Connor Barwin, DE (Probably OLB in our scheme)

Only started playing DE his senior year and put up great stats (after playing 3 seasons at TE). He is extremely athletic and extremely versatile.

Buzz during combine:

http://www.draftcountdown.com/features/ScoutingCombine/Buzz.php

Everyone was waiting for those pass rusher hybrids to hit the field this morning and for the most part they did not disappoint. In fact, Lawrence Sidbury of Richmond (4.64), Connor Barwin of Cincinnati (4.66), Brian Orakpo of Texas (4.70), Everette Brown of Florida St. (4.73) and Michael Johnson of Georgia Tech (4.75) turned in this year's five best defensive line forty times. Barwin was also extremely impressive in the positional drills and test well all-around.

This guy seems like a Belichick-Patriots-type LB with tons of upside. If he's that gifted only playing one year of DE....just think of the possibilities.

He's been a big riser in this years combine and I really liked him.

I want him depending on who we draft in the 1st. If we already have an OLB, I'd prefer to take a player along one of the lines. If we haven't, he could be a great player. He's a bit rough, but with a little coaching, I see him becoming a pretty good OLB.

Some highlights. He reminds me of Mike Vrabel....maybe because he played TE too.

Wow, I just found an article comparing the two:

http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/2009/02/the_next_mike_v.html

"The obvious thing that I think is that I am, if not [the best], one of the best athletes in this draft," said Barwin, who played two years of college basketball for the Bearcats as well. "I don't know too many guys that can compare their value with what I can do. I think right away no matter what situation I'm in, I'm going to contribute on special teams, which I hear from every NFL team is a huge concern. I know a lot of guys that are here haven't played special teams, but I've played them throughout my whole career."

I like his attitude too. He plays special teams too? Ted Thompson has to be foaming at the mouth for this kid.

Does he mind getting hit? I don't want to draft Vernon Gholston 2.0

Connor would be an excellent choice in round 2 as I'll guess he won't last into the 3rd rd. Depends on where Mike McCarthy & Ted Thompson and the coaches decide to place their priorities; I hope it's on the defensive side of the ball this year and Ted Thompson doesn't make another B.S. move such as Harrell again. GB has had way too many none performers from first round drafted players. I always expect a first rounder to perform well first year. Not outstanding but well.
