Offense Tier lists - After Day 1

April 24, 2020 09:27AM
So how I do this, is I group these guys that are similar in rating, and when there is a big enough discrepancy I create a new tier. So even if the TEs are a hot mess, they get a tier 1, tier 2 etc.

I will group all the offense in 1 post, and the defense in another.

QB: Tier 1

14. Joe Burrow - QB - LSU - 6'-3" 221 lbs. - Above average in most categories. Elite movement in and manipulation of the pocket makes him special. Prototypical size helps.

16. Tua Tagovailoa - QB - Alabama - 6'-0" 217 lbs. - Love his athletic ability, accuracy to all levels and competitiveness. Injury history drops him a slot.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 2:

26. Justin Herbert - QB - Oregon - 6'-6" 236 lbs. - Big kid, big arm. Needs to fix some mechanics involving his legs. I worry he isn't a natural leader.

36. Jordan Love - QB - Utah State - 6'-4" 224 lbs. - I don't get the Mahommes comp., He pressed bigtime this year and struggled. Big time athlete with big arm.
___________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 3:

69. Jacob Eason - QB - Washington - 6'-6" 231 lbs. - Biggest arm in the class, but is a statue and panics a little too easily for my taste.

77. Jake Fromm - QB - Georgia - 6'-2" 219 lbs. - Smartest QB in the draft, has a noodle for an arm and is a little on the small side.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 4:

98. Steven Montez - QB - Colorado - 6'-4" 231 lbs. - Big arm, all the tools, has just never put it all together.

105. Jalen Hurts - QB - Oklahoma - 6'-1" 221 lbs. - Athletic, alpha dog that has problems with seeing the whole field and accuracy issues. Needs to be coached up.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 5:

159. Anthony Gordan - QB - Washington State - 6'-2" 205 lbs. - Tough leader with an OK arm. Air Raid muddies the water, but he can manage a football team.

175. James Morgan - QB - FIU - 6'-4" 229 lbs. - A toolsy gunslinger with no fear. Not sure he has the tools above the neck to be a pro QB.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 6:

229. Cole McDonald - QB - Hawaii - 6'-3" 215 lbs. - An absolute howitzer of an arm. Good NFL size. A rhythm passer that loves getting the ball deep. Everything breaks down once he is off schedule.

240. Tyler Huntley - QB - Utah - 6'-1" 205 lbs. - A real athlete with the ball in his hands. Can scramble, throw on the run and generally work his way around in the pocket. Accuracy is OK. Pretty good arm strength. I don't think he can read a defense yet.

2 by 2 by 2. Funny how those tiers worked out. Tier 1 seem like longtime starters. Tier 2 have starter upside if they can be properly developed. The rest are all backups that could spot start and have an opportunity to start in time.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

RB Tier 1:

27. Jonathan Taylor - RB - Wisconsin - 5'-10" 226 lbs. - A workhorse back with HR speed and excellent vision. Pass catching is his worst trait, and its fine.

29. D'Andre Swift - RB - Georgia - 5'-8" 212 lbs. - Bellcow back with excellent footwork and balance, HR speed and can catch passes. Not a between the tackles type.

33. JK Dobbins - RB - Ohio State - 5'-9" 210 lbs. - Inside out back that can catch passes, extremely tough after first contact and can go the distance. I wish he was a tad bigger.

43. Clyde Edwards-Helaire - RB - LSU - 5'-7" 207 lbs. - An easy mover with a powerful lower half. May lack the size to handle a full NFL load.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 2:

57. Cam Akers - RB - Florida State - 5'-10" 217 lbs. - Another feature back buried on a horrible offense. Does a little of everything., but he's a downhill 1 cut style power back at his best.

74. Eno Benjamin - RB - Arizona State - 5'-9" 207 lbs. - Physical for his size, smooth lower half and can be slippery to tackle. Change of pace back only.

