NFL.com news: Draft's hottest prospect: Mark Barron's worth a top-10 pick
Sorry to do this, I know he's controversial but I'm still holding on to a desperate hope that we trade up for him.
Which means, if BB thinks the same, at 13 or 14, he represents decent value.

Rated lower than Barron:
• Earl Thomas, 2010 draft, 14th pick (Seattle): Not as good a tackler.
• LaRon Landry, 2007 draft, sixth pick (Washington): Not as stout in man-to-man coverage.
• Michael Huff, 2006 draft, seventh pick (Oakland): Not as physical.
• Donte Whitner, 2006 draft, eighth pick (Buffalo): Barron rates better in all phases of the game.
• Sean Taylor 2004 draft, fifth pick (Washington): Not as smooth in the hips, could not cover as well.
In scouting for the draft, you compare prospects to previous players taken in a round to decide what value to put on them. This is how I arrive at my thinking: Mark Barron is worth a top-10 pick.
