Bucs rookie Graham Barton earns high marks in preseason debut

The Bucs’ first-round pick had a stellar performance in his first NFL preseason action, according to PFF

When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers spent their first-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft on Duke offensive lineman Graham Barton, they were hoping to get a pro-ready player who could make an immediate impact to upgrade the interior along the offensive trenches.

If his performance in last week’s preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals is any indication, the Bucs nailed their top selection.

Barton earned the highest grade of any 2024 first-round pick in last week’s full preseason slate across the league, according to Pro Football Focus.

Let’s hope Barton keeps up this high level of play heading into the regular season and beyond.
