1. Joe Thomas
2. Levi Brown
3. Joe Staley
4. Doug Free
5. James Marten
6. Tony Ugoh
7. Ryan Harris
8. Mike Otto
9. Allen Barbre
10. Adam Koets

OG:
1. Justin Blalock
2. Ben Grubbs
3. Aaron Sears
4. Manuel Ramirez
5. Andy Alleman
6. Tim Duckworth
7. Dan Santucci
8. Mansfield Wrotto
9. Cameron Stephenson
10. Kasey Stoddard

C:
1. Josh Beekman
2. Ryan Kalil
3. Samson Satele
4. Leroy Harris
5. Doug Datish

Why do you have Beekman so high ? He is widely considered as the 3rd best center in the draft way behind Kalil, and behind Satele as well ..

Oh really? First of all plenty have both listed as Gaurds not Centers, and plenty of sites top 100 have Beekman just ahead of Satele.

Understood, they are closer than that IMO. I like Beekman's bulk/strength/drive blocking ability over Kalil and Satele. I also like his versatility to be able to play guard if needed. Kalil is a center only, needs to bulk up or he'll be tossed around by the likes of the AFC East NT's. Satele is okay, but not as strong as Beekman.

I'm only going to rank the tackles, as this is the Phins biggest need. The C spot is very weak in this draft IMO and the Phins aren't really in need of a guard, so I've not looked at that position at all.

OT:
1. Joe Thomas
2. Levi Brown
3. Joe Staley
4. Doug Free
5. Tony Ugoh
6. Allen Barbre
7. Marshall Yanda
8. James Marten
9. Ryan Harris

I'd say we're just as in need of a guard as we are a tackle. Toledo and Monica are no guarantee at LG.

A hole at LT is worse than one at LG but still we saw what a hole at even RG could do to you early on last year.

 

[finfan54]

No way, no how is Joe Staley the number 2 LT.

Wade Smith waiting to happen and he cannot or will not start right away and if he does, people will see that he is not starting material at LT yet. He needs to put more bulk/weight on. Like alabi had to. Better upside than alabi however.
