Barr will be a STUD !!!
Maybe a 3-4 OLB/Rush LB ?
I think at 6'5" 255, he makes Robison expendable.
There are 2 ways to stop a passing attack.
1) Shutdown CBs or
2) get to QB before WR gets open !
Barr will get there in a HURRY !!!
He will be a stud ! Maybe not in year 1, but definitely year 2 and so on.

Flummoxed. :wallbang: The only way that this is not a reach is if this guy can become as good or better than Vontaze Burfict right out of the gate. :confused:

Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.
Including now, HOF WR #80 Cris Carter

Manziel keeps dropping. This is feeling a little Brady Quinn-ish.

Of course they do. Complete media creation that they'd take him with that pick.

The only think I can think of is we are going 3-4 D. Or a hybrid 4-3 as close to a 3-4 as there is. Ugh, I didn't want to be upset on the first night of the draft.

Yeah, and they owe Romo the moon. Unless they could have gotten out of the contract. Cant belive they gave him that huge contract.

@Andrew_Krammer 15m
Zim: I've never had a LB with his size and his speed. Even back in my Dallas days.
@Andrew_Krammer 14m
Zim: "Typically our Sam linebacker blitzes a lot more than our Will." Hence young Barr there and Greenway elsewhere.

He's as close to elite as you can get without being elite. It's understandable. Especially with the alternative being the QB position of teams like...us!

Zimmer used a guy named James Harrison in the 43 to blitz from the SAM position.

It'd be a stupid financial move to draft him.

maybe we can move back into the 1st to draft Mosley as well. It would be kind of fun to see 2 teams who need a QB to pass twice on Manziel
