I had a feeling we would reach a bit not having a 2nd or a 4th but, reading up on him he seems promising. I felt that we needed a CB before the draft.

I was also like 2 rows up from the field for that best hit...saw the whole play develop and the thing that impressd me was his ability to read and commit to the play. A fundamentally sound tackler with smarts is always a precious commodity at cb.

I don't think it's inconceivable to picture this guy being a starter for many years

Barnes' one injury was from a hit that tore up his shoulder and broke bones...first of all wow! Secondly, this doesn't seem like the kind of injury to really be a factor down the road for a CB. If it was anything leg, knee or ankle yes I'd be worried but basically the kid needs to heal up the shoulder and he can pick up where he left off.

...this just seems like a great pick.

Better version showing the puking after the hit. :D

Excited to have this guy on the team. He'll bulk up in our training program, since that's the one knock against him.
