Yes, I’m still at my self-appointed spot as driver of the Graham Barton hype train, with a ticket to ride on JPJ’s. Mansfield to Webster to Dawson to Hartings to Pouncey. I want a center!
And no, I haven’t abandoned my station. But I have a rule against too much duplication in these mocks; I’ve chosen Barton at 1:20 already; I’m going to do it again in the future; and there is a prospect who actually fits the stereotypes people use in the Barton discussion. An equivalent Round 1 talent who spent most of 2022 and 2023 alongside Barton on the draft prognosticator lists like a sort of dual star, orbiting gravitational unit.
