02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Barksdale projects best in a power run scheme that values physical, phone-booth blockers over athletic, zone-scheme technicians.

Right TackleSwing Tackle
Best role

As a rookie, he projects as a backup RT with the potential to develop into a starting right tackle by his second year.

Wrong fit

He would struggle in a pure outside zone blocking scheme due to his limited lateral agility and inconsistent footwork in space.

Barksdale is a powerful run blocker with a good frame, but his athleticism limits his versatility to specific schemes.

04The evaluation

Selected #92 overall in Round 3 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Oakland Raiders out of LSU.
