They also have Duke Johnson who is pretty good, Hyde is a very good back and underrated. I'm not saying they will pass on Barkley but it's not impossible to think that.

The Browns are very much open to shopping their picks, so it's not a lock that they'd draft Barkley. I have to say though, if the 'skins somehow got Barkley, I think that would be the magic beans for Alex Smith.

I would trade up to get him but I know it won't happen.

Also TB is working out Guice today so it looks like we may not go RB at 13 if both of those studs are gone.

If not RB, then definitely BPA and hope that is a DL.

Duke Johnson is more WR than RB at this point

With new GM and Scot in Browns office, it's kinda hard to see them spending money on RBs now that they just signed Hyde and they are trying to extend Duke Johnson. Without looking at numbers and I'm guessing Duke Johnson's worth, if they draft Barkely, then it would mean they are spending around $15m on RBs per year? That is unless Browns want to become a team who will always run, which is something they can do with Tyrod Taylor.
