Since we are doing it for positions we don't need, how about for those we do need.

Would like to know the top 3 LT's, G's, and C's or who you think will be better than those currently rated at the top.

Got this from Miller's way too early board. Not sure if helps but its a nice comprehensive list of what's out there. Most likely could have just gave you what you asked for but where's the fun in that? This is Finheaven!!! Lets go bananas!!! This list obviously subject to change and may actually be a little behind the current status of positional rankings. Jedrick Wills not listed under top ten tackles maybe an oversight or possibly he hadn't declared at that point. Who knows?

I won't know until the measurements at the combine. From the senior bowl, I am pretty sure that Matt Peart at T and Josh Jones at G will be in the top 5 linemen. Damien Lewis G has a chance too if he drops another 5 pounds by the combine.
 
Any list that has Throckmorton on it should be disregarded post haste!

I may have to move Herbert up a notch just for having to deal with knowing that a damn matador was protecting one of his edges.

I see why he had to play the quick horizontal game now.
 
Those rankings gotta be very old. Here are my personal rankings:

Tackles:

Tier 1 - would pick all 3 if they are there at 18
1. Mekhi Becton, Louisville
2. Jedrick Wills, Alabama
3. Andrew Thomas, Georgia


Tier 2 - would consider at 18 depending on board, much preferred at 26
4. Tristan Wirfs, Iowa

Tier 3 - would consider at 56
5. Prince Tega Wonogho, Auburn


Guards: The guards class is relatively weak, I wouldn't take any of these guys until the 3rd round.

1. Shane Lemieux, Oregon
2. Solomon Kindley, Georgia
3. Logan Stenberg, Kentucky,
4. Ben Cleveland, Georgia
5. Ben Bredeson, Michigan

Centers: Very important that we get one of the top 2. 26 should be one of them.

1A. Lloyd Cushenberry, LSU
1B. Tyler Biadasz, Wisconsin
3. Darryl Williams, Mississippi State
4. Matt Hennessy, Temple
5. Keith Ismael, San Diego State
 
Where is anyone from the o-line of LSU?

LSU doesn’t have any notable draft eligible OL this year. Despite their success all year, OL was one of their weakest position groups. Their Center, Lloyd Cushenberry was graded out at the end of the year that he wouldn’t be drafted and should go back to school for 2020. He played well in the Senior Bowl (because he declared for the draft anyway), but I’d consider the rest of his body of work before drafting him. Their offense was run through Burrow, Edwards-Helaire, and an extremely talented receiving core (including TEs).

What a shame Creed Humphrey won't be part of this years draft, I liked the idea of taking one of the top Centers this year, which will now have one less quality player.

Say what?

I like Burrow as much as the next man, but you cant, in good faith, claim that 60 passing TDs came simply because he was so much better than the opposition...

Your post is more extra'd out than anything Tua's supporters have claimed.

Gimme a break....

He's priority #1 for me next year if Miami doesn't address Center this offseason.
