I think so. Barkley is a lot more polished as a player, but I think he's significantly less talented. I'd feel a lot better on draft day about a high pick on Foles than a high pick on Barkley.

With that said, my expectations in the NFL for Foles aren't any higher than those for Barkley, I just think Foles needs to be managed significantly less earlier in his career. He can clearly create outside the pocket, but movement in the pocket is so important in the modern game, and that's something Nick Foles has yet to master. With Barkley, that pocket presence is a non-issue.
