All he needs to do is grow a foot or two and gain two hundred pounds and he can look forward to being drafted by Al Davis. In all seriousness though, agility drills are far more important. How'd he do on the 3 cone?
Well in my book he's a borderline first round pick. Throw that 40-time in and he's definitely worthy of a 1st round choice.
No doubt, E, in fact I projected him to the Pats at #23 Overall in the last mock draft I submitted two weeks ago http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=43286
No doubt, PA My TOP 5 34OLB's, all of whom carry a 1st RD Grade (if you run a 34 defense) in my view 1. Everette Brown 2. Brian Orakpo 3. Aaron Maybin 4. Connor Barwin 5. Larry English
http://forums.theganggreen.com/showpost.php?p=1154708&postcount=46 hes obviously moved up since then but ive liked him for a while but now his stock is skyrocketing. he'll be a steal for someone.
I think its too early to give up on Barwin as a TE. Draft him, and if they don't need him as an OLB then throw the ball to him. It would at least be fun to watch.
I already tried that move, ed ... I tried to sneak him into my TE rankings so I could free up another spot in my 34OLB rankings and Mr. E busted me trying to get slick :grin:
Connor Barwin's Pro Day Interview I heard it was a 4.49, but this guy says a 4.47 [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwGkH6LkpE8[/YOUTUBE]
And this is what makes him an even better fit in New England. Mike Vrabel was the OLB who became a TE in the redzone and now he's gone. Barwin seems like a match made in heaven for the Pats...
As of right now, Connor Barwin is the perfect fit for the Atlanta Falcons since they need help at TE and DE, and he can play both those positions.
