Thread: Windy's OL Rankings [Post Combine]

1. OT Tyron Smith [USC] 6'5" 307lbs. 29 [225]

The athletic ability jumps off the scree and page with him and he could be an excellent LT in our passing offense. The problem is that there is 0 chance the Bears can get him.

2. OT Anthony Costanzo [Boston College] 6'7" 311lbs. 28 [22], 5.23 [40], 29.5" Vert.

A solid physical specimen who's technique stands out. He might never be flashy, but I cannot see him busting at all. I think he moved himself into the top 20 and out of reach of the Bears.

3. OT Gabe Carimi [Wisconsin] 6'7" 314lbs. 29 [225], 5.27 [40], 29" Vert.

He did exactly what I expected him to do, he looked solid, he tested well and then struggled with his lateral mobility. Carimi is a versatile battler but does not appear to be elite.

4. OT Derek Sherrod [Mississippi State] 6'5" 321lbs. 23 [225], 5.28 [40], 28"Vert.

This is the player that I am locking into for the Bears. He was average in the testing, but carried 320lbs really well and he showed really good feet and mobility in the drills. He looks like a LT that will hold up, but dominate.

5. OT Nate Solder [Colorado] 6'8" 319lbs. 21 [225], 5.05 [40] 32" Vert.

No player in the draft scares me more then Solder. He moves incredibly well, but plays upright and soft and did not show the strength necessary to keep NFL DEs off of his body. I see him as being more show then go right now.

6. OG Marcus Cannon [TCU] 6'5" 358lbs. 33 [225], 5.26 [40], 30.5" Vert.

Cannon is impressive physically and he tested off the charts for a 360lbs. man. My problem with him is that he does not physically dominate like a 360lbs man. He compares to Shawn Andrews only he does not have the tape.

7. OG Mike Pouncey [Florida] 6'5" 303lbs. 5.28 [40], 25" Vert.

He did nothing to impress or scare me away. He has a solid physical make up, but did not look like his brother in the drills. I was hoping he would move better in the slide and mirror drills.

8. OG Rodney Hudson [Florida St] 6'2" 299lbs. 27 [225], 5.31 [40], 28" Vert.

Hudson does not look like a football player and had the most pronounced man boobs at the combine. But he still looks technically sound in the drills and his footwork is flawless.

9 OT/OG Ben Ijalana [Villanova] 6'3" 317lbs.

I would have liked to have seen him do some of the testing, but 36" arms ad the build at 317lbs. make him look like an interesting option at LG.

10. OG Danny Watkins [Baylor] 6'3" 310lbs. 29 [225], 5.4 [40], 26" Vert.

The guy looks like a mountain man and he looked solid, not spectacular, in the testing and moved his feet really well and showed serious power at the Senior Bowl. If he was 22 he would be in the top 5.
