I'm hoping for the best like everyone else. I didn't know the player so I read Brugler's write up and I came away feeling meh.

But I'm now seeing the Cowboys will be using him more at LB so hopefully those flaws Brugler mentioned will be diminished.

If it makes you feel better all the draft media types had him ranked in the 60's or so.
 
It was interesting watching this because in 2024 he was mostly used as a traditional off-ball LB, so seeing him make plays from those alignments in a traditional downhill thumping MLB type way was good to see.

His explosiveness and physicality coming downhill reminds me of Overshown, although the Baun comps make perfect sense given the sort of role they have in mind for him.

I think Barham might be sort of a litmus test for how good of a DC Parker actually is, because there are examples of guys like him being extremely valuable around the league but it's usually in a particular role and often times under one of the better defensive minds in the league. I'm sure Parker has the right sort of role in mind giving his experience with Baun in Philly, but whether or not he can make it come to life when he's calling the shots remains to be seen.
