Decent article on OL in this year's draft

[MNFINFAN]

Not sure if this was posted but it goes over all the OL in the draft, or at least the top ones.

Cheers

Nice find, after reading this it looks like Rogers ain't the beast I thought. I'm for trading down to get Smiley or Grove :stuck:

Can you imagine if we got a 1st for O-Gun and were able to get both Smiley and Andrews in the first round?

My god... the line would be monsterous.

It seems if you read enough folks the only consensus first year starters are Gallery, Grove, Andrews, and Carey. And the last two have question marks regarding weight and dedication. Smiley is developing a consensus and after that there are a lot of "yes, but........." kind of folks. One guide I read has Peterman of LSU as the second guard and fifth lineman, now Pasquarelli doesn't have him in the top ten. Odd year for the Oline.

It is a weird year for OL. There's such a big gap between Gallery and everyone else that it's hard to differentiate a lot of these guys. Peterman is a fine example, I've seen him all over the place on draft boards. Alex Stepanovich is another.
