O'Cyrus Torrence
OG / FLORIDA / 6'5 / 337
.png)
Torrence is a well-rounded prospect with a strong build for the position. His strength in the run game is evident, and you can see his physicality at the point of attack. He can move defenders in the trenches and has the strength to win consistently. He's proven his reliability in pass protection and can effectively sustain blocks. However, Torrence's athletic profile is questionable. His agility and movement skills could be better, which will limit his blocking range. I see Torrence as a dependable starter for years to come, but I would be hesitant to select him on day one due to his athleticism.
Grade: Round 2

John Michael Schmitz
C / MINNESOTA / 6'4 / 320
Schmitz is a well-rounded center who understands the game of football. He possesses functional strength in the run game and can sustain blocks well. He is a true anchor who understands the game of football and can bring leadership to the offensive line unit. Schmitz moves well in space, but his athleticism is nothing special. He won't have the range to take certain angles downfield. Schmitz only has experience at the center position, so he will likely be limited to that spot as of now. However, I see him as a quality starter who can handle the nuances of the NFL.
Grade: Round 2

Joe Tippman
C / WISCONSIN / 6'6 / 317
Tippman is a unique center with a ton of athletic upside and physical tools. His combination of size, strength, and agility is among the best in the draft class. Tippman has the ideal frame to be a versatile offensive line piece who can play at any position across the unit. He has all the physical tools to excel in the NFL. Reportedly, Tippman is also highly respected, extremely dedicated, and coachable. Albeit, his mechanics can improve, and his pad level sometimes becomes too high. However, with his blend of physical tools, he should be a quality piece at the next level.
Grade: Round 2

Steve Avila
C / TCU / 6'4 / 332
Avila is a large interior lineman with a ton of physical upside and experience. At 6'4 and 332 lbs, he has a monstrous frame with a ton of mass. Avila's size gives him functional strength that he uses effectively in the run game. He is an experienced player with the versatility and background to play multiple positions on the line. His redirection and agility could be better, but for his size, it's a tradeoff. I see Avila as a plug-and-play starter who can produce early in his career and compete wherever needed.
Grade: Round 2

Olusegun Oluwatimi
C / MICHIGAN / 6'3 / 308
Oluwatimi is an intelligent center with a ton of experience. He led one of the best offensive line units in the nation, consistently playing against tough competition. Oluwatimi is very cerebral, aware, and quick to react. He understands the game of football at a high level. Oluwatimi is a technical pass protector who has proven his dependability. However, he lacks true strength in the run game and needs to get his hands and feet in sync. With his IQ and solid quickness, Oluwatimi can become a quality starter at the next level.
Grade: Round 3
Ted Karras

Luke Wypler
C / OHIO STATE / 6'3 / 300
Wypler is a dependable and consistent center with a solid athletic foundation. He is an intelligent competitor who possesses uniform technical skills. Wypler is an experienced player with a ton of high-level exposure at Ohio State. He is a nuanced pass-protector with great footwork and agility. However, unlike some of the other interior linemen, Wypler does not possess the same functional strength to drive defenders forward. Despite this, his well-rounded fundamentals and athletic upside will make him a solid option in the NFL.
Grade: Round 3
Garrett Bradbury

Jarrett Patterson
C / NOTRE DAME / 6'4 / 304
Patterson is an intelligent player with solid fundamentals and consistency. He has the experience and versatility to play at both center and guard. Patterson has demonstrated good functional strength in the run game and the ability to sustain blocks for a long time. Patterson's straight-line burst is excellent, but his lateral agility is not great. He doesn't offer much on the second level but is a consistent and reliable player in the trenches. He needs to use his hands better and often lets people get close to his frame.
Grade: Round 3

