Offensive Tackle

1. Cam Robinson, Alabama

2. Mike McGlinchey, Notre Dame

3. Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin

4. Roderick Johnson, Florida State

5. Adam Bisnowaty, Pittsburgh

The offensive tackle group lacks that safe prospect who is a lock to be a top-10 pick. In fact, there’s a chance we don’t see the first offensive tackle selected until the middle of the 1st round. The positive is that there’s some solid depth and talent to be found in the middle rounds.

More from With the First Pick

Alabama’s Cam Robinson is my top ranked offensive tackle based on his experience, production and upside. He has just enough skills to stick at left tackle in the NFL, but will need to clean up several areas of his game.

Mike McGlinchey is a more reliable prospect who is a good athlete and physical presence. However, I have questions about his foot speed and ability to handle the left tackle spot. He’s still a solid prospect but is more of a right-tackle only.

Florida State’s Roderick Johnson is extremely talented but equally raw. He has a lot of work to do with his technique and feel for the position. However, evaluators will see a great piece of clay that coaches can mold into a star.
