Not sure if this has been posted yet. Mel has Miami selecting Michael Roos, OT. Don't know much about him, but I seriously doubt we go OL in the 3rd round.
Roos is a vastly underrated athlete who gained quite a bit of attention from NFL scouts after his performance in practices prior to the 2005 Senior Bowl. Called the best offensive lineman in the country below the NCAA Division 1-A ranks by The NFL Draft Report, Roos proved in Alabama that he is capable of performing very well at the next level. He not only excelled on the football field for the Eagles, but also in the classroom, with a double major in Finance and Economics. Roos redshirted as a freshman at Eastern Washington, but played in every game in 2001, seeing action at defensive end, tight end and defensive tackle. He shifted to the offensive line in 2002, starting all year at left tackle for a line that was in a constant state of change (team used eight different blocking units during the course of the season).
He again lined up at left tackle in 2003, earning All-Big Sky Conference honorable mention for the second straight year. Before the start of the 2004 season, Roos graduated with a double degree and is presently working on his master's.
Roos was named All-America first-team and Division 1-AA Offensive Lineman of the Year by The NFL Draft Report. He also garnered All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association and The Sports Network.
He was a unanimous choice for first-team All-Big Sky Conference honors as selected by the league's head coaches. Roos started all 13 games at left offensive tackle in his final season, bringing his total number of consecutive starts to 35 at that position. He helped Eastern Washington average 475.5 yards of offense per game to rank fourth in I-AA, as well as an average of 37.5 points per game to rank sixth.
