Given the focus is on defense this year I can honestly say that I don't jack past names like Cody and McClain. However what I do know is guys who fit on the O-Line

Obviously Okung is a shoe in. However from the second round on back there are many good O-Line prospects

Charles Brown - T - USC - Quick first step and gets into sound position. Does not provide a strong initial surge but can sink hips and regain leverage. Has the lateral quickness to scoop defensive tackles and hook defensive ends. Questionable balance and slips off too many blocks.

Note: If you see anywhere in a players profile that he has the ability to "scoop" anything then chances are he's a good fit for a zone blocking scheme. Other buzz words you want to look for include things like "takes good angles", "gets to the second level, and "quick first step.

Selvish Capers - T - West Virginia - Not going to drive many defenders off the ball. Plays far too high and legs can go dead on contact. On the other hand, has above-average athletic ability. Can scoop 3-techniques and seal 5- and 7- techniques inside. Doesn't always take sound angles to downfield blocks but has above-average range and body control so h ecan cover up linebackers when technique is sound.

Note: He seems more like a RT at this point and didn't do much to justify taking him as a LT. If we had our 3rd round pick still I would love to see if he could fall that far, though tackles rated as highly as Capers rarely do

Jason Fox - T - Miami - Has enough range to effectively pull and flashes the ability to cut off linebackers at the second level. Works to sustain once locked on but doesn't get much push. While he is agile enough to be an effective zone blocker he takes too many false steps and will have a difficult time hooking 5-techniques and scooping 3-techniques at the NFL level unless footwork improves.

Note: Seems like a nice late round pick that can be developed. Definitely has great size.

Vladamir Ducasse - T/G - UMass - Displays a quick first step and takes strong angles to the point. Plays with balance and leverage and is able to engulf defenders with massive frame and strength. Moves well in the open field and can adjust on the move in space. However needs to take more precise angles when cutting off linebackers and could use to play with lower pad level at times.

Note: My personal favorite right now. If this year ends up being a top heavy tackle draft then Ducasse could end up being a steal. He has the size and quickness to succeed at LT. In fact a better way to describe him might be a poor mans Brandon Albert.

Mike Johnson - G - Alabama - While he doesn't always get great push he uses excellent hand placement and rarely slips off blocks once locked on. Is quick and masks a lack of ideal body control in space by taking sound angles to second-level blocks. Can scoop 1-techniques and hook 3-techniques so he may be a good fit for a team that does a lot of zone blocking. Footwork is inconsistent, though. Takes too many false steps and plays too high when asked to drive defensive tackles off the ball.

Note: Would be a solid pick if we got him in the fourth

Sergio Rendar - G - VT - Lower-body strength appears above-average and can drive defensive tackles off the ball when plays with sound leverage. Effective down-blocker who can collapse defensive tackles inside. Can get around the center when asked to trap. Though he doesn't show great body control in space is big enough to engulf linebackers and willing to throw his body around when he gets to the second level. Hands slip outside the defender's frame a little too often and holding could be an issue until he cleans up his technique.
