Saquon Barkley...

[HawkeyeWalker]

A little off topic...but With the talk on where Wadley would potentially go in the draft, and the list of other rbs who on the board, it's curious to me I don't see him on there, based on a total package, I think that dude might be the best rb in the country...size, speed, a jump cut that rivals Wadley in a much bigger frame, and great receiver ability. Can run inside or out, breakaway speed, and can line up in slot...

Just strange I don't see any talk of him leaving or looking. I'd think he'd be #1 rb overall as I think he's more complete than fornette and more backfield ready that macaffery.

NOT a fan of PSU, Franklin annoys me and Mcsorley seems like a punk, but Barkley impresses the hell outta me, he's just crazy to watch.

Barkley is good.
Mccaffrey will be a bust, we made him look like a hero.

Isn't he only a true sophomore? Not eligible and he'll be highly coveted next year

Mccaffrey may not make it in nfl, but if you break any record Barry Sanders held, your freakishly good. If he finds a good fit, he'll likely make it.

Good lord, a true soph? I guess that explains it. That makes him even more impressive. 390 lb power clean as a rb, a 19 year old....crazy.

McCaffrey is the real deal. He tore pretty much everyone up. If he gets in the right situation (such as the Patriots) he could be really productive.

thats just stupid talk, McCaffrey will not be a bust.

Stick him in the slot like the Patriots would do and he'd do ok. As a mainstay RB, no he will not make it.

Agreed.. No doubt.

 

[MelroseHawkins]

Agreed.. No doubt.

Yep. a slot guy or somehow get him in space. hes not going to run between tackles 20 times a game. smaller guys have done it with less wiggle than he.

Well Penn State does like 'em young...

 

[FirstDownHawkeyes]

I agree re Barkley. I'd bet he will be a top 3 RB if not 1 in the 2018 draft.

McCaffery should be a good pro just not a bellweather back. He could be 2017s Tyree Hill or he could flash with no staying power like R Bush. There are just too many factors. It's a team sport. Systems and surrounding players determine so much and injuries happen.

I think Reggie Bush ended up with a decent NFL career. He just had so much hype, and took a few years for him to find his role. Which was get him out in space, special teams

If Danny Woodhead can be successful, I think McCaffery will do well too

Woodhead is just a tough, tough last name to own.

You got that right. Anyplace else, well other than a glamour school the football field would be a dairy farm.
