He doesnt have the explosiveness you want as your primary pass rusher and it was confirmed with his weak broad jump and vertical.
I dont understand why people want to make him into something that he's not. He's a 43 DE with average to below average athleticism.
If you want to stand him up in a 34, then you asking for a bust. I'll gladly eat crow if im wrong but i doubt it.

I'll trust Bill Polian on which drills are most important for a pass rusher. BP 3-cone is the telling drill, and in the 3-cone Barnett knocked it out of the park with a 6.96.
I don't think that Barnett will be either a bust or a star. His lack of pass rush moves is what's most disturbing. That can be coached, but it doesn't mean that he can develop those moves either.
Bottom line, give me Harris over Barnett, but I won't be pissed with a Barnett pick either.
