McShay's Insider Mock post Combine
4 replies
not sure if we're allowed to post Insider articles, but I'll paraphrase
25 - Fins - Connor Barwin, OLB, Cincinatti
says he is shooting up draft boards due to his versatility and strong showing at Senior Bowl and Combined
players he has being taken the five spots prior to us: Clay Matthews, Chris Wells, Peria Jerry, Brian Cushing, Louis Delmas
and the rest of the draft following us: Alphonso Smith, Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Pettigrew, James Laurinaitis, Robert Ayers, Knowshown Moreno, Eben Britton
Suck for Luck
Cries and Moans for Landry Jones
Thinking Darkly for Matt Barkley
Stink Like a Turd for Robert Griffin 3rd
Quit Succeedin' get Brandon Weeden
DisgustipateSupporterHe's a project, at the end of the day. He's got great physical ability, but no experience at all and needs to develop better pass rushing moves.
ConuficusLuxury BoxWhilst his versatility is important, the fact his ceiling may be lower than some of the other convert players may hold him back. Whilst a good athlete, he is not explosive and thus IMO will slip to round 2 compared to others.
FrayserForum VeteranI like him at #44. Think he would be a reach in the 1st.

Can you tell us what other rush linebackers are on the board when he has us taking Barwin? Because Barwin over English, Sintim, etc. is outrageously comical.
he has English has the 9th best player not taken in the first round
(he gives a laundry list of the top 20 players still on the board after r1)
Sintim isn't on that list
