Biggest needs per NFL.com: EDGE, S, CB, C, WR
Analysis: I know you’re probably none too pleased with me for not drafting an edge rusher. But, if you’re not going to get an edge rusher — why not acquire one of the most versatile and impactful members of the secondary in this class. Don’t believe me? Here’s what Daniel Jeremiah wrote about Barron in his Top 50 ranking.
“Barron is a talented Swiss Army Knife. He aligned outside, in the slot and in the box as a dime linebacker for the Longhorns. He made impact plays in every game I studied.”
I don’t know about you, but this sounds like a player the Falcons could very much use. As I wrote in our Mailbox this week, the re-signing of Mike Hughes doesn’t mean the Falcons can’t — or won’t — go after another cornerback. Barron is a player you can plug-and-play in multiple spots according to what you need from him at any given moment. That’s a game-changer for this secondary, which already has the likes of A.J. Terrell, Jessie Bates III, Hughes and (most recently reported) Jordan Fuller. Barron could be the missing piece.
