Only solace I take is that I've seen a lot of mocks with Mosley lasting until late first/early second. Injury history might scare some teams. Maybe we can snag him too.

Have to trust in Zimmer on this one, but passing on both Manziel and Bridgewater here seems odd.

All 3 decisions Seems smart to me. I dont know squat about Barr but if so many people here dislike the choice I know it has to be good.

NFL.com had Barr with 6th overall grade. Lotta negativity around here! Best player at a position of desperate need. Why the hate?

Barr doesn't feel like a 4-3 LB at any of the three positions. Did they draft him to play DE? OLB in a 3-4 hybrid?

I'll be amazed if he's a week one starter. This is a long term pick. I hope. :confused:

Zimmer loves to blitz the LB (James Harrison). Pick makes sense. He's raw but this is the team that can make him special. problem is with only 1 QB going in the top 10 trading up is going to be expensive

Nor pleased at all. We desperately need LB.........but


Do we trade up for Carr now?
