It’s a mess now. The Giants just paid an average quarterback 40 million a year and won’t give their franchise running back and best offensive player an extension. There is no way that Saquan can play for 10 million without an extension.
Well they appear to be smarter at things than us in decision making they have a solid team
I don’t see it but with two first rounders? I can see it. I’m 50/50 on them doing it.
It's so weird, people act as if all rbs are done in 2 years.
They just goof in the first round which works for me lol.
Yeah honestly I still value the position and if I can get the best one in the draft why not? I see it as I get 5 years with a guy and maybe six on the franchise.
By all accounts, Barkley turned down a 12.5 million a year contract. Even if that number is wrong, we know he turned down what was offered. For RBs today, that's not wise. I just kind of find that number hard to believe. But they did offer him a contract.
They made a dumb move drafting Wentz but they were lucky in getting rid of him and getting some capital for him
why pay pollard 10mil and then draft high rb and call Pollard "not that guy". sounds like they should have not retained him.. odd, this board many fans wanted to call pollard RB1 ie "he derves it" hes better then zeke..zekes now gone , "pollards not that guy "
It's like the other poster said, would you rather have Ramsey and Henry? Or just Zeke? Because Dallas wasn't getting a player like Ramsey in the 2nd.
Doesn't matter when your #1RB is on his 1st contract.
Is this OL as good as that one was? I do not think so.
everyone keeps assuming we could have had them both but once you change the top half of the draft and not take zeke it changes a lot of picks after and henry was no guarantee, thats hyperbole. a lot of ASSumptions being made that we could have had both just because henry got taken in the 2nd. no facts or truth to that,. and comparing our 4th overall to 26 is very different. many player like zeke, Fournette, and Barkley taken high as RB but the league has shifted that philosophy.
I think pollards here because they didn’t want to lose both he and zeke and he’s a better back at this point
They did. Found a dummy in the Colts to take him on….gotta give them credit for that.
Absolutely. Murray, and the 3 pronged attack the Giants used over a decade ago prove that point. Barkley is the perfect example of what happens to a great back with a poor offensive line. He's just now coming around as the line gets better. Barry Sanders being the exception.
Cowboys and Eagles are in different situations though. Eagles are coming off a SB appearance where they phased Miles Sanders out of their offense. Cowboys won 4 games and their approach should’ve been they sucked.
Lots of strong points hereDrafting a RB at #26 is a far cry from doing it at #4. Most teams only have about 20 first round grades on their board. If one of them is there at 26, take him.
Also, by taking a late first round RB you have the 5th year option. It's great to have, unless you're dumb enough to cave to a holdout after year three.
But no matter where Dallas goes RB the OL needs help. The running game fizzled when Steele went out last season - look it up. Improve OL depth, please.
