OFFENSIVE TACKLES
Weak draft at the top for OT but there is starter level talent available throughout if you want to dig and have the staff to develop.
Antonio Garcia, Troy - Top 60 Tier
Could wind up the best OT in the draft. Quick feet that stay properly spaced and create a great base. ++ knee and ankle bend. Super active and accurate hands. Can really uncoil and jolt defenders. Drives feet once locked on in the run game. Smooth to the second level. Shortish arms and needs to add overall bulk to help him anchor better.

Levon Myers, Northern Illinois - Top 120 tier
Ultra aggressive. Quick set-up to wall off defenders and active feet to mirror. Machine guns his hands at exposed areas to control defender movement. Plays a bit high but I didn't see it play out as a negative except that he gets bent back a bit at times when he anchors vs a bull rush.
GUARDS
Corey Levin, Chattanooga - Top 120 tier
As good as some of the top OGs. Compact build and tough to move. Strong hands but he fires them low (coached) with a slight windup (not-coached). Allows defenders to beat him to the punch at times. Consistently gains control of defenders breastplate and is tough to get away from. Ability to control, slide, and move defenders in pass protection. More of a wall in the run game, not a body mover. Moves well on pulls but needs to gear down when he finds a target, sometimes overruns them.
Jermaine Eluemunor, Texas A&M - Top 120 tier
Played RT, can't survive out there. Big body with lots of power. Limited knee bend. Explosive in tight spaces. Can attack second level. Has some nasty to him.
Aviante Collins, TCU - Top 120 tier
Outstanding on the move. Easily tracks and destroys second level defenders. Needs bulk to anchor but has a bunch of power in his hands. Nasty
CENTERS
J.J. Dielman, Utah - Top 120 tier
Was the leader on an extremely talented oline at Utah. Switched to center to help the team and started to show well and then got injured. Great length, strength, and smarts for the position.
Erik Magnuson, Michigan - Top 120 tier
Can play every position except LT. Center would be a great spot. Smart brawler type who wins with technique and effort. Not a + athlete.
TacklesI've stated my like for Sam Tevi and Andreas Knappe.
Andreas Knappe, UCONN - is a great pass blocker and is very patient in letting the edge get to him. He will be 26 by the time the season starts, so he would be a steal if he goes undrafted, though I think some team would be wise to grab him.
Sam Tevi, Utah - Good footwork, gets the job done, but doesn't wow you really. Probably develop into a solid starter with some time, and it looks like he's starting to climb up boards.
GuardsFred Zerblis, Colorado State - Takes good angles and gets to the second level efficiently. Does a great job of recognizing stunts and twists and excels in holding up his blocks. Was capable of playing in both zone and gap schemes, so he's not limited to a specific scheme.
Jake Eldrenkamp, Washington - Improved his passing blocking and is physical at the point of attack. Really good at pulling and creating big plays when doing so, but his two worst games last year were against Alabama and USC, so can he play against better competition?
CentersChase Roullier, Wyoming - Played both the Guard and C position, so that's a plus for versatility. Doesn't lose often and is very powerful moving players where he wants them to go. Can play in zone and gap schemes, but isn't overly athletic and playing in the Mountain West will raise concerns at the next level. But seriously, this guy is incredible at moving other players and I would be very happy if the Rams grabbed him later than any of the other centers.
Leo Koloamatangi, Hawaii - This is the Greg Robinson of the center position, in that I mean he has a ton of upside. He also played center and guard, also one game at LT as well. Moves well, good run blocker, and has the tools that need to refined in the NFL. His power and athleticism are at the top of the class and if he can focus on one position rather than playing multiple all the time, he could develop into quite the player.
