The 1st two picks give us crazy flexability to do just that. The more athletic, flexable guys the better.

There are many comments that first thoughts were to compare Barwin with Jason Babin. But wouldn't Antwan Peek be a better comparison?

Yes, if Peek was a high character guy that loved football, weighed 256 lbs and ran a sub 4.5 40 yard dash who excelled in his first year on the defensive side of the ball.
