2. (46) Connor Barwin, DE
The Houston Texans reached a little bit in picking DE Connor Barwin in the 2nd round when most experts had him pegged for the 4th or 5th round. In his first three seasons at Cincinnati, Barwin has a TE but he excelled after converting to defense as a senior. Barwin played in 14 games (all starts) for the Bearcats last season and he made 53 tackles, had 16 tackles for a loss, had 11 sacks and he batted down 8 balls. Barwin is a tad small for DE at 6′3″, 253 but he’s fast (4.64 40). Barwin is raw but he has a nice upside.
