Any sleeper picks for o-line?

[rlee]

Anyone know of any possible sleeper o-line picks? I like G Tony Tella from Miami.

OG Fred Matua, USC

Adam Stenavich. We better grab this guy. Starter at left OT for Michigan which has a history of pumping out good linemen. He can play all along the line but probably translates best to LG.

You must be the only guy that reads my posts.

Yes Stenavich! yes!

How about this guy?

Chris Kuper, OG North Dakota: Nearly declared as a junior last year after a great season, but went back to school and raised his draft status with a solid senior season. His biggest asset is his pure strength, but he is very athletic for his 6-3, 300lb. frame. His footwork needs help, but he is a great pass blocker and will be invited to the likes of the Hula Bowl and Senior Bowl to boost his draft status. He projects as an early day-two pick, but could move into the 3rd round with a good combine.

Overall: Kuper grew up in Alaska and played football (as a quarterback) sparingly in high school. He redshirted in 2001 and saw limited action as a reserve guard in 2002. He took over as a fulltime starter at right guard in 2003 and he started 41 consecutive games (right and left guard) during his final three seasons at North Dakota. Kuper, a former high school quarterback, is a fine athlete for his size and position. He has a great frame and size potential. He also possesses the athletic ability to potentially compete for a backup job at OG and/or OG in the NFL. However, Kuper is a small-school prospect whose learning curve in the NFL will be steep. He needs to get bigger and stronger. He must also improve his overall technique and become a more explosive blocker. In our opinion, Kuper has enough upside to warrant fifth or sixth ...

Another backup linebacker?

Ryan Neill, DE Rutgers: Son of former New York Giant Bob Neill, Ryan has played a key role in Rutgers' turnaround. Neill is only 6-3, 265lbs. and may project better as a 3-4 OLB, but he has put up great stats as a defensive end. He's recorded 17 sacks over the last two seasons and 33.5 tackles for loss since recovering from a knee injury that caused him to miss all of 2003. Neill has adequate speed and can wreak havoc in the backfield, but he might be undersized to play DE. He hasn't received much attention and his knee injury will likely come up again, so I'd expect him to be a 6th or 7th-round pick.

Note the Parcells connection.
