The clip mentioned he was a linebacker and moved to DE.  Could we move him back to linebacker?

This is what I was thinking. With that speed and athleticism he wouldn't really need to put on weight to play linebacker.

This is the pick I hate the most. Yeah he has speed but lacks technique. I feel like the players with good technique do better in the nfl then your players who are great physically.

I’m a big fan of length at the DE spot. I don’t know that there were better players available and I guess he’s new to the position so maybe technique can still be unlocked

I'm just happy we're actually picking elite athletes with potential instead of players like Gaulden and Armanti Edwards.

Armanti won at least one game for us and did stay in pro football for a long time. 

This is the pick I dislike.

The guy has motor issues. He has technique issues he's worse than the Miller kid we got from Bama.

I mean I’d argue that he had one of the worst coaching staffs in all of power 5 football.

When I was watching Willis (Liberty) play Tech, Barno stood out quite a bit (which he should against G5 players).

He didn’t have the production that Marquise Haynes had in college but a lot of their flaws are similar… undersized, has no moves in package (only speed), non-factor in the run game, etc…

Personally I attribute his “motor” issues to just being on a downright horrible VT team the past two years. I don’t think he was in a great situation to be developed.

With his athleticism I think he gives Pasqualoni a lot to work with.

As he gets older he is naturally going to put on weight.. So I like the fact he will do it under the supervision of a pro staff..

    • I was in a typical argument last year with a Bryce advocate and said I could concede every point, but you still would not have an answer for the ball security issues. He coughs it up on the regular. And defenses know this obviously, the likelihood is it keeps happening.  There is nothing we can point to showing it won’t.   And I won’t ever concede that his margins for error are very thin due to his physical makeup. He has to be so much better than the guys with tools just to get similar results. It is expecting too much.  
    • Of course not that I believe Andy Dalton would make us an instant superbowl contenders, but we would definitely see an instant improvement offensively.  Last year when Dalton came in, he threw over 300 yards and 3 TDs.  This is the style of offense Canales seeks to run.  This year we got even more guys to put up air production. (Tetairoa, the intricate routes of Hunter Renfroe, speed with Jimmy Horn, and hopefully the healthy return of Jalen Coker)  Combine that with our running game, and we would be a real threat.  So what Dalton represents, is the opportunity to see what this offense can really do.  What would happen if we can combine this run game, with an effective down the field passing attack?
