I sure as hell didn't expect him to have the impact he did. I was on board for Cook or Mixon though. My gripes with Kamara were the same ones Bootz laid out, he didn't seem like a guy who would make a ton of hay in between the tackles. Turns out that with Brees and Ingram on the team, he didn't need to.
Don't get me wrong, I don't see this draft as Barkley or bust. I'd be very happy witha guy like Chubb in a later round if we got to draft Chubb or Nelson at 7. It's when we start talking about Barkley vs DB's with question marks that taking the elite RB becomes an easy choice.
I've always felt that the RB is one of the last things you get because of their generally shorter career peak. I also believe that drafting them is the best way to get a back, so you get all of their peak. We are currently set up to win now. We have a bunch of new DL that are closing on 30, just like McCoy. We are still on Winstons rookie deal. We have all the offensive weapons you could want except a back. Barkley would most likely be a home run pick.