96. Zack Moss - RB - Utah - 5'-9" 223 lbs. - A big, bigtime power back with some wiggle to him. Hard to bring down. I like his footwork. Not a HR hitter and a 1 cut and go type back.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 3:

114. Lamical Perine - RB - Florida - 5'-11" 216 lbs. - A patient power back with just enough juice to get to the house. Enough wiggle to get outside, but is at his best working north to south.

119. Anthony McFarland - RB - Maryland - 5'-8" 208 lbs. - An undersized, raw talented HR threat from anywhere on the field. Not a 3 down guy.

123. Antonio Gibson - RB - Memphis - 6'-1" 223 lbs. - A wr/rb/do it all back with home run ability. Elusive with a bit of power. A jack of all trades, master of none.

128. AJ Dillon - RB - Boston College - 6'-0" 247 lbs. - A bigger bodied back with more speed than one would think. A gap power fit. Loses a lot when stretched out east to west.

135. Ke'Shawn Vaughn - RB - Vanderbilt - 5'-10" 214 lbs. - Decent vision with good balance and ok speed. Good pass catcher. Lacks wiggle and not explosive.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 4:

142. Joshua Kelley - RB - UCLA - 5'-11" 212 lbs. - Strong, tough with good balance and hard to bring down, but lacks wiggle and HR speed. A one cut and go type of back.

149. Darrynton Evans - RB - Appalachian State - 5'-10" 203 lbs. - Lightning in a bottle. His change of direction and lateral jump cuts will have defenders tackling air. HR speed. Narrow frame with little room for growth. Better outside then inside. OZS committee back.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 5:

188. - Patrick Taylor Jr. - RB - Memphis - 6'-1" 217 lbs. - big, powerful and hard to bring down. Not great feet and not very imaginative with the ball. Short yardage back IMO.

196. - Michael Warren II - RB - Cincinnati - 5'-9" 226 lbs. - Decent feet for his build (a bowling ball) with good power and contact balance. Not making you miss and isn't a HR hitter. Another short yardage back IMO.

200. Sewo Olonilua - RB - TCU - 6'-3" 232 lbs. - Another short yardage specialist. Not fast, quick or nimble. He is a load to bring down and will wear you out.

216. J.J. Taylor - RB - Arizona - 5'-5" 185 lbs. - Scat back with good receiving skills. Plays fater then he ran, but obviously not a between the tackles type.

217. James Robinson - RB - Illinois State - 5'-9" 219 lbs. - A hammer that did it all for ISU. Surprising speed can catch you off guard. not very shifty.

225. Salvon Ahmed - RB - Washington - 5'-11" 197 lbs. - Long speed despite what he ran at the combine. Decent wiggle in the open field. Due to size, a 3rd down back only. Lacks power and vision.

248. Darius Anderson - RB - TCU - 5'-10" 208 lbs. - A tough little runner with plenty of takeoff, lacks the top end to be a HR threat and lacks the size to be a between that tackles guy.

The top tier is better then last years top tier, and has a bunch of my personal favorites. If you are looking for a bellcow or a strong lead in a committee, then get one of those guys. Tier 2 thru 4 all have guys that fit different schemes specifically, and have a flaw (speed or size or injury, etc.) Tier 5 are all guys that can make a roster and help fit a role.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

WR Tier 1:

6. Jerry Jeudy - WR - Alabama - 6'-1" 193 lbs. - Excellent hands, excellent route runner and electric speed. Everything you want in a #1 WR.

8. CeeDee Lamb -WR - Oklahoma - 6'-2" 198 lbs. - a size/speed WR that is an absolute terror in the open field. Excellent hands are just the cherry on top. Could use some strength.

21. Laviska Shenault Jr. - WR - Colorado - 6'-1" 227 lbs. - A physical, workhorse that just punishes defenders in the open field. Injuries are a concern.

