    He had 115 tackles this year. That is a bust?

    In October he shifted to weak side OLB when Alec Ogletree was injured. His tackle stats are from playing LB. As a safety he's a bust. I want us to get a safety, not a 220 lb. 4-3 weak side OLB.

    He was a first round pick of Tampa Bay and did nothing with them, that's why I said he's a bust. I think Tampa traded him in his second year. I would still take Barron over Weddle for the right price.

    Now that I didn't know. Like I said, I hadn't watched him play much. I needed input. His numbers look good for that spot though.
