Can Dave Gettleman ever top the new record for extreme idiocy he set last night?

[SetfreexX]

Nothing wrong with the pick...next. 

[Cary Kollins]

People saying “RB Back to back years omg!!” seem to think Gettleman took CMC with him to NY.

[heel31ok]

I thought he would go with Chubb...but nothing wrong with the pick...I dont like him but this isn't something to complain about...

[Adb6368]

Yea... sounds like an awful idea to draft the best football player on your big board. Especially when you are still going to run a prototypical pro offense

Like Fournette was last year, and Zeke the year before that, and Gurley before that, and Trent Richardson before that?

I relaly have no dog in this fight either way, I just think the whole "generational talent" thing is way played out. Good RBs exist in every draft and they seem to be the ones most often labeled that way. 

None of the four you mentioned are really even close to Barkley as a prospect. Gurley the closest but he didn’t have the pass game impact Barkley does. Barkley is a can’t miss prospect at HB and the first since maybe Adrian Peterson and he’s even more well rounded than AP which is significant. Zeke, Gurley and Fournette are great in their own rights and worthy of where they were picked but Barkley is certainly better than they were coming out.

 Drafting the best player in the whole draft

Who plays RB

On a team that wants to run the ball

 

 

 

The OP is real bad at masking his hate for Gettleman

[iamhubby1]

    Gman haters, and SEC lovers, are the ONLY ONES trying to make light of this pick. 

[mc52beast]

Hard to pass on a rb that good. Maybe he thought like a lot of us did and didn’t see a franchise qb in this draft. 

I know one thing, if they put that o-line together their offense will be hard to stop.

[MechaZain]

It's the clearest BPA pick he's ever made.

You guys realize he is with the Giants now, right? Two different teams?

The point was about investing too much in the position considering the high bust rate of first round running backs the last several years.

The 2 best rookie running backs in the NFL last year weren't first rounders let alone top 10 picks.

Either you think it's a good plan to go around investing top 10 draft picks in running backs, or you don't. Which one is it?

[beastson]

If they suck again, they'll be able to pick a QB next draft

[Peppers90 NC]

Can the huddle top this idiotic obsession with gettleman?

[Palmetto]

I get the feeling if the Giants took a QB we would be seeing threads like

Gettleman is an idiot he picked the wrong QB

Gettlemans an idiot he picked a QB with the best player (Barkley) still  on the board

[aloysius snuffleupagus]

I reckon Barkley is an excellent pick. However QB is undoubtedly a major need in the blue half of New Jersey; Mason Rudolph at #34?
