I would say it's less about winning lane and more about who will survive the lane, get equal farm, and be more useful lategame.

I could see Morgana working out well, as she can push him back preventing him from roaming, and if she hits black shield right before he jumps, while not preventing damage, it will prevent the silence, allowing her to trade a q -> w (which won't miss at melee range) and potentially even ult to kill him in return. She's also rather tanky as a mid.

Anivia might work if she doesn't get man handled and abused constantly in lane, she can push him back, has her egg to help her survive, and is definitly more useful lategame imo. Not sure if she could withstand constant talon combo's however.

Graga's is rather tanky, has some minor sustain, can push and harass him back. I think i've actually played this lane, it's relatively hard to kill Graga's as you have to wait for his rage buff to go away (for the damage reduction to end) in order to burst him, and even then, if you don't he will simply farm with barrel, he can also use the barrel to zone by simply placing it in the middle of the wave, if Talon goes to last hit, he detonates the barrel.

TL:DR If you can make it a farmlane w/ pushing, it beats Talon endgame.
