Yes I have noticed that and comment in another thread where Barwin's name keeps being brought up by the haters?? You would think they would handle it in a way we could discuss it but I guess they all have nothing. I wish I could read a thread without someone trying to bash Barwin instead of actually offering something intelligent to the conversation
.But no Barwin groupies where saying anything, he keeps being brought up by the other "Faction" and it is getting tiresome. The guys who like Barwin have already presented thier case in other threads and have done so better then other prospects who have been talked about. It is these little childish jabs by others about Barwin which I find pathetic. Everyone has they own guys just like you have Mathews and you have defended you point. Heck I like Malauga and have presented my case and it was talked about. Not me just acting like a kid trying to post on a site
Everyone does not say anything about Aaron Maybin being a first round guy and he has just one good year of production. Maybin took full advantage of his starting role this season, having tallied 49 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, and even breaking up 3 passes in coverage. These stats kinda remind me of Barwin and Barwin is like a Swiss Army Knife as someone put and could play multiple positions for us and save roster spots. This is why he is going to be considered in the first round not to mention his measureables.
Clay Mathews is interesting but really do not see him falling to us at #23 but I really would not mind having him. He also does not have that much field time in College maybe played less then Barwin this year and did not have his stats. There are so many factors which going into picking in the first round and none of us really know how the Pats are doing in the off season and what BB is thinking. It will be interesting to see how BB handles this draft without Pioli??
I suspect Matthews is gone to a 4-3 team before that, I know I'd pull the trigger on him if I was Houston or NO or Buffalo. He'd be an excellent Sam or Will for one of those or similar teams. He'd be a good fit for San Diego, their 3-4 plays much differently and would love his speed off the edge. I don't see him as a strong candidate for NE's 3-4, he'd be every bit as long a conversion project as Barwin, with less upside. Heck, let's get dirty and look at numbers again, 15 pounds heavier Barwin has as good if not better quickness and explosion numbers, I'd like to see Matthews 10 split, broad jump, and vertical if he can pack on another 15 pounds and redo them.
