This conversation would be different if it were a team like the Colts that selected Barkley.

You know who was a real generational talent at his position in that draft, though? Quentin Nelson.
If the Colts were picking at 2nd overall in that draft, I'm not so sure they still wouldn't be better served taking Nelson that high over the RB.
And to be honest, if the Giants were really that stubborn about "setting the table" before you throw your young QB out there, I think a pick like Nelson would have been more valuable to that QB than taking the RB. You would have had fans screaming and lashing out about taking an offensive lineman over any of the QBs in what was considered a deep QB draft, but that's exactly what they did anyway when you took the RB, and that's exactly what they did when you took Daniel Jones. It's obvious Gettleman doesn't give a **** what fans or anybody else thinks, so you may as well go with the actual best player if you weren't going to take Darnold or another QB
