One general manager has referred to Frederick as the best interior run blocking line the draft has witnessed in more than a half-decade. We hear Frederick will be a tight 315-pounds for the combine. Where could he end up? Sources tell me possibly the Indianapolis Colts at pick 24 as the team needs a guard or the Atlanta Falcons at pick 30. Watch what Atlanta does in free agency. We hear the game plan is to move Peter Konz, who started at guard as a rookie last season, to center and then sign a veteran guard. If they don’t sign a veteran then Frederick could be an option.

I've been saying that Frederick had "room" to lose weight and gain quickness. I thought that his quickness in 2012 was borderline, especially for the ZBS; however, at 315 lbs, he could be a completely different player. I'm not really sure why he played at 338. Maybe it's like a bodybuilder that bulks up to gain mass and then trims down before competing.