23. Henry Ruggs III - WR - Alabama - 5'-11" 188 lbs. - Here's your HR threat. a pure speed machine that won't wow you with his route running ability.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 2:

32. Tee Higgins - WR - Clemson - 6'-4" 216 lbs. - a highpoint, catch radius WR that wins at all levels of the field, but is at his best winning 50/50. Good, not great speed.


37. Justin Jefferson - WR - LSU - 6'-1" 202 lbs. - Good route runner, good hands, good speed, good blocker. Not explosive, but gets open, makes catches and scores.

40. Van Jefferson - WR - Florida - 6'-1" 200 lbs. - A route running technician, good hands and is OK in the open field. Not explosive and not what I would call a HR threat.

48. Jalen Reagor - WR - Arizona State - 5'-11' 206 lbs. - He's a jittery HR hitter that is electric deep or in the open field. His hands are iffy IMO, or he'd be higher on my list.

50. Donovan Peoples-Jones - WR - Michigan - 6'-2" 212 lbs. - Good hands and an excellent athlete. Underused in that woeful Mich. offense. He is more of a projection due to lack of production.

51. Denzel Mims - WR - Baylor - 6'-3" 207 lbs. - Big, strong with decent speed. He can go up and get it. A real 50/50 ball stud. Lacks any real route running.

58. K.J. Hamler - WR - Penn State - 5'-9" 178 lbs. - Electrifying. In the open field as dangerous as any WR in the draft. Hands can be iffy, and he is small, but a HR hitter and someone a defense needs to plan for.

62. Brandon Aiyuk - WR - Arizona State - 6'-0" 205 lbs. - Another big play waiting to happen. Can take the top off the defense and is slippery in the open field. Not a very nuanced route runner, hands are OK.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 3:

83. Chase Claypool - WR - Notre Dame - 6'-4" 238 lbs. - A big possession WR, that wins contested catches, 50-50 balls and is tough in the redzone. Tested better then he plays, but is still a great athlete.

89. Bryan Edwards - WR - South Carolina - 6'-3" 212 lbs. - He wins with his size and physicality in the middle of the field. Not a burner, but plays hard and smart.

110. Quartney Davis - WR - Texas A&M - 6'-1" 201 lbs. - A skilled route runner with excellent footwork. Not slow, but not exactly a deep threat. hands are spotty.

115. Collin Johnson - WR - Texas - 6'-6" 222 lbs. - Touted as the next Randy Moss, it didn't happen, but he has good speed, wins with his size and is a contested catch, 50-50 ball machine. Size mismatch.

117. Michael Pittman Jr. - WR - USC - 6'-4" 223 lbs - Another physical WR that is starting to put everything together. Not a burner, but a good athlete with a great work ethic. A big Robert Woods.

125. Tyler Johnson - WR - Minnesota - 6'-1" 206 lbs. - A nuanced route runner that knows how to get open. Plays with some physicality. I question his speed and he didn't run so...
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 4:

136. Quintez Cephus - WR - 6'-1" 202 lbs. - Wisconsin - Big strong physical. Good route runner that can get himself open. Lacks deep speed. Faced 2 counts of sexual assault, case was dismissed.

143. Lynn Bowden - WR - Kentucky - 5'-11" 204 lbs. - a gadget WR that can play RB and QB (wildcat) A real team guy that you will need to game plan to get the ball in his hands as he learns to be a slot WR.

145. K.J. Hill - WR - Ohio State - 6'-0" 196 lbs. - A good route runner with decent ability in the open field. Not a burner, but not a slug either.

148. Antonio Gandy-Golden - WR - Liberty - 6'-4" 223 lbs. - Crazy catches are littered throughout his highlights. Outstanding catch radius combined with flypaper hands make him a bigtime contested and 50-50 ball receiver. Not a great athlete or burner.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 5:

156. Isaiah Hodgins - WR - Oregon State - 6'-4" 210 lbs. - A good route runner for a man his size, good catch radius. Good hands. Not a deep threat.

