re: Saints are sitting pretty for an impact defender at #11

I go...

1. Barnett
2. Foster
3. Adams
4. Tim Williams

As it is today you can't say that for certain like you can for others.

Barnett is a top 10 lock

Truth.

Barnett > Garrett

Garrett maybe the most physically gifted end in the draft but he isn't that much more gifted than Barnett.

Two things stick out when watching these two play. Garrett has speed, power & flexibility of an elite pass rusher. With that said, at times he can be over powered when teams run right at him. Many of his TFLs come from backside pursuit when teams run away from him. Stamina also seems like an issue for him. You can see him a lot of times gasping for air, hands on hips during games & having to "take plays off."

Barnett on the other hand is relentless, play after play. There are no plays off with him & no stamina issues. He has all the pass rushing techniques mastered. If a tackle takes the outside swim move away, he goes to the inside dip & rip which then sets up his power bull rush. Run at him, it's a problem. Ran away from him, he will track a RB down. Barnett has no weaknesses. He is the real deal & an immediate impact player on day one.
