"There were a few teams at pro day. I met with a few scouts," Barnett said. "I met with the Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, and Arizona Cardinals at pro day."
Barnett is projected as a late-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. While the 49ers currently do not hold selections beyond the fourth round, he could remain an option as an undrafted free agent if he goes unselected.
The 49ers are widely expected to address the offensive line during the 2026 NFL Draft. Key needs include competition for a starting left guard, along with long-term successors at offensive tackle and center.
Barnett (6-3, 316) spent five seasons at Wyoming, appearing in 47 games for the Cowboys. He primarily played offensive tackle early in his career before transitioning to guard for his final season.
The offensive lineman impressed at his pro day, turning in a performance that included a 5.05-second 40-time and a 31-inch vertical jump.
Barnett earned career-best marks from Pro Football Focus in 2024, posting an 80.0 overall grade, along with 82.0 in run blocking and 70.4 in pass protection. Those figures declined slightly in 2025, when he recorded an overall grade of 71.3, a run-blocking grade of 73.2, and a pass-blocking grade of 65.8.
In 2025, Barnett started all 12 games at right guard, logging 792 offensive snaps. He allowed just one sack, 18 total pressures, and was flagged for four penalties over the course of the season.
