Didn't recall that he'd tested so well
The Old Dark Navy's, his draft highlights really didn't show much in the way of pace.
That said much happier to look at him as a DFA, rather than as leverage in the trade that went down.
Barrett sounds like a younger version of Mark Whiley....who we just delisted.
indeed he does.
perhaps why he wasnt included in the trade is that we wish to rookie him.
Not the same kind of player at all really, at least not the Whiley we had with hamstring problems.
More like Mitch Grigg, though apparently a smidge quicker (though the people saying Grigg is slow are probably relying on his combine times, which were incorrectly timed due to an equipment error, along with a few others including Sidebottom).
He was a zone selection.
Try as I might, I can't find any recorded details on how those selections worked, but presumably they got him for a token late pick outside the normal workings of the draft.
Yup, that's how they worked. If you instead wanted to rookie them, you had to let them enter the ND first.
