Barwin (6'4" 254lbs) is comparable to the Vikings' Brian Robison (6'3" 259lbs) as a pass-rushing specialist [the Vikings drafted him in the 4th round]. Perhaps he could bulk up to Trent Cole or Dwight Freeney status (269lbs). We just have to make sure that he didn't lose his quickness since that was the reason we drafted him in the first place. He is supposed to complement Antonio Smith. Now, if we aren't happy with 1st and 2nd down, then we should be drafting a kid like Everson Griffen or Corey Wootton.
