I know this has ended poorly in the past...but could also be a sign he’s going to be drafted a lot higher than we all think
Awful, awful draft.
Take a look at Brown and Kinlaw from last year and tell me Barmore is at that level.
No way.
I dont care what happened or didn't happen in their rookie years and what any of you want to tell yourselves what Barmore is.
Be happy to grab one starter from this draft.
Itll end up as one of the worst of the last 20 years.
(In bold ^^^) I don't care that you don't care. You're going to hear it from me!!!Awful, awful draft.

Barmore was coming off of ankle injury to start last season, thus why he didn't shine until late in the season. I don't care who you are, a serious ankle injury will slow down any player, especially a big guy who plays in the trenches. The Barmore that we saw the last 4 games (including playoffs) is a healthy Barmore who showed what he can truly do when healthy and motivated. He most definitely is worth our #10 pick.My issue with Barmore is this:
For the last 4 games of the season he looked like a guy that was well worth a top 15, if not 10, pick.
But the rest of the season...he looked no better than Dixon or McNeil.
I believe I read he had an ankle injury in the spring that could be the reason he didn’t his full stride until late. Or is he just inconsistent? If I felt sure that we would get the player from the last 4 games I would take Barmore at 10, just not sure how possible it is to feel confident in that.
That was my mad at the world in general good night post lol.(In bold ^^^) I don't care that you don't care. You're going to hear it from me!!!

I can move it to a daily item upon request.
The funny thing about this is Barmore actually performed on the highest level. Nobody cared about Kinlaw until senior bowl PRACTICES lol. But you have clueless dudes coming on here acting like they know what they're talking about when comparing the two. Id take a guy who dominated in the national championship games than all star practice.My issue with Barmore is this:

That's true I forgot about that. He also had some sort of issue with his knees I think.The funny thing about this is Barmore actually performed on the highest level.

Barmore is just as good a prospect as both of those guys, because he's a better pass rusher.Awful, awful draft.

Barmore is right up there with Derrick Brown and Javon Kinlaw as a prospect. He’s got the size, burst, length and flexibility to win in several different ways. But more importantly, it’s already led to elite production. Barmore has earned pass-rushing grades of 88.1 (2019) and 91.5 (2020) in his two seasons at Alabama.
Ok buddy. And lol at "i dont care what they did as rookies". Of course you dont. The egos on this website, I tell ya.

Brown, specifically, wasn't worth that pick at the time, and won't be worth it next year either. Kinlaw was all an upside pick, he had the same inconsistencies as Barmore.
I just want to get him. My preferred method is with a trade down or, better yet, with him somehow making it to 44, but if it's takes 10, I'm not going to be upset about it.
Of course, I don't generally get upset with who we draft (even though I have my preferences) because you never really know how they are going to work out. Players are taken where the draft "experts" say they should be and bust and players are taken ahead of where the draft "experts" should be and succeed.
One that has always stuck with me is Patrick Watkins. Can't remember where the experts had him rated, but I remember some fans wanting to take him as early as the second round. We got him in the fifth and I believe he was the only pick some fans liked that year, thinking that we got a major steal. He turned out to be nothing more than a special teammer.
