“Takin’ all bets!? (Saquon), can’t wait”. “I’m ready to blend into the system and learn about my teammates”. The pick itself isn’t too much of a surprise.

Barkley, who starred at Penn State, is considered by a plethora of National Football League general managers, coaches and talent evaluators as the best player in the draft regardless of position. “I want this to be about where I’m going next”, Barkley said.
“Will is going to play both sides to see where he fits in”, Shurmur said. Tight end Mike Gesicki is projected to be a second-round pick, and wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton and cornerback Grant Haley are expected to be third-round choices.

Yet Barkley possesses the physical and cerebral gifts to be a transcendent player and future Hall-of-Famer. But not this one, not with the Jets (again) committed to drafting a quarterback.
Darnold looked to have very little bust potential and has the makeup to withstand the harsh NY media.
The Jets, after a failed free-agent pursuit of Kirk Cousins, had been on the clock at No. 3 for almost six weeks.
Drafting Baker Mayfield is a bit of a risk for the Browns, but they feel that he is the best player in the draft.
Speed played a part in Thursday night’s sales. “And he’s a better person than he is a player”. All of a sudden, Barkley just made the NFC East race even more interesting, and here’s to hoping the Eagles will be ready for the rookie once Week 6 arrives.
That will ultimately be the way Darnold’s career in NY will be measured.
