    Is a top 10 pick in one mock draft for 2017

    He's also considered the #2 draft eligible defensive end by Walterfootball.com

    I guess it really depends on scheme, but I'm taking him over Garrett.

    He could legitimately challenge for the sack record.

    Yeah, Garrett may make a better 3-4 OLB

    I'm just looking forward to seeing him in Shoop's defense as opposed to playing for a coordinator that continually dropped him into coverage on obvious passing downs last year.

    Nope. Doubled and chipped everywhere, unless those tackles get really nasty. They could, but that position takes time.

    Barnett is one of many(more than 5) I can't wait to see this coming fall of the defensive side of the ball. I read our roster and realize we've got some ****ing talent again. It's been far too long.
    Two things that I hope is that Shoop is the real deal and if so, butch stays the **** out of his way and let's him run the D.

    And I hope Lyle stays out of the offensive meetings as well. Just stand there on the sidelines and call recruits.

    He's had 9 and 10 last two years. I expect him to at least approach double digits again. Breaking the record might not be likely, but I think he will be within reach.

    If he stays out of those meeting then how's he gonna educate them fellas? Infallible Norris, IN-****ING-FALLIBLE!

    Apparently Kongbo is up to 280. Will be interesting to see if he plays inside on passing downs.

    It will be interesting to see what all they do with the dlinemen they have.

    Barnett, McKenzie, Tuttle and Kongbo backed up by Phillips, Vickers, O'Brien and Vereen.

    Taylor has been impressive as a rusher and Lewis is a solid de.

    Just imagine Barnett, Kongbo, Phillips and Vereen on 3rd and long

    Quay Picou is one I'm curious about as well.

    And a DC known for going after the QB in that situation.

    Barnett and Phillips would drop into coverage.

    No reason to be outside it. Top 10 talent and a better coach.
