Scouting Report:

Bartell may not be in his prime anymore, but he’s still a solid starter in the NFL. Has tremendous experience, with 65 career starts, all with the St. Louis Rams. Bartell only played in one game in 2011, sidelined with a season-ending neck injury. Has an excellent size for the position, with long arms and decent overall speed. A seasoned veteran, Bartell makes a good job in press coverage and re-routing receivers, but lacks elite ball skills. Had a solid but almost unnoticed career with a Rams team who lacked competitiveness.
