I say he fall out of the top 15. 

 

Maybe, even the 1st. Imo, Emmanuel Ogbah and Kevin Dodd were better prospects. They both fell out. 

I'm not on the Barnett train but to say those 2 were better is crazy talk.

 

i have him going to the Ravens.  He's a better fit as a 3-4 edge rusher ala Demarcus Ware.   Ware is 258 like Barnett at 259.

Ogbah and Dodd were bigger and stiffer.  Both of those guys are more 4-3 guys, but still not as talented overall as Barnett

But Ogbah got drafted to play OLB right?  There was a time when Ogbah was mentioned as the no1 pick.

He got drafted as a edge rusher.  Browns picked bpa.  They tried him at 3-4 OLB to start and that stiffness everyone talked about showed.  Looked bad and they moved him to DE even in a 3-4

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
