Connor Barwin, DE - Round 2, 46th Overall
 
Someone to rush the passer.

TexanJedi 04-25-2009 07:39 PM

Very versatile with upside. I am happy enough. Now get a RB at some point and build depth.

nunusguy 04-25-2009 07:39 PM

I am absolutely excited about this pick ! Risky for sure, but big time upside !
Very interesting prospect. This makes up for my apathy about the first-round choice.

While I was really hoping E brown would fall to us...I think that's a solid pick

highlights from Barwin.

I like it...I'm curious to see how he fits in. I assumed they would try to drop down Cushing to end on 3rd down, but that would seem to be Barwin's job now. As long as peyton manning is on his back i'll be happy.

papabear 04-25-2009 07:45 PM

i wouldn't be opposed to moving back into the second for Unger or Johnson...and I'm rarely in favor of trading up.

Hand down DE, can play either side, will start off behind Mario according to Kubiak.

That is cool. He can learn the game at a nice pace. He will see the field in packages that work for him. Should be a Special Teams terror.

NFL.com had this to say about him:

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2009/profil...arwin?id=71197

Pick Analysis: The pass-rushing phenom from Cincinnati lands with the Texans at the 46th pick. A tremendous athlete with outstanding speed and quickness, Barwin has the requisite movement skills to develop into a versatile situational player as a pro. Though the Texans have primarily used the 4-3, Barwin's skills allow the flexibility to incorporate some hybrid looks into the game plan.

Another guy who looks like he plays fast. This move should allow Cushing to stay on the field on third down as a LB.

edo783 04-25-2009 10:11 PM

Solid pick with good upside IMO.

James 04-25-2009 10:23 PM

4.47 40 at his pro day. That's ridiculous.

BigBull 04-25-2009 10:38 PM

I think the pass rush should be much improved this season.:D

DE Connor Barwin Cincinnatti HOU 6' 4" 256 4.59 21 40.5 2.68 1.53 10.75 6.87 4.18 72.25 12.58 5.74

I like the athleticism the team is going for on defense.
Cushing had explosion of 75 and Athletic Index of 5.96, then we go and get this guy.

Blitzwood 04-25-2009 11:31 PM

Barwin in the second is a gift, really.
I love the potential tandem of him and Cush.

Great job Kubiak !

My friends and I call Barwin "meat-hooks" because of his long arms attacking the ball carrier.
I wonder if Kyle plans on using him on the offense.
Should be interesting...

coloradodude 04-26-2009 02:23 AM

IF the coaches do their job with this guy he will be a stud. I was watching some clips on him two nights ago hoping we would land him.

Coach him up, give him simple assignments at first then turn him loose.

Mike 04-26-2009 03:55 PM

This kind of scared me..... Casserly said he loved him this morning. Mentioned he could rush the passer and he had expolosiveness and athleticism. His best years might be year 2-3 when he learns how to be a more complete player.

popanot 04-26-2009 04:20 PM

I definitely feel he has the size and athletisim to be a factor and at least be someone who the offense has to account for opposite Mario. He should be good and has the potential to be very good.
