He seems to be a pretty good fullback at West Virginia. I am not sure how he is projected or anything, but I would think he can succeed in the NFL. The Jets need a solid fullback, that is for sure. Sometimes Barnes isn't even active. Any thoughts on Owen Schmitt?
I don't want to waste a draft pick on a fullback...especially anything before the 5th round. Sure he's an awesome blocker and can do things with the ball after the catch, but he's mainly lined up in a shotgun spread option formation. He rarely comes out of a weak, strong, or I formation. Barnes is a capable blocker, but we'll probably end up bringing another free agent in after this season.
