Fans run Mock Draft Simulator at Pro Football Focus Most often they send defensive at the back of Texas Jahdae Barron to Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2025 project.
Barron, who played defense for Longhorns, positions No. 9. A general player both on Big Board and the 50 best leaves of potential customers for Daniel Jeremiah from NFL Media.
Barron would be a good “value” through the board, and Packers – who choose in 23rd place in the first round – need a corner.
From PFF: “Barron transfers versatility and physicality to secondary, with the possibility of playing anywhere in the defensive facilities. He has the strength to lose blocks and make equipment for running, along with the speed of closing to disrupt the game within range. “
Barron intercepted five passes and did not allow the covering of over 541 snaps of covering in 2024, for PFF. According to classes, Barron developed within both zones as well as as a defender. He forced 11 incompleteness while playing a defender, in threat, and in a box as a hybrid linebacker/security.
Jeremiah called Barron a “Swiss military knife” and said that he was comparable to the defensive Brian Branch Lions Pro Bowl.
Packers could take advantage of the competition in the peripheral collision, especially if Jaire Alexander does not return in 2025, and a player like Barron can immediately compete for snaps in the nest.
From the Packers Wire Draft Burn Rupp analyst:
Barron played everywhere in second place for Longhorns. In 2023 he was perhaps one of the best corners in the country in the country. Last season he played primarily on the border and did it at a high level. He led SEC in capture and playing the ball like a wide receiver. He has an explosion of a driving that came before the ball and shows great route instincts. He is a physical descent defender and remains balanced as a breeder. You can connect it anywhere in second place and he will play.
Barron (5-11, 200) played almost 2,000 total defensive snaps for Texas in the last three seasons. Some believe that Barron may have potential as a nickel/security at the NFL level, although Packers already have this type of player in the second round in 2024 Javon Bullard.
