I want Anthony Barr soooo bad

Barr is all potential. It's hard for me to get all that excited when he doesn't have multiple moves or a great understanding of pass rush angles. You're projecting that he will vastly improve and while he has all the potential you could want I think he's risky. I'd take Mack over him (also think Mack has a better chance of falling due to schemes of teams above us).

I knew I must not have been the only one not that impressed with Barr's tape. Now sliding down media boards. Ahead of the curve I am. Just like Shariff Floyd last year. I watched their film and I didn't get the hype. Barr still has a high ceiling and a first rounder but Mack is a much better prospect.

Barr has a perfect combination of size (6'4, 248, long arms) and athleticism to play OLB in a 3-4. Very good agility and explosiveness. Will possibly run under 4.5. Point being don't be so enamored with tape on a guy (13.5 and 10.0 sacks the last two years by the way) who was a running back three years ago. I still see more there than we had with guys like Mingo last season. Sure he will need to develop some additional pass rush moves and learn how to play with better leverage but he is going to shine as a weak side OLB and pass rusher. He is almost the spitting image of DeMarcus Ware when he came out.

He's a top notch prospect but people get carried away with thinking he's some sort of fail safe pass rusher. He has a lot of room for improvement as a player. I like him but he's a project, not a home run.

Never liked Mingo. Ware was a much more rounded OLB prospect. He was from a small school but he had all the skills you could want.

The thing that is comforting about Barr is that we have Spanos. We have all the insight we could want - if we pick him I'd think Spanos vouched for him.
