I like all our potential options in 1&2. We can also go OL late and still hit pay dirt. The stars seem to be lining up well for us in best avail vs need which seems to seldom happen for us.

Side note - Barnett broke Reggie's sack record in 3 years. The great RWhite played 4 years at Tennessee.

Pick #11 is gonna be very interesting.

Danny Weurffel was great in college too!

Don't see Barnett's game translating to the NFL; his production was in bunches, not every game...

Barnett's too small to hold the edge in a NFL 4-3 and too slow to cover as a 3-4 NFL LBer...

And we already had that player in Galette, who also had issues holding the corner...

Galette was often gashed on run plays by kicking him out with even an average tackle...

All Junior wanted to do was pin his ears back and rush the passer EVERY play, ignoring other assignments...

Need a more complete defensive end to bookend with Cam Jordan, not a pass rush specialist with a first round pick...

There's only two defensive ends I'd take in the first round - Myles Garrett and...

Maybe Malik McDowell if I can resolve some of the grumblings from Lansing, trying to get some juice...

McDowell is now with Drew Rosenhaus, and so he will be re-branded, and go through his "finishing school"...

Physically this guy is the goods and is what could be an ideal match to Cam Jordan...

Meh ...

Watched his tape and nothing really stands out. His footwork and technique needs a lot of coaching up. The production is too inconsistent for my taste. At pick #11, I see better options.

Derek Barnett ...elite production against very good competition and he's a hard nosed player.
