Hawk88 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Connor Barwin of Cincinnati is an outside linebacker/defensive end who may project as a tight end in the NFL. He is over 6-3 1/2 weight 256 and runs a 4.66 40. This is pretty amazing size and speed. Could this guy play 3 positions of need for the Falcons. Spot tight end duties, defensive end and/or outside linebacker. The guy looks big fast, has a great motor and is very athletic. Very intriguing to me. We would have to take him in round 1 to get him unless we can trade back a few spots, but New England may like him at 23. Hawk88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachx Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 No complaints from me if he is the #1 pick for us. I have heard his name and the CB, Butler, from UConn mentioned with the Patriots pick at #23. I would be thrilled if either of them fell to us.

DrReality Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I can't see a rookie playing all three positions. It's enough to learn the schemes for just the defensive side. Way too much to asked of a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too much to asked of a rookie. Agreed. No way he does it as a rookie. You give a guy like that a simple role to play in his rookie season. Then in years 2 and 3 you can worry about him filling in at TE every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimsey Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm intrigued by Sean Smith out of Utah. 6'4" 4.47 CB. Hopefully the grab him in the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlanta Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Barwin does not impress me. He looks slow off the edge. I'd rather have some other players instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
