Zimmer will find a use for him. Like how he used James Harrison with Cinci? Simmer down now!

Damn, how do you pass over CJ Moseley for Anthony Barr? :wallbang: I knew the Vikings were going to #### up again and they prove me right again.

If they did, they were the only one, and it was long ago.

I'm happy with it. We need some athleticism at LB. Zimmer was made coach to be a hands on molding player kind of guy. This could be great.

Raw. Not overly physical. Not very technically sound, not necessarily a natural fit in a 4-3. But, in Zimmer we trust.

I'll be amazed if he's a week one starter. This is a long term pick. I hope. :confused:

Mayock talked about him playing DE in rotation w/ Everson and Robison.

Barr's the one guy that I didn't really think deserved a top 10 ranking. The one silver lining with him is he's still moldable and Zimmer must feel like he can work with him.

But atleast we didn't get Manziel. Which means there's a chance we can get McCarron tomorrow. :)

Definitely. LB has been a big disappointment for many years so they needed to get a playmaker in there. I'm confident that Zimmer will turn him into something special.

Nailed it on the Barr prediction. He's huge, has tons of room to get bigger, and he's a huge hitter. I thought he was the most overlooked prospect in this entire process. IMO he's going to be better than Mack. We're going to have a HUGE front seven.
