Hill claims Barr top target

Broaddus was saying same thing earlier, really hope they're wrong I'd much prefer Donald

 

[NJ22]

Hope so. I do also.

 

[ferrispata]

I have a feeling this is due to the fact that we have Melton. If no Melton, I bet we would want Donald as first choice.

 

[DBOY3141]

That and they may no he's not making it out of the top 10 and don't want to go up to get him with Melton on board now. I'm good with Barr, I think he has huge upside.

Barr may not make it out either

 

[DBOY3141]

very true. I think he' s a sleeper for Minnesota. Zimmer may see him as a Michael Johnson type.

Donald will go top ten tomorrow night.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Barr then Easley first 2 picks is a great start

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I can understand the reasoning behind the team preferring Barr to Donald.

 

[AsthmaField]

I think it is a smokescreen. If they move up it will be for Donald, IMO.

I don't know how it could be a smokescreen at this point.

Furthermore it did not say that the are willing to move up for Barr. It just says they covet him more than Donald.

Again not sure how that could be a smokescreen.

Because they just signed a 3 tech and cut a fan favorite future HOF DE and have no one to currently replace him?

A lot of people talk about drafting a DT like Melton doesn't exist. Honestly won't shock me if we don't draft a DT until like the 4th.

 

[Common Sense]

I just don't see Barr as a DE.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I just don't see Barr as a DE.

Not being mean here.... it really does not matter how you or I view Barr.

It is how the coaches view him.

He said when he visited the Cowboys that the coaches talked about him being a DE in their system.

I think he is a gamble. I think it is going to take him time to adjust. But he does have a high ceiling and with the exception of Clowney and possibly Mack he probably is the top Quick Twitch type of athlete that will be rushing the passer and that gets Coaches all giddy.

I like Donald, but on running downs you aren't going to put both of them (Melton & Donald) on the field together. That's probably a good 30% of the snaps anyway.

This team will go flashy DE over tough Interior 10 times out of 10. Can't help themselves.

Just a guess here, so keep that in mind. And let me say that in all likelyhood you would be correct about this.

However, if they let it leak out that they would want Barr over Donald then if Dallas is working the phones to move up and somebody like Chicago was dead set on getting Donald, the Bears would think that Dallas was jumping up to get Barr and not Donald. If a team that wants Donald got wind of Dallas trying to trade up, they would know that it would be for Donald and that they'd have to trade up to be able to get him. After this rumor, teams probably think it would be for Barr if both were on the board still.

It just seems to me a funny thing for them to let out a couple of days before the draft. Why would they? All it would accomplish is to give another team warning that if they wanted Barr they would need to move up in front of Dallas... just like Seattle did in 2009 with Max Unger.

Bottom line, if Dallas has a chance at both Barr and Donald and they take Barr.. then I will happily say I was wrong. Until they do though... I think it is Donald who they covet the most.

Seems a little too out there but who knows, maybe you are right.