162. Gabriel Davis - WR - UCF - 6'-2" 216 lbs. - Exciting athlete with decent speed and plays with a bit of an edge. hands are meh, and he didn't run a ton of different routes.

170. Devin Duvernay - WR - Texas - 5'-10" 200 lbs. - a speed demon that would rather run you over then around you. A RB in a WRs body. A smart OC can do alot of stuff with this kid. Small catch radius.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 6:

183. Binjimen Victor - WR - Ohio State - 6'-4" 198 lbs. - Another big catch radius guy with nice hands. Not a deep threat, but is kinda dangerous in the open field.

198. Aaron Parker - WR - Rhode Island - 6'-2" 209 lbs. - A good blend of physicality combines with his ability to go up and get it makes him a contested catch monster. He needs to develop his route running.

202. Joe Reed - WR - Virginia - 6'-0" 224 lbs. - A deep threat with good hands and can return in STs. Has some wiggle. Another gadget kid early as he learns to run routes properly.

207. Jauan Jennings - WR - Tennessee - 6'-3" 215 lbs. - A runaway beer truck in the open field. Tough to bring down. Slow play speed and ran a 4.74 so that matches what you see.

215. Stephen Guidry - WR - Mississippi State - 6'-3" 201 lbs. - Long with long arms and decent deep speed. Can go up and get it, or win over the top. Not a great route runner.

220. Tyrie Cleveland - WR - Florida - 6'-2" 209 lbs. - Long and fast. Never ran a diverse route tree, but he can eat up a DB in a hurry. Will need some development.

226. James Proche - WR - SMU - 5'-11" 201 lbs. - Natural hands and just catches everything. Smooth athlete, with great college production. Not a burner. Needs to work on route running.

230. Quez Watkins - WR - Southern Miss - 6'-0" 185 lbs. - Will take the top off a defense. No idea how to run a route, gets open from DBs being scared of being ran by. Electric in the open field. Needs to add some good weight.

239. Kalija Lipscomb - WR - Vanderbilt - 6'-0" 207 lbs. - Good route runner with reliable hands. Just an OK athlete and not a burner.

244. Freddie Swain - WR - Florida - 6'-0" 197 lbs. - Good athlete with good hands and good speed. Not a very nuanced route runner and lacked college production. Punt returner bonus.

Man that top tier is elite. The best value for this group is Tier 2. Simply because in any other year, they are probably tier 1s. Every tier has at least 1 to 2 guys guys I would love to see on the Rams roster. Some even more.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

TE Tier 1:

68. Brycen Hopkins - TE - Purdue - 6'-4" 245 lbs. - Your prototypical new age TE. A mismatch problem in the middle of the field that is a smooth, easy mover. Not an inline blocker, I worry a bit about his hands.

86. Albert Okwuegbunam - TE - Missouri - 6'-5" 258 lbs. - Big target with enough athletic ability to create issues in the seam. A decent and willing blocker inline. Offense and QB really slowed down his progression.

90. Thaddeus Moss - TE - LSU - 6'-2" 250 lbs. - Not the freakish athlete his dad was, but is a monster in the blocking game, is a nuanced route runner and knows how to get open. Competes hard.

93. Cole Kmet - TE - Notre Dame - 6'-6" 263 lbs. - Another size mismatch with decent athleticism. Should be a better blocker then he is. Good hands, decent route runner.

95. Adam Troutman - TE - Dayton - 6'-5" 255 lbs. - Exciting athlete that is new to being a TE. Extremely productive, but a raw skill set including route running. A plus blocker.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 2:

107. Hunter Bryant - TE - Washington - 6'-2" 248 lbs. - Smooth moving, explosive pass catcher. Offers nothing in the way of blocking and his size won't scare anyone.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 3:

134. Jared Pinkney - TE - Vanderbilt - 6'-4" 257 lbs. - Great hands, good athlete, good enough blocker to play inline. Needs to cleanup route running. Not a monster after the catch.

