Tier 1ICONGlenn looks more like a guard than tackle to me.
David DeCastro: Stanford (6-5, 310)
The best offensive line prospect I've evaluated since Maurkice Pouncey in 2010. He showcases the ability to get a push in-line and is a dominant move player as well. He's fluid/natural in pass protection and with a little more power in his base he's got the skill set to become on of the leagues best guards early in his NFL career.
Tier 2
Cordy Glenn: Georgia (6-5, 348)
Has had some struggles in space as a tackle prospect, but in tighter areas where he can get his hands on linemen quickly as a guard he showcases the ability to dominate. Looks like a starting caliber OG early in his NFL career.
Tier 3
Amini Silatolu: Midwestern State (6-3, 324)
He has some technique flaws that needs to be fixed and will need to kick inside at the next level. However, he's a wide-bodied athlete with a powerful/explosive frame, good foot quickness and can really pull from the backside. Might need some time, but is one of the top guards in the class with as much upside as any.

With so much talk of Brandon Weeden, I thought I would include this scouting report from Eric Stoner:

[h=1]Brandon Weeden[/h]
Position: QB School: Oklahoma State Height: 6’3 [SUP]3[/SUP]/[SUB]4[/SUB]" Weight: 221 lbs Class: RS-Senior 40 time: 4.95 All-Star Game: Senior Bowl Team Captain: Yes
[h=3]Draft Projection:[/h] [h=3]Mid 1st/Early 2nd Round[/h]
[h=3]Summary[/h]
A big pocket passer who owns virtually every Oklahoma State passing record (both career and single season). Drafted out of high school as a pitcher, and returned to college football in 2007 after shoulder injuries ended his baseball career. Teamed up with wide receiver Justin Blackmon to form the most prolific quaterback/wide receiver duo in the country over the last two seasons. Has more work to do mechanically than you’d like for a quarterback his age (28 year-old Redshirt Senior), but the mechanical inconsistencies also indicate the potential for untapped upside in terms of arm talent and accuracy. He projects to go from the middle of round one to early round two.
[h=3]Mechanics/Release[/h]
Has a pitcher’s mechanics – locks his front knee, raises his back leg upon release, and has an inconsistent release point due to bringing the ball so far back behind his head during wind-up (which causes him to throw sidearm at times). Habit of patting the ball before pulling the trigger, which elongates the release process. Played almost exclusively from the shotgun, mostly “catch and throw” snaps, three step drops, and five step drops. Has a slow dropback with no crossover, however, he improved the speed of his drops as the 2011 season went along.
[h=3]Mobility[/h]
Isn’t mobile, but is capable of escaping pressure to his right with pretty good quickness. Not a statue, but he can get clumsy and awkward when forced to his left. Pocket-passer.
[h=3]Arm Strength[/h]
Has enough pop in his arm required to make baseline NFL throws – although he doesn’t have a cannon. Arm-stength gets negated at times due to inconsistent release point, stiff front leg, and no weight transfer or trunk rotation. Despite his age, his arm isn’t maxed out, and the velocity on this throws can increase if he improves his footwork, weight transfer, and trunk rotation.
[h=3]Accuracy[/h]
Gets streaky with his accuracy and ball placement, but shows the capability of making stick throws when he’s on target. Prone to raising his back foot on release, leaving him unbalanced – which causes a lot of his passes to get thrown high and/or behind the wide receiver. College offense naturally created open space for receivers to adjust to erratic ball placement. Again, when he’s in a rhythm, you see the potential for a very accurate NFL quarterback. How far he progresses in his consistency in this area, once again, comes down to mechanical improvements and consistency.
[h=3]Decision Making and Intangibles[/h]
Field general who dictated an up-tempo, no-huddle passing attack. At his most comfortable throwing inside the numbers, especially in-breaking routes to the isolated, weak-side receiver in the formation. Due to having a wide receiver that drew so much extra coverage, he has a good understanding of defensive leverage vs an isolated receiver. Also very comfortable with vertical seam/post reads by interior receivers. Tendency to lock on in his progressions and to throw blind into coverage late in the play count – needs to speed up his timing and understand how routes synch with the plant and gather phases of his drop. Corners who play a lot of sink and trail coverage can throw him off and force him into puzzling decisions. Style of offense did not require him to play with much anticipation, and often threw to open-spaced areas. Needs to improve his feel of the pocket – the few times per game he was pressured, he had a tendency to drift and throw off his back foot.
Has top notch intangibles and proved to be a quick learner at Senior Bowl practices. Was the top performer throughout the week in Mobile. Has already been through the grind of being a professional athlete – going through the MLB farm system before shoulder problems forced him to retire from baseball and return to college to play football.

I been waiting for Upshaw to run. Does anyone think that a bad showing will effect his status in terms of possibly moving into the 2nd?

Andrew Luck: Stanford (6-4, 235)
Doesn't have an elite arm, but is a "plus" in just about every other facet of the game. Is about as safe a franchise quarterback prospect you can find.
Tier 2
ICONRG3 looks like a lock for the second pick in the draft.
Robert Griffin III: Baylor (6-2, 220)
A "plus" athlete who can really throw the football, is a student of the game and is only starting to scratch the surface of his potential. Has as much upside as any prospect in the draft and looks like a future franchise signal caller.
Ryan Tannehill: Texas A&M (6-4, 222)
With such limited experience at the quarterback position it's not a case of where this guy is right now, but where he can be in 2/3 years. I love the talent and the overall production from a guy who doesn't have much experience playing from under center as he plays way beyond his years. A potential franchise quarterback in my mind.
Tier 3
Brandon Weeden: Oklahoma State (6-4, 218)
His age will likely keep him from going as early in the draft as his talents deserve. But there isn't a throw this guy can't make and he has the skill set and mental make-up to mature into a potential starter with some time.
