Anthony Barr, LB, UCLA

UPDATE: UCLA linebacker prospect Anthony Barr has opted to return to the Bruins for his final year of eligibility. He previously projected as a possible second round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Barr formerly played wide receiver in his first two seasons at UCLA. He came on strong as a junior in 2012, being named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year. Barr likely projects as a hybrid DE/OLB. His great length and lean frame should fill out nicely in the next few years. For now, he would need time to add bulk to be a 4-3 DE, but given his experience as a receiver, he can excel in coverage as a 3-4 OLB.

His draft stock has really climbed in the last few weeks after finishing the regular season with 74 total tackles and 13.5 sacks.

While he is explosive off the edge, there are some concerns about his run defense. At a thin 235 lbs., he will need to add at least 20 more pounds of good weight. His long, almost TE-type frame should allow for this over time but it remains a short-term concern. Given that he has opted to return to UCLA for his senior year, he will definitely find himself in the conversation as one of the top players available in the 2014 NFL Draft.
