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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

My biggest issue here is the fact that he has only played DE 1 year from a converted TE...

No doubt he is gifted physically. And I think that he has the potential to bring some heat as well as versatility to the def.

I would be more comfortable droping him into coverage for a zone blitz than any other DE on the roster.
