A similar roster to last years when most fans were expecting a winning season and many were predicting a SB run. With new schemes on the offensive and defensive side of the ball, an OL that is one injury away from fielding street players and a QB in decline does not spell contender to me. I can understand why you want Barkley if you view the team as potential contenders this year as his presence probably gets 1-2 wins more than our current RB's would get us. But if you don't see this team as contenders next year, drafting Barkley makes no sense at all.
I think people overlook this point. In 5 years DG will be 70. He doesn’t have 5 years to draft a rookie QB, have him sit for a year or two and then play him another 3 to figure out if he can play. He doesn’t have that kind of time to wait. If the Giants take Barkley and these next 4 years the Giants are competing for the playoffs, he’s not going to care who the QB is 4-5 years from now. He has Eli and he has Webb and he has 4 years to find someone else. Cross that bridge when you get there.
