Really my top pick is anyone of the three top OT’s
Tyron Smith OT USC 6-5 #307 - Quick feet off the snap. Good initial quickness to reach defenders that are shaded over him. Good positional blocker who will wall off defenders from the ball carrier. Has better than advertised strength for his size. Can drive defenders down the LOS on the play side or the back side of a play, allowing the ball carrier with a huge hole to run through or cut back through. Good mobility to pull and get up to the second level. His quick feet allow for him to be effective in pass protection. Slides out laterally well to mirror pass rushers and gets good depth on his kick slide. Plays with good balance and flashes a strong punch to jolt the pass rusher.
So the weight issue is non factor for me
Gabe Carimi OT Wis 6-7 #315 - Ideal size for the position and long arms to direct the defender. He has outstanding functional strength. Can drop anchor and defend against the bull rush with consistency, and has the drive and power to excel as a run blocker. Is able to bury people once he gets control. Is effective getting to the second level and can destroy people there. Is surprisingly effective in space. Despite his limited athleticism, he is still agile enough, and has decent footwork, to be an effective pass blocker at the next level. Can use his length and long arms (35 2/8) to steer the speed rushers around the pocket. Has a good initial punch and can deliver a strong, quick jolt that can keep the defender off balance. Plays with an edge, but doesn't lose control. Smart player who understands the blocking scheme well.
Derek Sherrod, OT Mississippi State 6-6 #305 - Long body and arms coupled with good footwork allow him to get excellent depth. Has solid, though not exceptional hand action and works hard to maintain position. Shows ability to pick-up pressure from linebackers or safeties. Able to use size to seal defender and willing to look upfield for the next block. Great speed for use in pulling situations or in screens.
Doug Free played well at ROT last year in Columbo's absence and with the top LOT still on the board, why not have the flexibility of 2 athletic young bookends that are interchangeable? Sure makes sense to me.
2 Davon House CB New Mexico 6 #190 - adds some much needed size and toughness to the corner position on the defense - Playmaking defender who is an effective and comfortable press corner with prototypical size and speed. Has long arms and strong upper body to jam and re-route receivers. Shows flexibility in the hips to turn and run with receivers. Has adequate speed when tracking the deep pass. Flashes the ability to stay with receivers on stop-and-go routes. Aggressive in run support and makes big hits - generally solid tackling ability. Has large hands and able to make contested catches.
2b – 3a John Moffitt, G/C, Wisconsin 6-4 #314 - Big, experienced player with versatility to play either guard position or the pivot. Explosive off the snap and uses his hips to explode into the defender while staying low and maintaining leverage. Uses his hands well and has a strong punch. Can extend his arms well into the defender and "holds" effectively and deceptively. Is able to get movement as a run blocker, sealing or moving his man down the line of scrimmage to open cutback lanes. Plays with power and strength, and has a bit of nastiness in his game. Well-respected player who is coachable and high-character
3 Deunta Williams, FS, North Carolina 6-2 #205 - Big, physical strong safety who hits well, and is fairly fluid and agile. Can cover the requisite amount of ground to be a 4-down player, and has been very productive at a high level for one of America's best collegiate defenses. Will make receivers hear footsteps, and will have a shot at being one of the coveted true secondary enforcers in this draft.
4 David Carter DE/DT UCLA 6-5#300 - he has the bulk and strength to play inside at defensive tackle or move outside to play the five-technique as a 3-4 defensive end
5 Ronald Johnson WR USC 5-11 #186 - Creates separation in his routes with his quickness ouit of breaks. Has good balance once he has the ball in his hands, as he's able to break out of tackles and stay on his feet. guy who is a threat with the ball in his hands, as he is dangerous on quick routes and screens. Has the speed to threaten defenses vertically. Dangerous return man with his speed, quickness, and vision
6. Greg McElroy, QB, Alabama 6-2 #225
7. Scott Lutrus ISLB Conn 6-3 #240 Teams schemed away from his side much of the time when running the ball. Solid tackler. Moves around a lot within games. Unflappable and confident. Excels dropping in coverage and is a decent coverage LB. Looks like an NFL SAM
