If Steve Keim is the GM I'd trust him with our pick. I think Whiz was the main guy in Floyd's corner... |
Maybe but I highly, HIGHLY doubt Graves turns that card in if Keim wasn't on board. And besides, what's wrong with picking Floyd? Kid's had some ups and downs but the ups have been legit and he's got as bright a future as anyone.

I really like the Floyd pick still. I wanted Melvin Ingram as well but once Floyd gets a QB he will have a good career. |

Nothing but the general opinion is that we should've taken OL. I was all for the Floyd pick.

True. Again though, I highly doubt that pick goes through if Steve Keim says he's strongly against it.

If we're gonna try and take Barkley we'd be best off to create a package centered around a 2014 pick and our 2013 2nd round pick (Which will be around 35-37) to get back into the 1st round.

| I actually liked Floyd better than Blackmon because of physicality. Floyd will have a great career once they get a QB |

Why would that be? There aren't any big QB needs for teams outside the top 10, none really in the teens, certainly none in the 20s. MAYBE the Jets, MAYBE the Bills. That's it. And, just for good measure, Barkley isn't that good.

I disagree with you saying Barkley isnt that good. Yes he's had a down year but that can be attributed to an awful oline and a game plan based almost solely on Lee. Kiffin didnt do a good job with the game plans. Barkley is good. Put him in a Bill Walsh-type West Coast offense, and Barkley will thrive. I think the Bills would grab Barkley because they said they will go and get a franchise QB. Barkley's stock will probably rise again. |

Bolded: Wow. I, um... don't know what to say to this. Honest question, have you even seen USC/Barkley play?
As for Bills, here ya go:
"I just don't want to get people expecting that no matter who's there in the first round we're going to take a quarterback because that's not true. We'll still take the best player."

I've watched almost every game from the past 2 years and I still think Barkley can be a very good quarterback. Chip Kelly even believes that Barkley is better than Luck. I understand your points, but i think your looking to closely at the stat sheets. If you watch the games, Barkley is being pressured quickly and from all angles. |

Nix has said the Bills will absolutely come away with a franchise QB this year, but as noted, no where has he said that it has to come from the 1st round. (BTW, good luck with that this year, Buddy!)
And AZPSquared, as for Barkley going to the Bills, one question: Why the heck would we do that? We already have a QB who excels at short to intermediate throws, knows the offense (assuming Chan stays), and has a contract for a few more years. Further, Fitz is a warrior who gives his all (to the extent that he can) on the field and absolutely has the respect of his teammates. So, again, why would we ever want to replace one dink & dunk QB with another? Makes no freakin' sense. You want Barkley? He's all yours!

So what you are saying with the bolded here is that you have access to the USC gameplans.
