OT Prospects for the NFL Draft

The Offensive Tackle prospects for the upcoming draft is a long list of talented players. They also have some versatility in the group. A few have played other positions in their careers, some are great run blockers and others excel in the passing game. This is a strong group with depth into the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
OT POSITION GRADE: A-

1. Jason Smith (Baylor) 6'5 310
Jason Smith has become the top OL prospect in this draft. He has great feet to go along with his size. He has the run block abilities of some of the top Guards in the league, he can move off of his first defender and down field. He has good athleticism, being that he was once a TE at Baylor. Smith will be the first OL taken, and if the Lions pass on Stafford they likely will be going with OT Jason Smith.
DRAFT GRADE: 95

2. Eugene Monroe (Virginia) 6'5 311
Eugene Monroe has been on the NFL radar for a couple years now. He is considered more of a Pass Blocking OT, but he is at least average in the run game. He has extremely long arms which will help him hold off top speed rushers in the NFL. He has been beaten in his career by top notch DE's and from time to time struggles to push in the ground attack. He will be gone quickly, but his lack of consistency in the running game should keep him behind Smith.
DRAFT GRADE: 92

3. Andre Smith (Alabama) 6'4 330
Andre Smith has really killed his stock, and his bank account in the last few months. I assume that he will still be a top 25 pick, but he had a legitimate chance at #1 overall before he went all Barrett Robbins lately. He messed up his chance at playing in a bowl game, and followed that up by not hiring an agent early on, and then showed up at the combine out of shape and slow. He then left the combine. Wow, that's really all there is to say. He is a monster OL, but he also could be a serious problem if he goes crazy after he gets his hands on the millions of dollars. He is the most talented OL in the draft, but I think he will be taken around 20-25 because of the concerns.
DRAFT GRADE: 86 (would have been mid 90s without terrible past few months)

4. Michael Oher (Mississippi) 6'4 307
Oher is an amazing athlete for an offensive tackle. He was once considered a top 5 pick but has fallen a bit due to concerns about what has been called a "lack of focus". Some times his motor doesn't run at full speed. He still should be able to start for a team in his first season, and with the proper attention and coaching could be a stud for years to come. Oher will also be taken in the first 25 picks.
DRAFT GRADE: 84

5. Eben Britton (Arizona) 6'6 305
Britton was a star in the Pac 10. He dominated the ground game, and led blockers through mammoth holes. He is a road-grading OT, but lacks the athleticism and arm length to excel in pass blocking at the NFL level. He has a great frame at 6'6, but does not use that frame well against elite pass rushers. Eben spent two seasons at Right Tackle, and his senior season at Left Tackle. He will be playing on the right side of the line for a team next year in the NFL. He should come off the board late in the first round.
DRAFT GRADE: 80
