Round 6 Pick 189: Amaré Barno, EDGE, Virginia Tech

Panthers selected Virginia Tech EDGE Amare Barno with the No. 189 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Barno (6’5/246) wasn’t even rated by the major recruiting services out of high school, but it might have been for the best as he excelled at the JUCO level before signing with Virginia Tech. He took a redshirt before receiving Honorable Mention All-ACC recognition in 2020, leading the team with 16.0 TFLs, 6.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. Barno started all 12 games in 2021, but his production slipped to 5.5 TFLs and 3.5 sacks despite an appreciable jump in pressure rate, going from eight percent in 2020 to 11.5 percent last year. His straight-line speed is among the best of all time at the position, running an incredible 4.36 40, while his 37-inch vertical is 93rd percentile and his 10-foot-11 broad jump is one of the top marks in history for an edge defender. However, the Achilles heel for Barno is his play strength. His spindly frame leads to him getting overpowered at the point of attack, and he lacks the counter ability or technique to dislodge from blocks. A fast and long-limbed edge defender with elite speed, Barno will need to make some changes to stick at the next level, but his special teams acumen could help him stick around

Was hoping he was going to be the pick. Obviously not ready to play yet but just another athletic freak that has tools you can work with. At this point in the draft that’s all you can ask for.

I particularly like Fitterer’s idea of searching for home runs in the later rounds. Sure there are some guys out there that are more polished and will develop into average NFL players, but you can get those same type of guys as UDFA’s. Fitterer is swinging for the fences and trying to land stars in the late rounds… I’m about it.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
