Scouting the NFL Draft: Offensive linemen
Last Updated 5:49 am PDT Tuesday, April 22, 2008
Story appeared in SPORTS section, Page C3
1. Jake Long, 6-7, 317, Sr., Michigan. Consistent, big-bodied player with good leadership skills. But he is not as quick as last year's top lineman, Joe Thomas.
2. Ryan Clady, 6-6, 311, Jr. Boise State. Clady is only a junior, and some observers feel he has the potential to be an elite tackle. Still needs to work on his technique.
3. Chris Williams, 6-6, 320, Sr., Vanderbilt. Williams was impressive at the Senior Bowl and was so light on his feet it's hard to believe he is 320 pounds.
4. Branden Albert, 6-6, 316, Jr., Virginia. A big-bodied interior lineman who is very good at pulling and hitting moving targets. Some feel Albert can play tackle or guard.
5. Jeff Otah, 6-6, 340 pounds, Sr., Pittsburgh. Otah is powerful and long-limbed, but he doesn't have the athleticism of the elite tackles. Probably best as a right tackle.
