When all of the established, high-upside quarterbacks are gone, getting a playmaker like Barkley is Washington’s best bet. There was a little skepticism surrounding Barkley before his rookie season, but he averaged five yards per carry and accumulated over 2,000 all-purpose yards, putting to bed any concerns about how his game would translate to the NFL.

Of course, the most important factor is that Barkley is only 22 years old. That’s a huge factor, especially at the running back position. Regardless of who’s playing quarterback, Barkley will be an elite playmaker and the focal point of an offense for at least five years, possibly longer, and that’s worth the 15th overall pick.
