Didnt think it was possible for our defense to get any worse…
There wont be any Barrons in the 4th or 6th rd..thats for sure. SMH
---------
Cheap young player on one of the leagues worst defenses…
Even Revis didn’t look good in Tampa…
Jameis Winston will have weapons on offense though… kinda.
---------
Never, ever draft “in the box” safeties in the top 10 of the draft. Not in today’s NFL.
--------
another alabama bust. there’s a long line.
so much for saban getting them ready for the nfl.
---------
Good get for the Rams if they didn’t go higher than a 2nd rd pick. Think the other side of the ball is the bigger issue.
---------
Harrison Smith ended up being the best Safety from that draft class.
The Minnesota Vikings never make draft mistakes.

Christian Ponder.

Let the fire sale begin!
---------
Could be worse Bucbros….you could’ve traded up to get Mo Claiborne at 6 (ironically his wonderlic score).
---------
I guess in this day and age draft “busts” at safety average 90 tackles and 2 picks a year.
Barron is a solid safety and will do well in St. Louis

Huge bust. I remember this guy was supposed to be a Hall of Famer when we came out. The scouts were wrong AGAIN!
---------
“Jameis Winston will get the coach that drafts him fired in one year.”
Here’s hoping.
Sincerely,
Tampa fans.

And Mark was overheard as he boarded a plane to St. Lou saying under his breath “Thank you, Lord”.
----------
I don’t know why the Bears didn’t jump on this. Their safeties are the worst in the league and it’s not even close.
----------
That should get the Rams at least to the playoffs if not further.
---------
TB is a bad team, and Lovie just does not have enough love for the Bucs. Sorry, but glad for Barron to be rid of a team with such baggage.
---------
Still young. Great pick up for the Rams. Fisher hasn’t done much with their 4th round picks in the draft anyway.

Never let the facts get in the way of your viewpoint eh?
“Barron, the No. 7 overall pick in 2012, has three interceptions, two sacks and 177 tackles in 37 NFL starts. This season, according to Pro Football Focus’ metrics, he’d allowed 16 catches in 23 targets for 173 yards and a 91.4 opposing quarterback rating. He had no sacks, hits, or hurries this year.”
----------
He had 88 combined tackles (solos plus assists) in each of the 2012 & 2013 seasons.
He had 2 interceptions in 2013 & 1 interception in 2012.
Those are facts.
