*****
1. Evan Neal, Alabama
To me he’s by far the best tackle in this draft and I don’t think it’s that close. He’s a freak of nature who could be a Hall of Famer and should be the top overall pick.
*****
2. Ikem Ekwonu, NC State
Ekwonu has amazing feet and can play tackle but also slide inside to guard if needed.
*****
3. Tyler Linberbaum, Iowa
Linderbaum is the best center prospect by far in this year's draft class. He won’t get past the top 15.
*****
4. Charles Cross, Mississippi State
Cross rounded out into form this season as the former five-star has amazing length and athletic ability.
*****
5. Kenyon Green, Texas A&M
Green is the best pure interior lineman in the draft according to some. He is a great run blocker.
*****
6. Zion Johnson, Boston College
Johnson showed his versatility at the Senior Bowl snapping center and he’s a can’t-miss interior lineman.
*****
7. Trevor Penning, Northern Iowa
Penning is an absolute mauler and the most physical of the tackles but is high risk as he can stay high.
*****
8. Bernhard Raimann, Central Michigan
Raimann is a steady and solid lineman who won’t wow you but also won’t let you find a ton of mistakes on film.
*****
9. Darian Kinnard, Kentucky
Kinnard can be a tackle or guard and he’s a leader. He came back last season and matured even more.
*****
10. Nicholas Petite-Frere, Ohio State
A great athlete with length and a great frame, he could be a steal in the second round.
