Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Jack Cichy
Summary

Lander Barton was thrust into Utah’s starting lineup as a true freshman in 2022 and looked destined for a breakout career. Three years later, the former Pac-12 Freshman Defensive Player of the Year never earned an All-Conference nod. Given how natural he looked moonlighting at tight end last fall, Barton’s best position may not even be on the defensive side of the ball.

About
  • 2025: All-Big 12 Honorable Mention
  • 2025: 6 receptions, 44 yards, 1 receiving TD
Strengths
  • Graceful athlete in space; even saw snaps at tight end last fall.
  • NFL bloodlines with two older brothers who’ve reached the league.
  • Versatile body with a long wingspan to handle multiple linebacker roles.
Weaknesses
  • Lacks finishing juice as a tackler; slips off ball carriers.
  • Below-average range by NFL standards.
  • Phone-booth agility leaves something to be desired when working around blocks.
