I sort of agree but not all the way .
k will pick a player up to 12 or 15 slots above adp if I really love the player and there is less then a 50% chance he will be there with my next pick
So we are that concerned about the giants OL but are perfectly ok with the Panthers, Vikings, Jags and Dolhpins OL's. None of which pro football focus has ranked inside the top 15 in the NFL? But Justin's point remains, even if you think that Drake will outscore Barkley the fact is one has an ADP of #6 while the other has an ADP of #35. So if you really think Drake outscores Barkley then you still take Drake later in the draft, not the 1st round. I can have an opinion that Golden Tate outscores Antonio Brown, it doesn't mean I take him in round 1 when I can get him in round 5.
Lets say you had pick 6. if you take Barkley there you can still have like an 80% chance of also landing Drake in the 3rd round if you want him. Or go WR in the 1st knowing that you're going to go after Drake in the 3rd.
With all that said, I don't know what site you use but absolutly no where have I seen any person, let alone site, predict Drake to outscore Barkley. FantasyPros has a group of 99 what they call "experts", how great alot of those experts are idk but i know that of 99 people Barkley is ranked anywhere from #2 to #11 of those 99 guys. Drake's highest ranking by any of the 99 guys is #12 down to a low of #35. Like I said, by the end of the season could it happen, sure, anything is possible. However, even if I believed that you still don't draft that way when one guys ADP is so much lower.
Oh I agree with you. I'll take him as my WR3 every single time, but you get my point. You don't just draft a dude way way above his ADP just cause you like him. Im certainly willing to take a guy a little above his ADP if its a guy I really like but taking a guy that goes at the end of 3 start of the 4th in the 1st round is crazy imo
You obviously didn't read my post in it's entirety (please stop with the Drake nonsense). Let's revisit it so you can get it straight...
"That's the order they were drafted. Clearly most people understand that the Giants offensive line is subpar. Barkley ranks no higher than 9th on the charts I use (so yeah, a couple of those guys could have drafted Barkley before but not much earlier). Admittedly, I don't really blame them on Barkley. With that line protecting Eli, he won't have that much time to throw. He better hope OBJ gets open quick. And if the passing game is off, that's not going to bode well for the rushing game. Johnson went later for similar reasons (lack of trust in Bradford and a running back coming off a severe injury). I wasn't worried about it as I already had Gurley. I already gave you the charts I have on Barkley. Plenty of people think he'll be outscored by the 8 in front of him.
I further went on to say who the 8 in front of him were....
Gurley
Elliott
Kamara
Bell
Johnson
Hunt
McCaffery
Fournette
Gordon
As for the offensive line ranking....

NYG #25 (like I said, they suck). The only one worst than them is the one that surprisingly has David Johnson (yeah that guy you said should be drafted so high that you just had to join our league because the owners don't know what they're doing, lol)
As mentioned, depends on the site you use. Sporting News has Barkeley at 9, SBR Nation has him at 8, my source has him at 9. In addition (not that I care as he wasn't the ones listed in front of Barkley), but most sites have Drake in the 15 to 16 spot. Give me a break on the #35 ranking (probably the same outlier site that has Barkley listed at 5). I noticed you didn't have a lot to say on the Cobb comment. Like I said, last year was arguably his worst and you don't have any numbers to prove otherwise (which is probably why you dodged it). I'll let my comments stand on their merits and have a good laugh when I revisit this thread later in the season. Talk to you in a couple of months.
