Guard

Forrest Lamp is widely regarded as the top interior offensive line prospect and a 1st round pick. I see a different player who lacks functional strength and has short arms. The guards that I like in this draft are power guys who move people off the line of scrimmage.

Damien Mama’s lack of top-end athleticism is a bit of a concern, but he played quicker than his workout numbers showed. Look for Danny Isidora to carve out a nice career as one of the sleepers in this draft.

Center

Pat Elflein isn’t getting nearly enough attention as a prospect. He’s a plug-and-play prospect who can control the line of scrimmage. His experience playing both guard and center gives him a better chance to contribute right away.

Tyler Orlosky isn’t flashy but has the talent and skills to be a long-term starter in the NFL. I wouldn’t be surprised if he earns a starting job early in his rookie season.

1. Pat Elflein, Ohio State

2. Ethan Pocic, LSU

3. Tyler Orlosky, West Virginia

4. Jon Toth, North Carolina

5. Kyle Fuller, Baylor
