And we trade it.

Pick was traded to the Bears.

I would have liked Skov or Christain Jones right there.

Any word on what we got in the trade?

 

[MrDoc420]

Looks like we traded out of the 4th all together....still not sure what for.

And we don't have a pick in the 5th?

Our 4th and 7th rounder for the Bears 5th this year and next. Kinda a head scratcher on the reasoning behind that.

 

[BroncoInCALI]

I'm just guessing all their 4th Round grades were already off the board.......

Same thing I am thinking and according to the value chart, we gained 31% by this trade. /shrug.

At this point, Caleb Lavey, MLB, Okla. St. looks pretty good. He might fit that 3rd down role that the defense needs help with.

Lamin Barrow

rated 6th out of the 111 LBers in the draft. Good athlete, good in pass coverage, good tackler. Not the fastest but does ok in space.

I like the pick.

I like the pick.

Reports say he is explosive and plays way faster than his 40 time. Interesting, and apparently ranked by some higher than ILB's already taken.

WalterFootball.com: 2014 NFL Draft: Inside Linebacker Rankings

According to this, Barrow has the fastest 40 of all inside LBs.

Lamin Barrow, ILB/OLB, LSU
Height: 6-1. Weight: 237.
40 Time: 4.64.
Projected Round (2014): 3-5.

5/5/14: Barrow totaled 91 tackles with 4.5 tackles for a loss and two passes defended in 2013. He wasn't impressive against Alabama, but played better against Texas A&M and Iowa. Barrow didn't get a lot of acclaim, but he played well at the Senior Bowl and was impressive in practice. Barrow was solid at the Combine.

8/14/13: While players like Barkevious Mingo, Eric Reid and Kevin Minter received the most attention last year, Barrow had an impressive season in his own right. The junior totaled 104 tackles with 7.5 tackles for a loss, five passes broken up and one forced fumble. He was a backup to Ryan Baker in 2011 and only made 17 tackles for the season.

Barrow is a tough run-defender and could be better in 2013 with his year of experience. He needs to show the ability to be good linebacker in pass coverage. Barrow also needs to add weight to be a middle linebacker in the NFL, otherwise he should move to the outside.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I am thinking his size (weight) could be a problem. May need to bulk up to effectively play inside.

Looks like a great value pick.

Corey Nelson, OLB, Oklahoma
Height: 6-1. Weight: 230.
Projected 40 Time: 4.60.
Projected Round (2014): 6-FA.
5/5/14: Nelson's 2013 season ended early with a torn pectoral muscle. The senior would be ranked higher if he hadn't been injured. Prior to the injury, Nelson played well for the Sooners. He recorded 27 tackles with three tackles for a loss, one interception, one pass broken up and a sack in his abbreviated year. Nelson didn't participate in the Combine, but he was impressive at the Sooners' pro day and has gained a lot of weight.

8/14/13: Nelson is a linebacker/safety tweener. He broke into the starting lineup as a sophomore in 2011 and totaled 60 tackles with 8.5 tackles for a loss and 5.5 sacks. Nelson had 47 tackles with 3.5 tackles for a loss, one sack and two passes broken up last year. The Sooners have lost a lot of defensive talent over the past two years, so they need the senior to step up in 2013.

Last pick. Not bad. Good draft imo.
