& worthy of top 10 pick. I'm biased because Barron was my favorite player, but I think he makes multiple Pro Bowls.

Draft's hottest prospect: Mark Barron's worth a top-10 pick | NFL.com

With the 2012 NFL Draft right around the corner, no prospect is hotter than Mark Barron. Charley Casserly explains why the well-rounded Alabama safety is worth a top-10 selection next week.

His stock is going through the roof, a good safety is a huge asset and Barron is best of breed this year.

When you look at actual film of Barron and not just highlights, you see how amazing he really was.

I think Mayock took him to number 7 overall in terms of just player ranking. He will not get to that spot on any mock draft but the kid is an incredible football player and pro prospect.

As TEs start getting more action, elite safeties will become almost as important as corners.

Good stuff from Charlie Casserly here. Some team will be getting a special player.

Smart man. RBs also in the passing game.
This is especially true for a guy that tackles like Barron. He gives NOTHING in terms of yards after contact to TE or RBs. Just ferocious when he locks on.

If anyone remembers that pass break up in the end zone versus Miss. St.---I swear he can literally levitate and fly.

I don't care for Todd McShay but he said yesterday that Barron was a Top 10 player as well. Most of the teams in the top 10 don't need a safety though.
Simply the best

I keep thinking that after Richardson it will be Barron and then Hightower with the best NFL careers. I wish my Seahwaks would wake up and take Donta.

31-3 in the 4th quarter and Barron just lays out for a ball. The guy is a stud. Top 15 lock.

Yep. Saban's word. I guarantee you behind the scenes Saban's recommendation is carrying weight. He loved Barron.

Piss off!! Donta has already been claimed on just about every mock draft by the Steelers, therefore we called him first. Find your own LB!

Oh, yeah. No doubt CNS loves him some Barron. He likes Menzie a lot, too. I feel sure he's recommending the heck out of him to GMs and scouts.

^^^^^This! Donta will be in the black and gold. Man, I'd love to see Barron there as well. Steelers need him.

Kiper just said the Eagles would be wise to trade up ahead of Dallas to get Barron as opposed to Fletcher Cox. I don't care for the Eagles, but oh, well. McShay disagrees and rates Cox ahead of Barron.

McShay would rate "Cox" ahead of most things.

I know casserly knows his stuff but he doesnt like upshaw as a prospect much. In fact, he doesnt even project him as a first rounder. Thats insane.....upshaw is a beast.

I know. He puts Upshaw down every chance he gets. I like Casserly, too, but he's way off base on Upshaw. He is a 1st Rd lock.
