This
set of ranks will be set up a bit different just because there are not stats
for offensive linemen, I’ll leave the full table for each but talk about my top
5 at each position. Tackle is a lot like the rest of the skill positions with the
top of group all having flaws, however interior is loaded with a half dozen
being good to very good prospects.
Note:
A
quick reminder, the grades are on the 20-80 scale stolen from baseball scouting
and the grade groups are Starter (S), Expected Starter (ES), Potential Starter
(PS), Backup (B), and Undrafted Free Agent (UDFA).
Tackles
Let’s
start with the elephant in the ranks Jonah Williams. He’s good but there are
some spots that worry me in what I watched. The championship game wasn’t as bad
as it’s’ been made out by some, but it wasn’t what you’d call a positive he had
problems with inside counters and against that elite competition wasn’t as
strong at the point of attack as you’d like. I don’t think he moves inside but
I think he’s a high floor/low ceiling prospect. The top three are all different
players with Taylor being the best mix of agility and power but was played on the
right side of the line by Florida, Little moves well in space and can maul when
need be but wasn’t asked to as much as Taylor, while Dillard is the best, and
most experience, pass blocker in the draft but was rarely asked to run block
under head coach Mike Leach. Lastly, is Mitch Hyatt, who like Williams is a
solid player who should be at worst a non-liability for a line at the next
level.

Guards
This
guard class fun (Yeah, I know relative term)!! It’s tough to separate Haynes
and Lindstrom I liked Haynes’ “Fuck You” a bit more than Lindstrom’s but they
are both high quality guards. Jordan got bull rushed a bit too much for my taste,
Froholdt is lesser known but I loved the way he handled Alabama’s internal pressure
this season, and Nate Davis is a mover but needs to work on his anchor at the
next level.

rounds out an incredibly good top of the interior line class. Both Bradbury and
McCoy held their own against that ridiculous Clemson defensive front. Jenkins
was stout in the SEC but wasn’t quite as proficient as Bradbury and McCoy. And
both McGovern and Benzschawel are both versatile players who proved themselves week
in and out in the Big Ten.
