The hype of Jaishawn Barham

[Rayman70]

Too old. Still available for a reason. Which young player are you cutting?

Bell

 

[DuncanIso]

3rd rounder. Can we pump the breaks a bit?

I would.

he’s Parker’s pet also.

 

[DuncanIso]

Bell

No way

 

[JustDezIt]

He was a beast in college. There is tape of him smacking OGs at the line of scrimmage to blow up run plays.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Jerry's player evaluations mean nothing to me.

Agreed why even ask him or his idiot son.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

The guy just has the LOOK!! He has that strong muscle face, reminds me a lot of Takeo Spikes


Don't make it a habit


Let's see him a bit during the rams

Coog what is a "strong muscle face?"

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Yes, did the same with Parsons.

You may need to go outside and clear your head Ram.

Nothing wrong with my head. We got 3 solid rookies in Downs, Lawrence, and Barham. It looks like Phil Mafah has a chance at being a solid player too.

 

[Kwyn]

Now keep surrounding him with good players. We need winters out there with him. Id honestly bring in a vet like Bobby wagner right now. Resign Clowney. Id even look at adding another vet cb

Clowney hasn’t attended an off season program in years. Parker and Schottenheimer wanted this complete defensive rebuild to start with the voluntary workouts in April.

Unless there is an injury, I think Clowney was one and done here. If there’s another pass rusher on the way I think It happens via trade.

As someone who is a fan of the Barham pick I'm glad he's impressing early on, but I also throw out 90% of what I hear about the first couple weeks of camp. When I hear hype around a rookie I'm quickly reminded of this thread

 

[QuestForSix]

If him and Downs show out this year and we add another difference maker this could easily be a top 10 unit

 

[Rockport]

This guy certainly looks the part of a LB. Got the size. We’ll soon see how he can play.

Do you remember the Parsons hype?

 

[xwalker]

OLB is his natural position. Cowboys said after the draft they want to see him at MLB..

There were some folks questioning his ability to play LB because he was pressed into service as an edge rusher three games into his senior year due to to the teams weak pass rush and that was what was listed on draft day

38 games at OLB
7 games at EDGE

I like facts...

 

[irishline]

Yes, did the same with Parsons.

And I am sure others who ended up not being so beastly. Let's be honest about it, you have, through the years, used that term more generously than most on here (not saying there is anything wrong with the positivity... just the percentage of accuracy and certainty you are referencing throughout this thread, Nostradamus).

As for Barham, I love what I have seen and read about him and am optimistic (love the McClain comps), but the history of the league is full of players who looked "beastly" in rookie camp and the first two days of training camp that ended up not being what we thought when the NFL pads and lights come on.

they are the one drafting incase people forget,we don't have a GM.

I don't remember using the term beast very often. Barham is a beast.

Yes but I think there is a massive difference in hyping a top 10ish pick and a top 100ish pick.

I like Barham but we know nothing yet. Hyping a parsons or a Caleb downs I’m all for. The mid round athletic positional tweener types often look good this time mid year. I’m going to wait at least until full pads go on and everyone is at full speed before evaluating a front 7 player too much.

Barham should have gone higher. I think the Cowboys would have taken him much higher.
