Barr had his best years with George Edwards (Cowboys LB coach 2xs). Barr is similar to Parsons in that they are LBers that can rush the passer, play coverage, and stop the run. Barr is more of a Strong side LB/DE. With the glaring weakness at DE, Barr will see more time on the End of the line instead of behind it. However, if they can play Barr, Parsons, Vander Esch, and Cox on the field at the same time with additional help at DT (major need), this will be a top 5 defense. Its needed because the offense will suck.
Like Parsons out of college, Barr was an athletic freak playing offense his 1st 2 years at UCLA.
