Connor Barwin, DE - Round 2, 46th Overall

[Keith]

Someone to rush the passer.

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

[nunusguy]

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

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]

Solid pick with good upside IMO.

[papabear]

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]

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.
