NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah "wouldn't be shocked" if Nevada OL Joel Bitonio landed at the end of Round 1.
This tweet falls in line with a few recent respected mock drafts that have projected the same. It's not hard to talk yourself into Bitonio. For one, he's an extremely versatile prospect who played OT during his Nevada career, but shifted seamlessly inside during Senior Bowl week; some scouts believe he is capable of playing all five positions, which, if nothing else, could save a club a roster spot. For two, he's extremely tough in the mold of his father, a former bare knuckle MMA fighter. Regardless of where he slots, the 6-foot-4, 315-pounder should carve out a long career. Apr 11 - 4:59 PM

The O Line could use a little attitude.

man I like that but not in the first

He pretty much handled Barr and Lawrence, says alot.

He was my favorite o line prospect in the draft back when he was a steal being projected as a 3rd rounder. Would still love him in the 2nd though. He could start at guard day 1 and take over at RT the 2nd year.

Love this guy. Watch his film and you will, too. Has the body more of a guard but could play RT, and well. If his arms were an inch longer and he were an inch taller, he'd be 1st round material right there at 16 as an OT.

I like him as well - plus he can play center god forbid Fred would go down

I don't see him anywhere near the 1st round.

He is strong once lockup up with a defender, but he don't have a lot of explosive power off the snap. He tested to be more athletic than he shows in game footage.

I don't see any chance that he is an NFL LT. As a Guard or RT, I would like to see more explosive power for those positions.
