Saquon Barkley is my 202. He's absolutely fine there. We saw in 2024 what his upside could be. I'm sort of splitting the difference here. On one hand, I could see Saquon absolutely crushing this year and having the 2024 season where he's a 20 plus point per game scorer, but the nerd in me looks at it and says he scored so many of those touchdowns from 20 plus yards, 30 plus yards, 40 plus yards. It's also a lot of Jaylen Hurts of not wanting to feature Saquon in the passing game. If we could get 60 plus catches for Saquon, he'd be a top five pick.
STACKED’s take
Stewart ranks Barkley #202, splits difference on upside due to TD variance and passing game ceiling
Ron Stewart ranks Saquon Barkley at #202 overall and splits the difference on his 2024 upside. While Barkley could repeat as a 20+ PPG scorer, Stewart notes TD variance concerns—many 2024 scores came from 20+ yard plays (30+, 40+ yards)—and worries about the Eagles' continued reliance on the tush push in close situations, limiting his ceiling. The offensive line aging and Jeff Stoutland's departure add fragility to the projection. Additionally, Jalen Hurts' reluctance to feature Barkley in the passing game is a key ceiling limiter; if Barkley could get 60+ catches, he'd be a top-five pick, but Hurts' lack of checkdowns prevents this. With AJ Brown leaving, there is some upside for increased passing game usage, but Stewart views this as unlikely given the team's continued reliance on the tush push and the new offensive coordinator's likely philosophy.
