Lamin Barrow Highlights

[omahaBroncoFan]

lol. Highlight video for him includes him missing a tackle at :41

[JrtheFreak]

Most of this tackles are as the ball carrier is already passed him... not many head-on tackles. Not good... that's at least 3 yards he's giving up on every side tackle.

[Pruke]

He's also vey coachable. Important to reaching that potential.

These same guys that say X is better than Y or Z was a bad pick are the ones who have day jobs and kids to feed before they can even look into who we should draft.

I trust the guys who evaluate these guys as a means to feed their kids. The same guys who got us Danny Trevathan in the sixth...

Or Scouts Inc ESPN NFL.com NFLDRAFTSCOUT.com CBSSports.com Walterfootball.com or half a dozen other sites that were high on the guy and none of which had him even coming out of the 5th round (some had him going in the 3rd or 4th)

So sounds like we picked right on the money...I like the pick personally but there is always going to be some arm chair wanna be who thinks he knows better than the FO and absolutely hates the pick.

how does a 5th round pick become a reach?

Because he was a 5th rounder on nearly every major scouting report but his name wasnt Tripp or Mosley so people have to be upset.

Man football is a conservative sport, but you guys need to get off the FO's Jock for the most part..
This was a needless reach, with many superior developmental/convert mike's still on the board..
The kid covers and wraps up like he's playing flag football.

Again, you're an armchair GM who thinks he can scout linebackers better than John Elway, John Fox, and Jack Del Rio.

My opinion isn't higher valued than yours at this point, but neither of our opinions match what happens in real life. Especially when the guys you're questioning have more than a dozen games of film on players you've just watched on YouTube...

Tripp does have good athleticism and did impress scouts at the Senior Bowl but take it from me he did not get tested nearly as much as Barrow did so yeah I think the fact hes faster and lengthier then Tripp while facing better competition on a consistent basis does make him a better candidate too. Few have his combo of speed and length and his incredible range.

Hes was rated a 5th round draft pick by nearly every major scout ive seen so its a good pick in a good spot, yes Tripp was a highly touted player with his coverage skills but hes not as highly touted of a leader and he rarely faced as good of competition so there is nothing wrong with this pick.

Barrow is a Fox pick.

@MaseDenver: Elway: Fox "made about 18 laps around the room" while hoping that Lamin Barrow would fall to the Broncos in the fifth round.

[BroncoooJohnson]

Better than Jordan Tripp??

Uh, OK......

There is some of that mean nasty we've been missing! Kid looks like real vocal leader on D. Awesome seeing him getting everyone fired up pregame in the huddle. That's something we've lacked since Dawk retired honestly.

Elway's slowly but surely building a contender on this defense. The clear message is being sent that we were too soft last year and that stops now!

Yep Ild prefer Bradford as far as leadership though that fight he had on the sidelines trying to rile up his teammates concerned me a bit and is why he dropped in the first place. Though as far as ILB's with coverage ability go he was next on my list

I like it; hard hitting run stopper, bringing more "attitude" on D
