The Falcons were slotted for the playoffs two weeks ago.

Barkley would have to play like he did at his rookie year peak consistently over four years to be considered anything more than a reach.

Giants fans can correct me if I'm off base here, but the few times I've seen him actually on the field outside his rookie year he hasn't looked like much more than simply a solid starter.

I think Barkley is highly overrated and the pick was really dumb but it's not in the top 50 worst picks of all time. Any first round bust is worse. At least they got some level of production from Barkely for a few years.

A lot of the bust perception came from the opportunity cost. Gettleman could have drafted Sam Darnold instead!

no draft pick is ever guaranteed to perform regardless of draft position this is a stupid take

Right and the ones that significantly underperform relative to their draft position are busts.

Just searched Google and got no results for "Mojoe Mixon" so I must be the first person to come up with it.

How good does a RB have to be for him to be a good pick at 2?

I think if you got Derrick Henry or CMC there you're generally pretty happy with it. Maaaaybe an Alvin Kamara or Dalvin Cook, too?
