Freshman last year and had 2 sacks, 6 TFL... To say he is trending upwards is an understatement. Again, let me see what a 6'5 311 lb guy moves like at the combine before I say he isnt worth 11.
Where is Toney, the WR from Florida, being drafted in some of the early projections?
Well given the fact that we have two very promising OTs and the fact that we could very well be losing a huge factor on our DL (I think Hill is also a UFA next year), need might likely fit BPA.
Again, the combine is a big deal for Barmore, but I think people are short changing how important keeping a dominant D line together is, especially when the next one could be longer and provide a BUNCH more pass rush.
I have to stop talking about it because now, dreams of 3 down linemen getting to the QB while we drop 8 in coverage are dancing in my head. Lol
We have Thomas. Peart is a tease right now to a bunch of fans yearning for promise at Tackle. Everybody else at OT is worthless.
I hope Peart becomes a contender but have no issue adding a 3rd young OT, even if for just the case that somebody goes down hard. Can’t just have an injury at OT shut down the team that scores a stunning 17.5 points per game.
But to your point, if the DL has turnover then I am fine bringing it into the mix. I just think Getts is to in bed with big Leonard to let that happen.
Or get a Center in free agency and move Gates to Right Guard. Lose Zeitler and that will help pay for LW so we can reconfigure the WR and TE units with this draft.
said on the Eisen podcast that Barmore is a bit of an enigma in that he has some tape where he was pretty invisible and other tape where he was dominating. Just going beyond the numbers here, Jeremiah seemed to think Barmore is not a top 15 pick, but more back-end of the first, early 2nd, IIRC. That said, it's too early in the process.
The combine should start to solidify things a bit more, if they even have a combine, because that's not a given.
Me personally, I think Barmore is going in the top 15. It only takes one team to buy-in and fall in love, and I think he has the physical attributes and production that will result in a team being aggressive for his services.

He has played for 2 years....first season 10 sacks, 2nd season he had 8 sacks in 11 games to go with 15.5 tackles for loss.
I am not sure what measurables he has, other than prototypical 3-4 DE height and weight. His drills are going to be interesting.
Again, a cost controlled dominant D line would solve a lot of problems.
Barmore had 10 sacks last in 2019? I think he had maybe 2 or 3...tops...?
No no...he had 8 in 11 games this year, and 2 last year

He opted out, but Rashawn Slater of Northwestern is a very good T prospect.

Worth 11? I havent heard of any other Sewell. I thought Leatherwood would be in plays, but apparently he is an extreme reach there.

Well he is a guy I heard about, but dont know if he is a more pragmatic use of 11 than Barmore when Peart is still highly thought of.
I will shelve this until FA and the combine, but the DL might be the BPA come April.
Not really in tuned yet with Draft prospects but assume every draft has a few OTs and a top Guard that make it into the top 15.
I probably watched less college football this year than last 10 years. Need a few weeks to look at the candidates.

I have mentioned that I love Davis as an option at Guard. We need at least one of those too.
Maybe.
