Totally depends on what defensive scheme you're running. If you blitz a lot (like in a 3-4 base or even a blitz-heavy 4-3 like Denver uses) you want to keep Barr at OLB. If you run coverage defense and rely on your D-Line to get pressure (like the traditional 4-3 Cover 2) you need great pass rushers at DE and LBs that can cover, so you could switch Barr to RE in that scenario (RE usually being the lighter, speedy DE in a 4-3 as he plays the weak-side, the LE has to be decent vs the run as he's on the strong-side).
