I know that Saquon Berkley wasn't the most valuable player candidate. A record running back and if he stays with the Giants, he's a Super Bowl champion. This assumption has been repeated frequently over the past few weeks, as Berkley and the Eagles went deeper into the playoffs.
What became more obvious when Barkley stirred up the yards, sometimes carrying the birds over wide shoulders, and even the thighs of wooden trunks, was the giants really ruined this. Certainly, getting Barkley on the second-most picks in the 2018 NFL Draft was against the recommendations of almost every position value chart and all draft analysts. Don't get a running back with top 5 picks. It can be obtained later, after the first round, and even on the third day of the draft (round 4-7).
However, if you are charting another course, you might want to make sure you run around teams to build a team and wear capes and expect to become a superhero.
The Giants, former general manager Dave Getttleman, specifically, opposed its traditional wisdom. Discuss everything you want. Berkley showed off more than a few greatness in his six seasons with the Giants, but he came down with a daily ankle and knee injury and a torn ACL in 2020, which limited him to two games. , he failed to reach 1,000 rushing yards (962 in 14 games), averaging 3.9 yards per attempt, managing only 100 yards of games throughout the 2023 season. He didn't look like a 27-year-old spry.
