Kevin Barnes might be a beast undercover

gw0103 · 04-26-2009, 08:45 PM

Have you ever seen this dude play???? well if you haven't, let me fill u in... the dude is a hitting machine!!!! the guy hunts and destroys in the secondary at will and i guarantee he will give the corners we have a run for their roster spots. the guy is a natural hitter, just like SEAN TAYLOR, but not as physically gifted because there will never be another #21. this guy is a linebacker at corner that will rock a few worlds when it's all said and done. on top of that, we lucked up getting a ball-hawk that delivers the spear to WR and RB alike...
GREAT PICK!!!!!!

Hopefully some NFC East foes get sandwiched between him and Dirty 30.

SFREDSKIN · 04-26-2009, 08:58 PM

From a couple of top 100 draft prospect lists he's ranked as the 61st best pick, good pick.

The Goat · 04-26-2009, 09:34 PM

I like this...sounds like a smart pick and hopefully the guy stays healthy and develops into a stud.

SirClintonPortis · 04-26-2009, 09:38 PM

One or some of the "expert(s)" said he was projected as a 1st rounder before getting injured. He may be a real steal.

If he does turn out to be a head hunter then great. It would be awesome if he does and we go get Taylor Mays next year in the draft to supplement his physical play. Mays has been considered the next S. Taylor at Safety. A head hunter himself. We would be awesome in the secondary to add to our D line strength. When Wynn and Daniels' one year tenured contracts are up, We could move Orakpo to permanent DE to fill the gap then go after O linemen and LB in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Believe it or not we have all of our picks next year. We mayu be able to get compensatory picks also.

Yeah, Barnes is a striker. Dude can smack you. What got me was that Cal game. Oh man, hopefully he comes in and does some damage.

GMScud · 04-26-2009, 10:16 PM

Why does everyone think he's such a big hitter? Oh yeah, that one play in that one game.

One of the knocks on him is poor run support, and despite the one hit against Cal that everyone is drooling over, apparently he wasn't a very physical tacker. And that was before fracturing his shoulder.

I think he's a good player, but I think too many people are making assumptions from one play that showed run support and big hitting - two of his weaknesses apparently.

he needs to beef up a little. I haven't seen him play much. Do you guys anticipate he'll be able to keep his quickness/speed and add 8-10 pounds?

I don't see why not as long as he keeps training well. He's got the type of frame that still needs some filling out it appears.

I saw him play a lot, and he's a good player. the Terps were particularly very physical during the Cal game, and maybe people are blowing that out of proportion (shit, for once people are blowing something positive out proportion though, so I'm fine with that). Maryland has produced some very good defensive player drafted in the later rounds, Domonique Foxworth comes to mind, a low round CB that has turned out to be a good starter in the league. Madieu Williams is another, I think he was drafted in the mid to lower rounds and is a pretty good starter.

tdSKINS1 · 04-27-2009, 01:26 AM

I'm a huge Virginia Tech fan and follow the ACC very closely. Yes Barnes is solid and can pop you but come on haha your talking about him as if he is Sean Taylor????? You have got to be kidding. He has one good hit against Cal. God knows i hope he is a steal and a stud. But it doesn't matter we should have got the CB from Vanderbilt. Barnes draft grade was 70 the Vandy guy 87. Lets not get to crazy about this guy yet.

I was at that Cal game...oh my! I just remember Best lying on the ground puking up green gatorade after that one hit

Crash · 04-27-2009, 10:34 AM

I was at the Cal game too and all of Byrd Stadium let out a collective OHHHHHHH, when he laid that hit

I'm a Maryland fan so I may be biased. I think he probably would have graded higher if he hadn't missed half the season. I am very happy with this pick, Barnes isn't afraid to go lay a hit on a RB, he has great speed and jumping ability & he doesn't drop easy interceptions.
