Barkley's agent denies Browns told not to draft him

Mel Kiper Jr. reveals which Auburn player he thinks is most underrated entering 2018 NFL Draft

Mel Kiper Jr. reveals which Auburn player he thinks is most underrated entering 2018 NFL Draft

Saquon Barkley's Roc Nation representatives reportedly want him to play for the Giants over Cleveland so badly that Barkley's manager "implored him to pull an Eli Manning and demand that the Browns not draft him", according to a Sports Illustrated report. "They want him to go second to the Giants and play in the media capital of the world". "I think they want to stay at two and take an elite player". That's where you can become the Face of the League. He probably then had to do some damage control just in case the Browns do select him - much like defensive end Myles Garrett had to after begging the Dallas Cowboys to draft him in 2017.

Sports Illustrated, which claimed in a profile on Barkley that Roc Nation wants him to request that the Browns not draft him, stood by its reporting. McShay said. "Which I've heard some speculation of, between Barkley and Sam Darnold, if Darnold is available". Sure, he likes the idea of being back in the city of his birth-even playing for the Jets, the team he grew up rooting for.

There has always been a feeling that Cleveland is where players go to watch their careers die, but the Browns are hoping to turn things around beginning in 2018.

It's draft season which means we're reading too deeply into things that top prospects say about their potential future employers. Sure, he likes the idea of being back in the city of his birth-even playing for the Jets , the team he grew up rooting for.

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said Wednesday he sees only one way it could happen - if the Browns take quarterback Josh Allen first overall.

In the years that have followed, any time a player has refused to play for a team that may intend to draft them, it's been said that players are, "Pulling an Eli". That paved the way for the Giants to select and trade fellow QB Philip Rivers and draft picks, which they packaged in a deal to the Chargers for Manning. The Giants are the real wild card, as some reports have them coveting Barkley and feeling that Manning, even at age 37, still has a couple more good seasons left in him.

One of the most fascinating questions entering next week's NFL Draft is whether the Giants and Jets could pull off a trade involving the Giants' second overall pick and the Jets' third. It's safe to say that, his agent's denials aside, Barkley's handlers at Roc Nation would be absolutely thrilled to see him in a certain concrete jungle where dreams are made of.
