Nice work. Guy has great cones and 10yd. Small hands and not great arm length though. I think he gets a bit caught up in traffic and isn't best shedding blockers. What the story will be at this level is TBD. His speed and burst are unquestionable.

I hope he doesn't get the Ware did this and that treatment too long.

Ware had many of the same questions about him coming out of college. Also Ware played at Troy not exactly major conference but he turned out well for us. If Barr has similar drive as Warethen we be lucky to have him.

Not saying we should shop the pick to a team looking for a QB. I was asking if we should take Bridgewater if he is there and use our later picks to move back into late 1st or early 2nd is all.

I agree, I like where we sit and don't want them moving up or down from 16. Just get the BPA there and run with it. My whole scenario assumes Teddy is there....do we draft him or go with BPA other than a QB while sitting put.

I would keep my picks and draft BPA.

I am going to take some comfort in knowing that our scouts are pretty good when it comes to pass rushers,they are rarely wrong and i trust them and the coaches if they pick Barr .

Cassius Marsh, and YES. I'd like to take this guy if he's around late. Hustler, always involved, and looks like he can play a few different positions across the line.

Thanks for the info!

Staying in the baseball perspective and being a Mets fan, I'll play. D. Murphy/D. Wright(doubles hitter) and Granderson(HR or a K)....give me the doubles hitter every time.

Like some have said, Barr is going to be a project and he has upside but there are too many question marks for me. Going from a LB in college to a DE in the NFL....IDK. I don't want to imagine Barr and Selvie as our ends opening up the season.

Dallas has drafted a number of projects lately and some had immense athleticism yet most have not worked out to my liking. Heck, Mo was very athletic, Carter too.

I would just prefer they draft the BPA and keep them at their natural position that they have been playing, not moving them around to plug holes.

Mo was not very athletic. His combine numbers were subpar. I was not impressed with us trading up for Mo. Yet Dallas took him for some reason.
Carter maybe just not fit into the right system or has trouble grasping a change in a defensive system. Who knows.

Every pick including a high round pick has risk involved. Sometimes we have to pick a player even though it carries some risk involved. I would take Barr at 16. I think he will do just fine in the pros if he lands with the right team and with the right coach. I don't think he's a project as well. He may be raw but who cares. So long he gives us sacks and rushes the passer we will be fine.

Dallas completely lacks any type of player like Barr. --a playmaking edge rusher
They have 4 OTs comparable at RT to Martin.
If you would not choose Barr over Martin for Dallas you are so far into BPA mode that you have closed up shop and gone home.

Barr needs a lot of technique work and he has to learn to play a true DE role but if he is there you sprint his card up tot he podium because pass rushers are few and far between.

That's not true. Mo's combine numbers were good. He simply checked every box. He has a 4.5 flat, could jump and was quick in agility drills. He wasn't best of class in any one area but was solid across the board with tremendous game tape.
Mo will be a fine NFL CB. Anyone doubting that should stop all football evaluation immediately.
He has had issues here that were unexpected.... Death of his Dad who was his inspiration and a large Cowboys fan.
And then scheme change away from press corners we had just used ALL available resources to acquire.

Do not be surprised when Claiborne makes a Pro bowl because he will, either here or somewhere else.
