Scouting Report: Strengths
- Barton consistently plays beyond the whistle. He has good enough feet to hold his own in pass protection, particularly when factoring in his effort.
- Fires out of his stance with a good pad level, consistently winning at the point of attack.
- In the run game, Barton explodes off the line of scrimmage and consistently gets out to the second level to do damage.
- Hand placement is excellent, and he shows a good understanding of angles when climbing upfield
- Has the football IQ to handle setting protections at the line of scrimmage, and he displays excellent instincts and awareness after the snap, effectively adjusting to twists and stunts
- Barton does a nice job working with teammates to build the pocket, anchoring against bull rushers and displaying good awareness against stunts and twists.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Often simply tries to push pass rushers past the pocket. Barton can also look a bit hesitant when it comes to recognizing and reacting to twists, stunts and blitzes up front.
- Attacks when necessary, though Barton won't consistently dominate and can lose balance overextending.
- While he’s solid as an athlete, he’s more comfortable moving forward as a run blocker than setting in pass protection, as he too often relies solely on his initial punch to stand up pass rushers instead of moving his feet.
