Barmore is 6'4 310- way too big for a 4-3 de.I think Barmore can be used on the end to penetrate - let's plug the middle.
If youre talking about 3-4 de(which is basically the same thing as a 4-3 dt) his size is good- similar to Seymour, but hes not going to be edge-rushing. In a 3-4 the olbs are the edge-rushers. I assume you were talking about him as an outside rusher not an interior rusher. Hes way too big for that. Plus youre removing him from his biggest strength- which is interior rushing and pushing the pocket.
Granted his runstopping was inconsistent but hes a rookie. This kid is gonna be a stud. His runstopping will improve. I think the Pats need to add a better nt/fatty to pair alongside him. Nobody on the current roster does that well. I noticed you asked this question in another thread and mentioned Wilfork. Big Vince was a 3-4 de which is dimilar to 4-3 dt. He never played on the edge. Vince was very versatile as theres not many who could play nt and 3-4 de and be outstanding at both runstopping 2gapping and also interior passrushing pocketpushing. He did em all very well. Seymour could do this as well but didnt play a lot of nt.
Theres a thread up.now that covers a lot of ground on nts and dts in both the draft and fa/trades. I know @BGC,@Username and a few others have some good info on this.
