Iam, tell us about this guy.

He is fast and has good hands. I don't know how he will translate, but with the proper coaching he could be good.

I dunno why I like this kid, but I do.

With the right coaching Barrett could possibly be a good backup for dak.

Iam, tell us about this guy.

I remember seeing a game where he made some spectacular catches and was told by Iam that he was going to be a stud. But then I guess he never developed from there.

I know I shouldn't but I love this dude. I think the Cowboys are pretty excited about his role as a true NT.

I doubt he plays more than 25% or so of the snaps, and I don't think he's very talented athletically, but at the end of the day he's big as shit and seems to take pride in playing his role, so he should be a decent enough roleplayer.

I knew that his stats if you extrapolated them out over a normal season were pretty impressive but I just read that he actually led the PAC-12 in receiving yards last season, so pretty impressive production to go with ideal size/athletic testing. I don't think he plays as fast as his 40 time implies but for a 5th round pick that's nitpicking.

I freely admit I didn't know jack nor squat about him before the draft. But the instant we drafted him, he became one of my favorite draft picks and a pet cat. That's how desperate I am for a fat body in the middle of this run defense.

It's his attitude about what he does, it's his production and yes we have been craving a big ass DT for so long It's nice to finally have one. Even if he is really just our base defense NT.

Well the good thing is, "big as shit" CAN be very effective in the position he is playing. I am thrilled we got someone that is actually built to play that position instead of trying to force a square peg in a round hole.

Bohanna is the first step to having a credible interior defense, someone like him is kind of the bare minimum when it comes to run-stuffing DT's. The next step is to actually find a true impact DT who is both stout against the run and credible as a pass-rusher.

I think guys like Gallimore/Hill might be ok starters, good rotational guys at the worst, but we still need to find an actual impact player in there unless one of those guys takes a monumental leap.

Our top needs next year will most likely be DL (edge, DT, whatever), S, and OL as a somewhat unknown variable. If Smith or Collins have another serious injury or Biadasz doesn't work out those positions could skyrocket to the very top of the list.

At the very least we should know that LB, CB, WR, QB and RB won't be serious considerations high in the draft unless it's an unlikely Lamb-type situation.

It's his attitude about what he does

Yep. Who knows, we don't really know these guys, but I really liked his interviews. He seems like a good ol' country kid who loves football. I didn't detect anything about wishing he'd been a basketball player or talking only about the money aspect. Seems like he really enjoys playing in the mud and keeping the LBs behind him clean.

Plus his frame seems like it has a lot of potential. Once they push him in the weight room I bet he plays at a not-even-that-fat 345 or more.

Hmm. Would have preferred him at SAM

Well he went from Kingsbury offense to the crap we have now. He can make some crazy catches but I wouldnt expect much from him.

He had shit at QB in college. So, some of that wasn't on him. The dude had extremely good hands, and with the right coaching could be a decent piece on Sundays.

Same here. I didn't know anything about him but after reading up on him and understanding what his role will probably be with this defense, it feels like we got a nice late-round steal.
