Barwin Adds Another Visit

Scout.com has been told that University of Cincinnati DE/TE Connor Barwin has an official visit scheduled with the New England Patriots on Friday, March 29-30, according to a source.

The visit signals a strong level of interest from New England, since they also held a private workout with Barwin on March 10.

Barwin's already had an official visit with the Buffalo Bills in March, but he has four visits planned for April already. He'll kick off his road trips with the Kansas City Chiefs on April 1st and 2nd, then he's off to Tennessee to meet with the Titans on the 5th and 6th. Then it's off to Jacksonville for a visit on the 12th and 13th followed by the Rams on the 15th and 16th.

The more I watch and read about this kid, the more I want him to suit up for the Chiefs.

The more hear about him, the more I think KC is going to tradedown to pick up a 2nd round pick plus change at the mid to bottom end of the 1st to get Barwin.

I think he has a lot of upside, but there is absolutely no way he goes in the first round.

Just depending how he interviews, I can definitely see him going into the bottom end of the 1st round.

I think there's a chance.

If we were to trade with the Eagles for instance, that 28 spot would be somewhere he could go.

or if the Jets sell us their soul if Stafford is available.

Jerry Reese loves potential. I don't think there's any chance he makes it by the Giants. And if he does I wouldn't be shocked to see the Steelers take him. The Ravens would also probably be interested. I'd make a small bet he doesn't make it to the 2nd if anyone's interested.

Im curious...What makes you think The Chiefs are wanting to trade down to select Barwin? Hes an interesting kid, but why do you think KC is that interested in him besides the fact that we will be interviewing him.

private workouts with an interview indicates a strong interest , fits the Pioli profile he is looking for, and can be had later down othe round while obtaining more picks.

I would love having him, hes a high risk, high reward player IMO. But the Risk is likely worth the chance. I just dont like that he has only had 1 year as a defense player. He reminds me a lot of Mike Vrabel actually. Barwin could play TE in the redzone much like Vrabel does. And he could end up being a good rush off the edge type player.

I'm sorry, most of us don't speak Spanish.

And for the record, Champ, Vrabel was a late third round selection.

Nice comparison.

most of us dont speak douchebag either, but we put up with you.

It doesnt matter when Vrabel was drafted, im talking about Barwins projected NFL skills. Ive seen my fair share of Barwin, and he is very much like Vrabel. Even all the "experts" will tell you Barwin is a lot like Vrabel, and ive seen some call him a "Vrabel clone". Somebody needs to block you from the draft forum until you learn a thing or two about the players in this years draft.

Barwin is probably the best big athlete in the draft. He has the potential to be the best player in the draft. But can he play up to his ability? That's the question. He's raw.