146. Colby Parkinson - TE - Stanford - 6'-7 252 lbs. - Big with a big wingspan, he will torture defenders in the middle of the field and the endzone. Not a great blocker and needs to get stronger.

151. Harrison Bryant - TE -Florida Atlantic - 6'-5" 243 lbs. - Athletic with good hands and is a good route runner. He isn't a blocker. His calling card is in the middle of the field.

155. Jacob Breeland - TE - Oregon - 6'-5" 252 lbs. - An average at best athlete, but plays with an edge and isn't afraid of contact. Good hands and can get deep. Decent inline blocker.

161. Josiah Deguara - TE - Cincinnati - 6'-2" 242 lbs. - Good inline blocker regardless his size, is also a good route runner and pass catcher. Not a tremendous athlete, but is first team try hard TE. A balanced TE.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 4:

180. Mitchell Wilcox- TE - South Florida - 6'-3" 247 lbs. - Hard working combo TE that had good production, but won't wow you as an athlete. I worry a bit about his hands.

195. Cheyenne O'Grady - TE - Arkansas - 6'-4" 253 lbs. - A natural pass catcher with good route running. A willing blocker, although it isn't a strength. Tough to bring down. His biggest issue is he was dismissed from the team for saying he was going to quit after the Bama game.

203. Stephen Sullivan - TE - LSU - 6'-5" 248 lbs. - Massive seam buster that got lost in the shuffle of an all star offense. Long, middle of the field mismatch. Not a tremendous blocker.

210. Devin Asiasi - TE - UCLA - 6'-3" 257 lbs. - a combo blocker/receiver with good size for the position. Needs technical work in all aspects. Developmental type traditional TE.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 5:

213. Dalton Keene - TE - Virginia Tech - 6'-4" 253 lbs. - Here is your late round, H-back, fullback, TE. He can block and catch but was never really given much opportunity. Decent athlete, but plays like an old school TE.

228. Sean McKeon - TE - Michigan - 6'-5" 242 lbs. - A combo TE that can block in line and be used as a pass catcher. Not the most dynamic route runner, or athlete, but he competes hard. Good 3rd TE for a roster.

235. Charlie Taumoepeau - TE - Portland State - 6'-2" 240 lbs. - Literally a move TE. He played H-back, RB, TE, WR for Portland State. So he can block and catch and be a nice depth piece. Nothing athletically extraordinary.

I've said it before, and I will say it again: this group is not good. Tier one starts around the 2nd half of round 2 and it just drops from there. Tier 1 has a guy for every fit. So I'm going to assume teams will move around to target the team fit for those early guys. After that there is good value to be found. Maybe there is a Kittle somewhere in this mess, my guess is Josiah Deguara.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

IOL Tier 1:

25. Cesar Ruiz - IOL - Michigan - 6'-3" 307 lbs. - Zone or man, excellent pass blocker, can play OG or OC. Best combo of size/strength and athletic ability in the IOL group. I like him as a Zone scheme OC.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 2:

45. Lloyd Cushenberry - IOL - LSU - 6'-3" 312 lbs. - Another OG/OC candidate. Strong and tough, not as mobile as the other top OCs. Really improved over the year.

54. Matt Hennessy - IOL - Temple - 6'-4" 307 lbs. - A OZS OC that is an excellent mover with great technique. Needs to get stronger, but IQ and skill set are outstanding. Reminds me of Garrett Bradbury.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 3:

64. Jonah Jackson - IOL - Ohio St. - 6'-3" 306 lbs. - A technician with decent strength that can play anywhere on the inside. Needs to be more consistent. Plays with an edge.


78. Robert Hunt - IOL - Louisiana-Lafayette - 6'-5" 323 lbs. - 2nd nastiest OG in the draft. He is a punisher. Needs to be a little more patient, but he will finish on all levels.

