NFL Media’s Lance Zierlein writes that Utah T Jackson Barton’s “poor pad level coupled with his height is a combination that will be difficult to survive (anywhere on the pro line).”
“He’s tough and has adequate strength to battle for position as a run blocker, but NFL opponents are sure to take advantage of his lack of leverage and his issues against inside moves and rush counters,” Zierlein notes of the 6-foot-7, 310-pound Barton. Helping matters none, the Utah product’s combine was a less-than-sparkly one, with Barton posting a composite SPARQ score landing him in just the 31st percentile of NFL offensive linemen.
