisively, I think he could be the ultimate Shana-RB.

That's who he reminds me of, albeit an upgraded version. The wide/low running style, the balance, the insane lateral agility, etc.

If you gave David Johnson the ooze from TMNT, the result would be Saquon Barkley.

Sure the trend is to not draft rb high but since the trend shifted when was the last time drafting a rb high busted

Not to mention that Barkley, in my opinion, blows all of those guys out of the water as a prospect.
