The Next Great Steeler OLB....

[hawaiiansteel]

Without knowing, that's got to be Bruce Davis. That was one horrible draft pick

right after we picked Bruce Davis in the 3rd round of the 2008 Draft the following players were selected by other teams:

Jermichael Finley TE
Cliff Avril OLB
Philip Wheeler OLB
Mario Manningham WR

I still can't shake the stink of UCLA OLB past...give me another decade or two before we go back to that well...

It might be completely unfair to Barr, but as soon as I saw UCLA, all I could think of was Bruce Davis.

Maybe, the next great Steeler OLB is already on the team, just sayin...

Is that how you pick out books to read....by their cover?

Personally I think Barr should return to UCLA for his senior year. But he is a totally different type of athlete than Bruce Davis. Davis was limited. Barr has a much higher ceiling. If you look at guys like Aldon Smith I believe Barr's ceiling is somewhere near that. Same type of build and very similar athletically.
