The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman released his ‘2024 NFL Draft confidential’ piece on Tuesday when scouts anonymously tell him how they feel about the best prospects in the draft.
Former Duke offensive lineman Graham Barton, a presumed first-round pick, was included in the breakdown of this year’s offensive line class, which could see 10 linemen drafted in the opening round. Feldman only included one quote from a single scout on the former Blue Devil; here’s what they had to say.
“He’s a neat prospect. He can play all over the line and I think he can be a great center. I think he’s tailor-made for a zone scheme team. Very intriguing. I do think he’s better inside than at tackle. I think he could play it if you need him to but the lack of length could get him in trouble out there.”
Barton is expected to be drafted in the mid-to-late range of the first round, anywhere from the 20th pick (Pittsburgh) to the 31st (San Francisco).
