Insane athlete. Perfect fit as a 3-4 OLB. No real place for him in the Bears D.
I'm sorry but there's no place for a freakish pass rusher in the bears D? There's a place for this kid in every defense in the national football league. Most, if not all, NFL defenses utilize their nickel package more so than their base D. With Stafford throwing for 4500+ yards every year and Rodgers being possibly the best passer in the NFL I think you're mistaken if you think Barr has no place on this team.
Let's not even mention that 100% of the info given to us this offeseason has either left the possibility open or pointed directly to the bears moving to a hybrid front. If that happens, he'd be basically the ideal for two different positions in the base defense. Those being, SAM linebacker (90%+ of this players responsibilities will mirror a 3-4 OLB) and the LEO defensive end.
He's not the perfect prospect but if a 6'6" 265lb pass rushing LB with good coverage skills running a 4.4 shows up at 14 you don't pass on him. Especially if that player has been projected top 5 by nearly every draftnik for the last 12 months. Especially especially if you're enamored with potential/athleticism in the top of the draft like Emery is. Especially especially especially if you 'reached' for the same type of player 2 years prior in the first, then followed it up with by drafting a inexperienced and raw prospect (Barr wasn't even a defender until 2 years ago) the year after with Long.
If Barr is there at 14, PE runs to the podium with his name on a card in one hand and the boner he's trying to hide/stifle in the other. It seems way to obvious based on the past.
