Josh Barrett, DS #2 SS, Arizona State

03/12/08 - The Cleveland Browns do not have a selection until the 23rd pick of the fourth-round in the upcoming NFL draft, but that hasn't stopped the team from compiling a wish list of prospects to bring in for visits. Looking to shore up a questionable secondary, the team is prepared to take action. The Browns are expected to have Arizona State safety Josh Barrett in for a visit later this month. Barrett is an intriguing prospect with a rare combination of size, speed and overall athleticism. Many NFL scouts are comparing him to Washington Redskins rookie safety LaRon Landry, who the team selected with the sixth overall pick in the '07 draft. Not certain if Barrett will be around when it is time for the Browns to make their selection because he is en fuego. - Carlos Holmes, Dayton Daily News

02/27/08 - Arizona State safety Josh Barrett struggled with injuries and inconsistent play in 2007, even being benched during his senior year. His 4.35-second 40-yard dash and other excellent test results put him back on the map as a top 100 pick. It will have teams running back to that 2006 film where he got himself on the map at ASU as an honorable mention All-Pac-10 selection (82 tackles, seven for loss and three picks). The question is, which player will appear in training camp next summer? Other top safeties performed well, starting with Notre Dame's Tom Zbikowski, who put up a solid 4.52 and showed fluid enough hips in drills to silence critics who believe he does not have the athleticism to play in the NFL. Quintin Demps from UTEP also backed up the closing speed he showed on tape with a 4.4 40. - Chad Reuter, NFLDraftScout.com

a guy worth looking at in the 3rd. zbikowski will also be there, and morgan might be too.
