Offensive Linemen

Ole Miss tackle Laremy Tunsil is undoubtedly the best offensive linemen in the draft and could be the first overall pick. He’s a dancing bear who moves effortlessly and could be a Day 1 starter at left tackle for the Tennessee Titans and protect franchise quarterback Marcus Mariota.

The Big Ten has Taylor Decker and Jack Conklin battling to be the third tackle picked after Notre Dame’s Ronnie Stanley, but another Big Ten tackle emerged in Indiana’s Jason Spriggs who was a top performer in the 20-yard shuttle, broad jump, bench and posted the fastest 40 at 4.94. He’s a potential late-first rounder now.

Alabama’s Ryan Kelly and Notre Dame’s Nick Martin are the top center prospects and Cody Whitehair and Josh Garnett are the top guards, but I like what Christian Westerman from Arizona State did at the Combine. He is one of the strongest players on the field and that was clear when he pumped out 34 reps on the bench, the most by any player this year.
