The latter are blue chips in the sense of being plug-in, day one starters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 Graham Barton as a "Blue Chip"??? I wouldn't personally take him in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's above average in both run blocking and pass blocking, but neither is "elite". He's got good agility for a guard. He's got poor hand usage, and against upper echelon pass rushers he struggles. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's bad. But he doesn't sniff "blue chip" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be an early Rd 2 guy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he doesn't sniff "blue chip" I mean...he's got "elite" athleticism, quickness, balance and movement skills in general for a G/C. He also has great awareness and recognition even if it's projection/translation from Tackle to the Interior. To go with great size for the position. That's not nothing. I wouldn't say "blue chip" per se. But he's on the fringes at least. The biggest thing that keeps him from being pure "blue chip" for me, is that he's a position change projection. That's always at least a small degree of risk. But he's played there before and he's looked completely natural there in the pre-draft process. Holding his work on the edge where he struggled against premiere pass rushers a little bit, at times, against him...well, that's not strictly relevant to what he'll be asked to do inside. So i'd kind toss that out because that's not what we're evaluating him to be. Nobody is saying he's anything like a blue chip OT prospect...or even an OT prospect at all. 😆 Edited April 11 by Tugboat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
