PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Graham Barton is a versatile and experienced offensive lineman who has shown proficiency in both run blocking and pass protection. He excels in a zone-based run scheme due to his good quickness, hand placement, and ability to sustain and steer blocks. His play strength and competitive toughness suggest he could transition well to guard or center in a multiple run scheme. However, his pass protection skills, particularly against twists and stunts, need refinement. His ability to deal with space on an island at tackle is somewhat shaky due to his arm length and inconsistent strike timing.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
High-End Starter Potential (65-69)
A high-end starter potential prospect is a player who is projected to be among the top starters on their team within the second or third year in the NFL. They have good physical tools and athleticism and perform at a high level most of the time. They have some weaknesses, but they are not significant. These players are typically second or third-round picks, and they have the potential to be starters in the league.