Emil Ekiyor Jr.
OG / ALABAMA / 6'3 / 317
Ekiyor Jr. is a physical guard with a ton of sound production at the highest level. His broad frame and mass allow him to play with functional strength in the run game. He has the ability to sustain blocks but occasionally can lose leverage through angles. Ekiyor Jr. has proved his dependability through a ton of production against the best competition in college. However, he lacks the desired arm length and balance you want to see out of the position. I think he can become a serviceable starter in the NFL.
Grade: Round 3
Chance Warmack
9
Jaxson Kirkland
OG / WASHINGTON / 6'7 / 322
Kirkland is a technical blocker with a ton of positional versatility. His reliability and fundamentals are top-notch, and he was a consistent producer at Washington. Kirkland has experience playing all spots on the line and can provide much value in that sense. He possesses solid balance and is a smooth operator who can effectively control his movements. He's not the most dominant in the run game, nor does he have the coveted athleticism of a top pick. However, Kirkland is a technical and dependable player who can provide value to a shaky offensive line unit.
Grade: Round 4
Walker Little
10
McLendon Curtis
OG / CHATANOOGA / 6'6 / 331
Curtis is an imposing lineman with a ton of physical gifts. He has some of the best functional strength in the draft, and his power in the run game is evident on tape. Curtis has a monstrous frame with a broad base. He moves exceptionally well for his size and has no problem operating in space. With his experience at tackle, Curtis will have a ton of positional versatility. He is more comfortable driving forward than retreating back, and his pass protection could use more technical consistency.
Grade: Round 4
DJ Fluker
11
Ricky Stromberg
C / ARKANSAS / 6'4 / 315
Stromberg is a physical center with a good amount of experience. His functional strength in the run game is his most significant asset, and he is a true pile mover. At 6'4 and 315 lbs, Stromberg has the ideal wide base for the position, possessing a ton of mass. His pad level is ideal, and he can consistently get leverage over defenders. Stromberg is more comfortable in the run game and needs to work on his angles in pass protection. He moves well in space but could be a better athlete.
Grade: Round 4
Tyler Biadasz
12
Andrew Vorhees
OG / USC / 6'6 / 325
Vorhees is a strong guard with an ideal build to excel at the position. He is one of the most powerful interior linemen with his large frame and natural physical capabilities. It is reported that he can execute 40 reps at 225. Vorhees uses his strength and size to sustain blocks and anchor in pass-protection successfully. His radius and length allow him to use physicality at the point of attack. Vorhees lacks footspeed, and his agility may be a problem at the next level. His pad level can get high sometimes, forcing him to lose leverage. With his size and strength, I think Vorhees is a serviceable starter.
Grade: Round 4
Landon Dickerson
13
Nick Broeker
OG / OLE MISS / 6'5 / 305
Broeker is an agile guard with strong hands. He lacks the proper strength to drive but plays well beyond his size. He is very quick out of his stance and possesses good speed. That said, Broeker operates well in space and can effectively execute more technical pull blocks or downfield assignments. His arm length is small for the position, which makes it hard for him to sustain blocks. Broeker lacks the wide stance, and as a result, is prone to a high pad level. Hd has some good tools, which will make him a quality depth piece in the NFL.
Grade: Round 5
Kyle Long
14
Henry Bainivalu
OG / WASHINGTON / 6'6 / 340
Bainivalu is a sizeable guard with a strong athletic profile. He has excellent length and effectively uses it to get to defenders. However, sometimes this can also be a weakness. He frequently overreaches and allows the defender to move him off his block. His flexibility and athleticism will make Bainivalu a valuable player at the second level. He can effectively get into open space and contribute to the screen game. If he cleans up some technical inconsistencies, he can contribute to a unique run scheme in the NFL.
Grade: Round 6
Ben Cleveland

Braeden Daniels
OG / UTAH / 6'4 / 297
Daniels is one of the most versatile lineman prospects in the class. He has double-digit starts at numerous spots on the line and has a ton of experience overall. His strength is my biggest concern. At sub-300lbs, you can see that Daniels does not have the functional power in the run game. I often see him lose balance or approach with the wrong angle in pass protection. Daniels is very agile and works well in space. He will need to add size to his frame, but he should be a serviceable depth option in the NFL.
