Nice, never heard of him. A 4th/7th, for a 2012 1st rounder? I guess that's not a bad deal! Lets just hope he can tackle!

And here's the Panic Trade...



...and I actually kind of like it. Barron isn't going to be anyone flashy but he's a starter level player for the secondary. One of Alabama's 'can't miss' guys who...well...missed in TB. Should be physical enough to be a hybrid kind of player that would fit the system. Certainly not going to be a lockdown physical guy or anything.

The offense is still a trainwreck, though...

Don't know if this trade is worth it or not. He hasn't lived up to his hype so he definitely got traded to the right team. But is he worth a 4th round and a Michael Sam (7th round) I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

[BOSS429Mustang]

That name sounds familiar......oh no. Don't tell me this guy's Alex Barron's brother?? Or maybe his transgender sister???

 

[jacobarch]

I hope a change in scenery gives him a boost.

 

[Caynine29]

Meh... it's a lateral move, at best. Barron has been an underachiever in Tampa. We could have gotten a safety of his caliber in the 4th round of next year's draft, without giving up a 6th as well.

It's a pointless move, if ya ask me.

 

[SJ76]

HOLY SHIT WE GOT A THUMPER!!

Our FO finally pulled off a sweet deal for a top 15 pick and one helluva hitter for basically a 4th rounder? The way we draft??!! lol


HOLY SHIT that makes our safeties pretty sick. He needs to improve a bit in coverage, but like I said.. the boy can stick!

 

[jacobarch]

ya wait??? what about Mo Alexander? didn't draft a guy in the 4th round this year??? im fucking lost.

 

[SJ76]

Some of you are crazy, this guy will be a beast SS and TJ can play FS. He's a beast.

Wait and see. This boy hits like Ronnie Lott.

He was 2nd on TB in tackles if that tells you anything AND he comes to a much better D-line.

Did I mention he was an animal?

 

[jacobarch]

Well SJ I've come to the conclusion that Peyton Manning, Jerry Rice, Emmit Smith and Bruce Smith could come here and regress under this coaching staff.

 

[SJ76]

I agree with you Jacob. But it might be fun to watch 2 good safeties hittin people, I can guarantee you that.

If Trumaine can come back, along with Chris Long and our LB's improve... This D could get really good.

Another thing I can guarantee you is that WR's are going to be looking over their shoulders when going over the middle.

 

[Clayton]

I dont remember seeing Ronnie Lott when we played Tampa Bay earlier this year.


I will say that he might have been in the wrong system. Even Revis was kinda 'meh' in TB

 

[SJ76]

You will see some big fucking hits soon.

What has anyone seen in TB lately? And I said he hits like Lott... he's not Ronnie Lott. He will blow some people up.

Think about being a Tampa Bay fan? They have 2 stud safeties, but the rest on D?

I am stoked.

Tampa Bay has a good defense with holes. If you could combine TBs best defensive players and STL's best defensive players, youd have one heck of a unit.

This is about opportunity cost, though. Barron's upside is so much better than a 4th rounder

 

[Red_Chaos]

if SJ says its a good trade i guess i can live with it

 

[SJ76]

7th overall pick in the 2012 draft, national champion.. another young and talented player.

AND an upgrade at safety. It will be fun to watch these 2 safeties in the secondary. They could be quite the tandom.

And they way we draft..? lol what's a 4th and a 6th for that kind of talent?

 

[jacobarch]

we'll see SJ, he hasn't done shit yet. So lets not get too excited.

 

[icefreeze57]

I LOVE the move. The kid is a good player, I don't care what he did at Tampa stats wise. We need someone who can hit hard, and he's from Bama - the kid played against talented competition and EXCELLED! I think he can do the same in St. Louis. A defender like that (if he plays to his potential) could be a 10 year starter, not saying Barron will be, but he still has potential left in his tank. I'm excited.