99. Logan Stenberg - IOL - Kentucky - 6'-6" 317 lbs. - Meanest, nastiest OG in the draft. Won't win on style points and will talk your ear off. Not a great athlete.

100. Tyler Biadasz - IOL - Wisconsin - 6'-4" 314 lbs. - OC for any scheme. Excellent mover with a great anchor and good strength. Off season hip surgery slowed him down last season. Followed by shoulder surgery this off season. Could be a heck of a steal.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 4:

120. Ben Bredeson - IOL - Michigan - 6'-5" 315 lbs. - A LG prospect I love that has played in Gap/man/OSZ at Mich so he is versatile. Decent mover with good balance and very good power that looks to finish blocks.

122. Damien Lewis - IOL - LSU - 6'-2" 327 lbs. - Aggressive and powerful, lacks the lateral movement skills to work in a zone scheme. Will overwhelm you in man power.

126. Netane Muti - IOL - Fresno St. - 6'-3" 315 lbs. - Skill set, power and movement ability should have him as the top IOL in the draft. he can flat out dominate. And looks to dominate you. Cannot stay healthy. Serious medical red flags.

131. Nick Harris - IOL - Washington - 6'-1" 302 lbs. - Smaller, smooth moving OC that lacks the power to go heads up against any kind of power. Good technique. Zone scheme only.

132. Shane Lemieux - IOL - Oregon - 6'-4" 310 lbs. - mauler, not an athlete. Choppy footwork. Works well in a man scheme.

141. Solomon Kindley - IOL - Georgia - 6'-3" 337 lbs. - Another mammoth Georgia lineman. A OG with beastly power that loves to use it. Again, needs a lot of technique work. His hand usage is a mess.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 5:

176. John Simpson - IOL - Clemson - 6'-4" 321 lbs. - A power blocker that can get over-extended at times, but will run you over. Lacks horizontal movement ability. Man power scheme fit.

181. Michael Onwenu - IOL - Michigan - 6'-3" 344 lbs. - An absolute tank in the trenches. Surprisingly decent footwork. Great power. Not a great mover. Man scheme.

192. Jake Hanson - IOL - Oregon - 6'-4" 303 lbs. - A zone scheme OC. A technician and good athlete, lacks the strength to trade power with defenders.

201. Kyle Murphy - IOL - Rhode Island - 6'-3" 316 lbs. - Overpowered FCS competition, needs to add size and power to do that at the NFL level. He's an easy mover with good footwork. Scheme versatile.

236. Darryl Williams - IOL - Mississippi State - 6'-2" 304 lbs. - A OG/OC prospect with decent power and good technique. Needs to add some power. A tad stiff movement wise. Developmental depth for a power blocking team.

This is a thin top end. Obviously by only 1 in the top tier. The value of this group is in tier 3 and 4. Everyone has an issue, but not enough of one to keep them from starting. Tier 5 is your developmental types.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

OT Tier 1:

5. Jedrick Wills - OT - Alabama - 6'-4" 312 lbs. - Played RT to protect a lefty QB. He can dominate you power wise and has plenty of juice to move, slide hit and rinse repeat. Oh and he is a technician as well as a mauler...

7. Tristan Wirfs - OT - Iowa - 6'-5" 320 lbs. - Some think he's an OG. They are wrong. Athletic and powerful with good technique. He can play either side and be a 10 year rock star.

10. Mekhi Becton - OT - Louisville - 6'-7" 357 lbs. - The Mountain. He is a physical rarity. He is fast, strong big and agile. Has had issues maintaining his weight in the past.

15. Andrew Thomas - OT - Georgia - 6'-5" 315 lbs. - Not the athlete the top 3 are, but if hands are on you, be prepared to eat dirt. Excellent hands combined with that power makes for a long day against the run.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 2:

39. Josh Jones - OT - Houston - 6'-5" 319 lbs. - Super athlete with great feet, decent anchor that would work best in a zone scheme. Not the dog the top 4 are, but still will get after it.

