Quote:I think there's at least three lineman we should be aiming to get between RD1 - RD3 next year. 

 

1. Cam Robinson - OT - Alabama - He should end up being a first round selection . Big kid. Well balanced. Proven blocker. Has improved this year in the pass blocking department by all accounts. 

 

2. Connor McDermott - OT - UCLA - We might be able to get this Giant in RD2 - RD3 next year. I think he's an upgrade at RT at the minimum over Parnell. 

 

3. Ethan Pocic - C - LSU - If he's pegged to play Center by most scouts instead of Guard in the NFL he could be there as well in RD2 or RD3. I think we should give him a shot at Center and that gives us the ability to move Linder back to guard where he needs to be. 

 

 

Cam Robinson is without a doubt the top OT in this class. The problem is this kid has all kinds of red flags. I've read a couple of articles saying he is a nightmare to deal with off the field and his arrest for drugs and gun possession this past off season seems to back that up. He's be a huge risk with a first round pick. Personally, I'd pass.

 

As a huge UCLA fan, (it's a bad year to be one of those), I can tell you Connor McDermott is the most over hyped prospect this year. The kid can't run block at all and although he is the Bruins best pass protector (which isn't saying much), he is average at best. There is no way he is worthy of a first round pick or a second round pick in my opinion. In fact, I probably wouldn't even consider his until at least the 4th round and only as a project. 

 

Ethan Pocic is a solid C/OG prospect. While I prefer Elflein or Feeney, Pocic is definitely one of the top 3 interior linemen in this draft and if it were me, I'd trade down, to try and snag 2 of these guys in the first and second rounds. Elflein in particular. That kid is an excellent run blocker and a very good pass protector. If you ask me, he may be the best O-Lineman Ohio State has turned out in many years.
