The kid could be good, but he isn't a franchise changer.
He’s one of the best athletes ever tested.
He’s also got an amazing feel for the position and great vision.
Extremely strong and balanced.
What makes you say he can’t be a franchise changer? [Reply]

This is the QB age. He will be good, very good like Bell but he's not going to lead the way to a SB title. This isn't the 90's. [Reply]

He's a RB, which is a replaceable position, and due to wear and tear it or the punishment that goes along with RB position could lead to a 5 or 6 year career.
He's not one the best athletes ever tested that would go to Jim Thorpe and Bob Hayes. [Reply]

Regarding this Barkley to Cleveland theme, what is the difference between a good and mediocre tailback? A yard per carry maybe. (5.0 vs 4.0). That's 20 yards of offense per game. How many dominant running backs the last 15 years have had major playoff success?
What do Priest Holmes, Derrick Blaylock, and Larry Johnson all have in common?
What do DeMarco Murray, Ezekiel Elliott and Alfred Morris have in common?
Build a dominant line and production will follow. Cleveland had a decent Oline, but now they need a left tackle. They can trade out of 1 of those picks and get a tackle and a boatload of picks and keep the moneyball approach going. With Dorsey selecting the players they're going to hit on a lot of players. They still have three 2nd rounders this year as well. They can probably get both of Buffalos first rounders this year, both their 2nds this year, and their 1 next year giving them 3 first rounders this year, 5 second rounders this year and 2 first rounders next year. Depodesta is still in Cleveland and I'm not sure why Dorsey would keep him around unless he liked what he had to offer analytically. [Reply]
