Lets not get to crazy about this guy yet.

I'm surprised that you, as a VT fan, didn't compare Barnes to Victor "Macho" Harris. I think that the two of them are similar. I just love the way both of them play the game all out all the time.

I assume the Skins graded Barnes higher because he is a little faster and a better leaper than Harris. I like the Barnes pick, but I would have been just as happy with Macho Harris.

Barnes is a very good player, although he hasn't played as many games as I would have liked. Also, I really believe that he needs to bulk up some to better protect himself against injury. Other than that, he has all the physical tools. The things I like most about him are his strong competitive desire and that fact that he is a ball hawk.

As for the Vandy guy, I don't like the idea of drafting a small corner. The WR's have gotten so big that a small CB has a greater disadvantage than ever before against them.
