It happened last year too, either the limit for posts has to be expanded or we'll never get a full draft in 1 thread.

I almost took this player in the 4th, and never expected he would still be available here. The Panthers are very thin at QB with the release of Delhomme and look to upgrade the position here. This guy is very raw, and will have a ton to learn, but he has a good amount of upside. If he can learn to run a pro style offense, then he can be a starting QB in this league. He will need to sit for at least two seasons, which should be enough time for the Matt Moore experiment to run it's course. With their sixth round pick, the Panthers select Jarrett Brown, QB, West Virginia.

Well, there's still a guy on the board that I think can come in and contribute to a team pretty quickly. Honestly I figured he would've been drafted by now. And I'm not going to even bother with a write up because I think everyone here is familiar with him anyways.
The Seattle Seahawks select Clay Harbor FB/TE Missouri State. |

I'm shocked that everyone is shocked that their selections are still on the board.

If Barnes works out, you've got a #2 WR in Massaquoi, and a slot guy to go along with C.J. Spiller. Could be a dynamic offense if you just add a QB and get a #1 WR.

You guys know how I feel about Freddie. I made it a point not to draft him in this draft to see where you guys had him rated. This kid is a hit and Cleveland would do well to draft him, any team would.

Yea don't forget I drafted Dorin Dickerson too. They traded Quinn after I made most of these moves. I didn't really have a chance at a franchise QB in this draft anyway.

A last minute change of plans moved the drills outside, which had a detrimental effect on Barnes' showing. "I had to run home and get my cleats, which kind of messed with my preparation. My legs felt heavy, and my start time I was slipping on the field," Barnes said. Not only did Barnes have to run home and get his cleats, but he also had to adjust from Astro Turf, which he had been working out on over the past two months, to field turf which is a "much different surface." The difference in the surface was visible during Barnes' 40-yard dash, something he needed a strong showing in, as speed has been the biggest question surrounding the wide out. "Some guys clocked me around mid-4.6, last week; I was running a lot better, so I was real disappointed with that," Barnes said. While Barnes struggled during physical tests, he improved his showing during the position drills where he hauled in passes from quarterback Tyler Sheehan and was tested on his route running ability. "He did well. He struggled a bit at first, but when it came time to run routes he did well and impressed the scouts," Sheehan said. In front of scouts from 15 different NFL teams, Barnes ran fades, slants and almost every other variety of routes showing his consistent hands and playmaker ability. "They love my hands and like me as a receiver," Barnes said. "People now just want to see me run." With the NFL draft a little over a month away on April 22, Barnes has already gotten strong feelings from several teams, particularly Detroit, Kansas City, Indianapolis and Cincinnati. "A lot of teams need receivers, so we'll see," Barnes said. If Barnes is drafted on April 22, he'll already be somewhat prepared for life as a professional athlete thanks to his close friend Julian Wright. Wright, a forward for the NBA's New Orleans Hornets, has been friends with Barnes since they were both in high school, and has been giving his friend advice during the pre-draft process. "I've actually talked to him about it, he's a better person than he is basketball player and I have no problem asking him for advice," Barnes said. "It's pretty cool to have a best friend in the NBA." With his success in his senior year and during this past off-season, Barnes is hoping that soon Wright will have a best friend in the NFL.

To be honest I don't care what Barnes runs dude knows how to catch the ball and if he can do it on third downs he'll be a valuable WR.

I just thought it was an interesting article. I've said all along he could be a Bobby Engram type player.
