For sure lol. Cleveland is in a tough spot here if they don't sign a good qb in FA. I don't see how they don't draft a qb 1 if a legit vet isn't signed.
This right here.
Going 1-15 next year if the don't get this fixed
Cousins, Gordon, and Barkley would be ridiculous.
And they would still hold the 4th overall pick, 3 second rounders and the first pick in round 3. They possess the ability to make a strong pitch to Cousins.
Yeah, if they know what they are doing at all, they have no excuse not to win at least 6 games next year with all the talent they should be able to get.

Yeah careers go to die in Cleveland it's the death trap ! I hope for Barkley that he ends up with the NY football giants he would have a chance there more than Cleveland .

Generational athlete, yes. Generational RB, maybe not.

Whoa Barkley is 6'? His legs are so stocky he looks short.
His thighs are incredibly thick...super powerful player, to go with elite speed. Why he's projected as a top 5 player.
You should look up the youtube video's of him lifting last offseason...
he's 6 ft now?.. he's been recorded at 5 10 this whole time at Penn
i'm not a fan of his, but if he really is 6' and with his recent combine workout.. I wouldn't mind having this guy
If your not a fan of his why would he being 2 inches taller than expected make any difference?
2 inches is a big difference IMO and he would be able to keep that playing weight easier. he would also be able to handle more carries
Because His whole life he was told he was about 2" too short. 
But right now we are talking about 2" in 'height'.... lets stay on topic...

Well its because now he can wear heels when theyre out together and it wont look as awkward.

Vernon did it at 6'3 1/2" 250 lbs. Plus he ran a 4.38. He really was astonishing.

damn man i wish we could get Barkley!!! fk! he would be so sick. I think it's near impossible that he would fall to us. would have to take up to 5 QB's to at least go infront of us. fk.

No freaking way Barkley drops to the 9ers or the 9ers trade up for him. Anything is possible in the draft (almost anything) I just don't see him dropping, even if Barkley took a few bong rips in front of scouts he wouldn't be dropping to 9. lol

RBs are not what they once were in the NFL...but this guy now has the paper stats to go with his on field production. It would seem he is not just a good pick but a "safe" pick.
I really like the guy, he looks like a slower version of Gayle Sayers ( compared to the speed of the people around him, i get he might be faster, but Gayle was faster than those around him versus Barkely)
The only downside, is people that run like him are normally nocked for being upright vertical runners. Most RBs with out elite speed cant make a living turning against the grain the play to brushing off arm tackles in the NFL.
