1. Ryan Kelly, Alabama, 6-4 311: Kelly is big for a center. He has long arms and is strong at the point of attack. He is a high I.Q player who understands fronts and the blocking schemes he’s playing in. Terrific run blocker who fits into double teams and gets movement. Solid short area pass blocker who moves well laterally and can punch and recoil. Kelly has moved into the first round on a lot of mock drafts and rightfully so. he is a first round talent.

2. Nick Martin, Notre Dame, 6-4 300: Martin is tall, rangy and he uses his length to his advantage. He is strong at the point of attack and gets good movement on one on one blocks. Sound short area pass blocker. He does a good job of sitting down, punching, recoiling and adjusting. Smart. Understands the game and makes all the line calls no problem. I think he’s a day two prospect but probably won’t go until the 3rd or 4th round.

3. Jack Allen, Michigan State, 6-1 294: Allen was a team captain at Michigan State. He is a strong run blocker who gets good body position and movement on one on one blocks. Tough. He might be on the smaller side but Allen wins with technique. This former wrestler understands how to use body position and leverage when engaging with a defender. Allen has the make up to be a starter in the NFL.

4. Graham Glasgow, Michigan, 6-5 1/2 307: I like Glasgow because he is versatile. He can play center or guard. Strong at the point of attack. He gets good movement on one on one blocks and he gets into good position on double teams. Glasgow is pretty athletic for a big man. He moves well on the second level. He is a sound area pass blocker. Has good enough feet to “molly” out and block a blitzing edge rusher. Look for Glasgow to go in the fourth to sixth round.

5. Max Tuerk, USC, 6-5 298: Tuerk can play either center or guard. He’s long and does a good job using his length to his advantage, especially in pass pro. He’s a physical run blocker who gets inside hand position on defenders and finishes at the whistle. Tough. Tuerk plays with an edge to him that coaches will like. Can be inconsistent at times and he doesn’t play to his size all the time.

6. Jake Brendel, UCLA, 6-4 303: Brendel is another one of these new age centers that’s tall and lean. Smart. Understands fronts and what defenses want to do. Physical in a short space. Gets inside hand position and stones defenders. Brendel moves well in space and can isolate a defender running downhill off of a double team. Plays with bad body lean at times in pass pro but he is a good player with the potential to start on Sunday’s.

7. Issac Seumalo, Oregon State, 6-3 1/2 303: Seumalo is a short, quick twitched center who plays with good leverage and body position. I really like his game in tight quarters. He’s strong so he wins a lot of one on one battles. Needs to play lighter on his feet in pass pro. He gets stuck sometimes. Has starter or back-up potential at the next level.

8. Austin Blythe, Iowa, 6-2 291: Blythe is a classic Iowa offensive lineman. Short, strong, stout and technically sound. Blythe understands leverage and he does a good job of fitting into one on one blocks and winning at the point of attack. He’ll struggle at times in pass pro, especially against defensive tackles that can extend and press him, but he has the functional strength, especially in his lower body to be a good player.

9. Evan Boehm, Missouri, 6-2 301: Boehm is similar to Blythe in terms of the type of player he is but he’s taller and has longer arms. Boehm is strong at the point of attack. Gets good movement and can come off of double teams and seal a flowing defender. Moves well laterally in pass pro and has the hands and the feet to be a good pass blocker. Boehm doesn’t jump out at you on film. He can be very average times.

10. Mike Matthews, Texas A&M, 6-2 290: Matthews is from the famous Matthews football family. He is the son of Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews. Technically sound. Matthews gets proper hand position and has a strong upper body which enables him to get movement. He is a good pass blocker who bends appropriately and moves well laterally. A bit of an over achiever. Matthews doesn’t have the athleticism of his brother and cousins.
