*****
1. Jordan Davis, Georgia
The 360-pounder is lower on some lists because he can’t play a ton of snaps but tops on mine as he reminds of Vita Vea.
*****
2. DeMarvin Leal, Texas A&M
Lea is slipping out of the first round for many but his scheme versatility is there and I don’t see as much film regression as others.
*****
3. Devonte Wyatt, Georgia
Wyatt made himself a lot of money this season and especially down the stretch as one of the more active tackles in this draft.
*****
4. Perrion Winfrey, Oklahoma
Winfrey's motor and work ethic are off the charts and he’s a chaser. He can make plays anywhere.
*****
5. Travis Jones, UConn
Jones is a massive zero technique who can take up a ton of blockers.
*****
6. Logan Hall, Houston
Hall's athleticism can sneak up on you and he’s very quick off the snap.
*****
7. Phidarian Mathis, Alabama
Alabama makes it hard on defensive linemen in practice with that great OL and Mathis has been tested.
*****
8. Zachary Carter, Florida
Despite a dysfunctional season for the Gators, Carter’s stock remains high.
*****
9. Travon Walker, Georgia
Walker is another UGA interior lineman on this list. This speaks to how well each did in the Bulldogs' rotation.
*****
10. Boye Mafe, Minnesota
Mafe is a recent favorite of scouts who works well of contact and makes some splash plays.