42. Austin Jackson - OT - USC - 6'-5" 322 lbs. - Lost time/strength due to helping his sister with a medical issue. He may need a year, but a full toolbox with a good balance of strength and agility.

44. Lucas Niang - OT - TCU - 6'-6" 315 lbs. - Another nice power/athletic combo blocker that plays with a nice edge. Injury slowed him some, and needs to get consistent.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 3:

72. Ben Bartch - OT - St. Johns (MN) - 6'-6" 309 lbs. - Small School prospect that held his own at Senior Bowl. TE turned OT. Athletic with a nice anchor, he needs seasoning. Arm length probably moves him inside.

75. Matt Peart - OT - Connecticut - 6'-7" 318 lbs. - An easy moving OT with decent strength that again, could use a year or 2 learning and adding power, but there is no denying the skills are there.

81. Prince Tega Wanogho - OT - Auburn - 6'-5" 308 lbs. - Surprise, an athletic, raw skilled LT from Auburn. He has elite tools, but needs a year learning and gaining strength.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 4:

94. Saahdiq Charles - OT - LSU - 6'-4" 321 lbs. - A smooth mover with good athleticism, but lacks power. A move inside might be in his future. zone scheme prospect.

102. Ezra Cleveland - OT - Boise State - 6'-6" 311 lbs. - Absolute athlete for his size/length. Real smooth mover with light feet. Needs to add strength and needs technique work. I'd say an OZS LT right now.

104. Isaiah Wilson - OT - Georgia - 6'-6" 350 lbs. - from the No duh file, dude is massive. An absolute mauler that is in desperate need of technique work. Right tackle.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 5:

147. Jack Driscoll - OT - Auburn - 6'-5" 306 lbs. - A smaller RT with a good athletic profile. In other words. Perfect for a zone scheme only. Needs to add power and some technique work.

154. Hakeem Adeniji - OT - Kansas - 6'-4" 302 lbs. - Another smaller LT that moves well and could slide into a zone scheme easily. needs to add power.

166. Terence Steele - OT - Texas Tech - 6'-6" 312 lbs. - Great hands and a powerful upper body, needs some sand in his pants. More of a man blocking guy, as he lacks movement skills for zone.

172. Charlie Heck - OT - North Carolina - 6'-8" 311 lbs. - As Alyo has stated, the son of a coach. Smart, good technique and excellent length. Needs to add some weight and power. Great developmental type of L/RT.

187. Scott Frantz - OT - Kansas State - 6'-5" 300 lbs. - Mauler strength and a maulers mentality. Not a great athlete and needs to add weight.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tier 6:

212. Colton McKivitz - OT - West Virginia - 6'-6" 306 lbs. - Big, strong RT prospect that has issues against speed. Can get out over his feet when he lunges at targets.

218. Justin Herron - OT - Wake Forest - 6'-4" 308 lbs. - A OG in the NFL. Good pass blocker with decent footwork, has trouble trading power in the run game. Zone scheme OG.

221. Jon Runyan - OT - Michigan - 6'-4" 306 lbs. - I think he moves inside to OG. Son of an NFL OT. So he is smart. Good athlete but lacks strength. zone scheme OG.

234. Trey Adams - OT - Washington - 6'-8" 318 lbs. - Power blocking scheme only, once a top 25 pick, now maybe undraftable due to multiple injuries. Carries bad weight. A better athlete then mauler so his skill set doesn't match his power (or lack thereof)

The top tier is as good as any OT group I have seen. Tier 2 guys are starters or 1 year and then start types. Tier 3 and 4 are going to need some seasoning and/or the right team to see the field. Tiers 5 and 6 are PS squad types or maybe moving inside to OG. The lone exception is Trey Adams. He had 1st round talent and a ton of injuries. I have no idea what he has left.
