All true. However the real problem IMO is that you can plug and play almost any RB and not have a drastic change. Why pay Barkley 16M/year when you can get 80% of the production for $4M/year? Thats the issue. Daniel Jones is not good, yet got $40M/year because the fear was that you can't replace him. It's not bias against the player or position - its supply and demand. I do think the Franchise tag concept makes this harder. Players dont get to know what their real market is - and are forced to sign and play for a "less than they think they are worth" - and in some cases - thats egregious. But I dont know Barkley is getting 16M/year anywhere else either. But he is at the whim of the Giants offering him "fair market value" without knowing what that is. Maybe re-work the franchise tag to allow the team to match other deals would help. I dont know. And in disclaimer - im a HUGE Barkley fan. Love the guy. Behind Allen, probably my 2nd favorite player in the NFL. But it's a crappy position to play in todays NFL.

Looks like this drama is finally over

Gameday is going downhill. Corso has at most 2 years left (and arguably should have zero left). Pollock is now gone. Bear is gone. Never a big fan of Desmond Howard.... Herbstreit is great. But he is now doing NFL stuff too. I am not a big McAfee fan. Will be interesting to see where this goes.

I get it. This was Howard Sterns schtick for a while too. Honestly, personally, I change the channel if I see him, and it stops me from watching ESPN when he is on. I honestly can't stand him. I do the same with Hoda Cotb in a non-sports arena. So it's not working on me....except I do greatly dislike him. lol.

If Steven A keeps his job...

i cant imagine fighting your brother for playing time. Its not like they are different positions. Just seems like a bad idea in general.

Would have to be a Lovie Smith in Houston type of hire. And really - who wants to see that?

will be interesting to see if OJ doesn't make the transition to the new stadium...

Hickman, Sean Tucker, Alex Forsyth, Mohammed Ibrahim, PJ Mustifer would be my options.

Kinda like this pick. Shorter was one of my sleepers I was tracking. Maybe a bit early - but so be it. Former 5 star recruit. Struggled at penn state. Started coming into his own in Florida. Growth trajectory is there. Size is there. Not a sure fire pick - but unlimited upside. Worth a risk on player like him in the 5-7th round. Love it.

im going to guess a DB...

Below are our 4th round picks in the last 15 years. Which ones would you not trade to get the player you absolutely wanted in the draft? Gabriel Davis for sure. Only Bradham and Johnson were even decent players on this list. Its fine. Don't lose sleep over it. You can quibble over the player if you want. Maybe they should have done it earlier to get a WR. But don't quibble over the strategy and the loss of a 4th. Gabriel Davis Taron Johnson Cardale Jones Ross Cockerel Duke Williams Nigel Bradham Ron Brooks Da'Norris Searcy Chris Harriston Marcus Easley Shawn Nelson Reggie Corner Derrick Nelson Dwayne Wright Derek Fine

I'm going to guess OL. But if Joey Porter Jr or Drew Sanders is still on the board (doubtful)- I'd go that way.

Hilarious they couldn't find the Bills hat!

That didnt age well...

I am all for trading up - I just don't know which WR I want to trade up for....so maybe holding a few more picks makes sense.

Man, I feel like there are some AWESOME players who will be available. Happy with JSN, Q. Johnson, Flowers, Porter Jr., Mayer or Kinkaid. Really solid options left.

That kid was awesome!

Porter Jr would be cool here.

This reporter on NFLN asks the same question to every player "What kind of player is ______ getting"

I hate how obvious it is that the announcers know the pick.

Is Bill O'Brien back in Houston?

It does seem like this comes to a head tonight - one way or the other - which is good.

I've done a few of these. My dream: 1. Darnell Wright, OT 2. Jack Campbell, LB 3. Luke Wypler, OC 4. Jonathan Mingo, WR 5. Jack Kuntz, TE 6. Mohammend Ibrahim, RB OR, This one is a bit unique. 1. Bryan Breese, DL 2. Cody Mauch, OT 3. Luke Wypler, OC 4. Sean Tucker, RB 5. Rakim Jarrett, WR 6. Nic Jones, CB (or some other DB)

Do we have last years list? How much of a correlation was there between this list and who they actually took?
