Barnett is undersized and won't hold up against the run. He is strictly a pass rush specialist as a rookie. He is only 259 pounds, and watching video of his Pro Day, he's carrying a lot of bad weight around his midsection. I don't know if he can put on enough muscle mass to be a 3 down player.
With Thomas, we usually move Atkins to NT and slide a DE in at UT on obvious passing downs, anyways. Thomas can slide down and we can bring in Clarke st RDE.
Spot on about both players. Solomon would be a 3 down End for us if we needed him to be immediately.
Barnett wouldn't, simple as that. But we are needing a pass rush specialist so i would be fine with Barnett.
