His pass-rushing abilities make him a potential first-rounder however, there are several questions he'll have to tackle as a professional. His game is heavily based on his athleticism, but his average performance at the Combine suggests Barnett could be unable to compete with a better class of offensive linemen who are in the pros. Madden NFL 23 Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah may have said it best when it comes barnett's prospects.
"(Barnett) isn't equipped with an elite burst, the explosiveness that you'd want to see in an edge-rusher," he said in the Move the Sticks podcast. "I was around Terrell Suggs for a short time with the Ravens, and he's another one who didn't perform all that well. But Suggs was a whiz when you got on the football field. I'm guessing you'll see some similar things in Barnett. He's not at that Suggs level However, I think there's a great chance to be a double-digit tackle player in the near future."
A positive point is his performance when compared to SEC competitors. Barnett has a habit of beginning slow in Tennessee, though he typically put his best performances in important conference matches -- and the most effective offensive lines the Volunteers could face. Even though an Alabama lineup is a far cry from an Madden NFL 23 team however, it's still an encouraging sign.
What will Barnett need to do in order to succeed in the Eagles?
He'll need to improve his speed-rush strategy while adding a few new wrinkles to compete with Madden NFL 23 offensive linemen. In SB Nation's Stephen White points out that an improved inside movewhether that's kicking tackles forward and then working the gap, or creating a spin to redirect his speed towards the pocket after his first couple of steps will make him a nightmare to the blockers in front of him.
In the present the smart tackles are able to cheat considering that his preferred strategy is to break the edge. The addition of a equally powerful inside rush will take that advantage away -- and increase the speed of his rush and speed rush in the process.
There are numerous elite pass rushers in the NFL, and the cost for their output is very high. Chandler Jones signed a five-year, $83.5 million deal to stay in Arizona this offseason. Jason Pierre-Paul renewed his contract with the Giants for six million dollars over four years. Barnett who is still a rookie in contrast, could have a salary in the range of $10 million-12 million over the first two seasons of his pro career.
This is a bargain if his powerful speed rush holds up against Madden NFL 23 tackles.
Barnett was one of one of the most efficient linemen from Tennessee, and that's including Reggie White, a Hall of induction. Now , the Eagles would like to see him play at least a small fraction of that in the .
Christian McCaffrey adds an explosive energy to the Panthers offense.
