Might be another one who goes in the late first round, but Pat Elflein from Ohio State seems to be getting good reviews as a center, especially for his run-blocking. Could play guard too.
Anyone else worth looking at, improve our Offensive Line?
I like Ryan Ramscyk(?) The Wisconsin left tackle. They have a solid track record in making good linemen too.
Feeney is my top olineman right now, yes even over Cam Robinson. Already feeling the same kind of love I had for Ryan Kelly about him.
Also like Kelly he most likely won't make it to the 2nd round, but if he does he would be a fantastic pick.
I like Pat Elflein of OSU, Dan Feeney of Indiana, Ethan Pocic of LSU and Mason Cole of Michigan on the interior as targets and in the middle rounds I like Taylor Moton of WMU, Dion Dawkins of Temple, Chad Wheeler of USC and Jon Heck of North Carolina as OT prospects. There is some really elite interior linemen like the ones I mentioned who will go early, then the class seems to drop off sharply. As for OT, the depth is in the middle rounds, since this class lacks true top end talent.

Cam Robinson is the cream of the crop at OT, but he has so many off the field red flags that I wouldn't touch him.

Would love either Feeney or Elflein in the 2nd and add one of your mid-round prospects later on. This would be in addition to the best free agent offensive lineman they can sign- preferably a right tackle to replace Parnell.

Outside of the drug/gun incident with Hootie Jones(which *is* a major doozy he has to answer for, don't get me wrong), what other red flags are you talking about?

I've read a couple of articles about a month ago that said he is a nightmare to deal with. Apparently he has some personality issues.

I love Dan Feeney, but he is a OG only. I really like Elflein, Pocic and Cole, because they have the flexibility to play Center as well. That would give us a backup to Linder or we could play them at Center and move Linder back to OG. Like I said, I love Feeney, I just wish he played more than RG. I'd like some versatility.

Well, the only time anything like that actually happened was during his freshman year and that was mostly him not really wanting to get treatments done when he got hurt. Outside of the thing with Hootie Jones, he's been absolutely fine.
