Julian High School in Montgomery, Alabama, before he committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide.After his first three seasons at Alabama, Barnes would transfer to Colorado to play under Deion Sanders and earn more playing time, which he saw virtually none of in Alabama.Through his two years with Colorado, he would register five pressures with 14 stops for a tackle of three yards or fewer. Strengths81st percentile arm lengthPlayed at a considerably heavier weight, was listed at 340 pounds earlier - shows the ability to gain or lose weight and maintain his playStrong hands with pop as he makes initial contact with blockersCapable of playing along from 0-3 techniquesHolds double-teams well against the run, doesn’t get bullied out of the wayKeeps his eyes in the backfield while engaged with blockersOccasionally shows flashes as an initial block-shedderCeiling could be that of a legitimate rotational piece WeaknessesStruggled to crack the rotation in three years at Alabama before becoming a contributor at ColoradoTested more athletic than he actually plays24 years old as a rookie without much legitimate playing experienceNeeds to get his pad level lower at a more consistent rate - his height puts him at an immediate leverage disadvantageDoesn’t get his hands up to disrupt throwing lanes enoughLacks a pass-rush plan and when he does breaks moves out, they aren’t very effectiveDoesn’t know how to build off of movesSummaryBarnes was in a weird nose/defensive tackle hybrid situation where he isn’t consistent enough to be a pure nose and isn’t explosive enough to operate as a full-time 3-technique.With his size and power, versatility is a plus, but it’s not promising that he couldn’t earn playing time with a talented Alabama defensive line.He could eventually develop into a rotational player, but he’s an older prospect with little big-time playing experience and even fewer flashes as an impact player, so the likelihood of that is slim.GRADE: 5.4Nick Falato's Draft Grade Chart | Nick FalatoAdd us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
