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.
