Of the three choices you've given me, let me start by saying that none of the three are outstanding linebackers.

Barrow is probably the best linebacker in terms of being able to make plays in all aspects of the game. But he does not excel at any of them.

Trotter can't cover a corpse. But he is a solid tackler and a guy who will not give up on a play. He makes too many mental mistakes for a MLB.

Mitchell seemed to have lost a step at the end of last year. He never had great speed to begin with so that makes him the most suspect one on this mediocre list.

Now you have to factor in what they cost you in terms of cap room. On that scale, Trotter is at the bottom and Barrow would probably be in the middle bewcause he'll command a signing bonus and Mitchell would be on top because he does not cost much.
