Teh article lists some of the top choices in the upcoming draft. Who are your favorites guys? See if ya'll can find soem time to check some fo these guys out. I'd love to hear e1s opinions before the draft....
Personally I tend to gravitate toward the better run blockers. I want SB to have holes to run through for once....Andrew Thomas of course is the guy withe most hype but also Guys like M becton and J willis and creed humphrey all seem to fit the bill..... I want two right tackles (guys who can run block) who can also happen to pass block well and a stud center..... I don't much about any of the these guys at this point, but just some initial inklings...
who are you guys starting to lean towards in round 1 or 2?

OT Andrew Thomas, Georgia (Saturday at Auburn, 3:30 p.m.)
Thomas is widely regarded as the best offensive lineman in this class, which makes him a natural fit for the Jets, who basically have to tear down and replace at all five spots up front. This list is chock full of offensive linemen, given the Jets’ massive need, but the consensus is that Thomas will be the most helpful to the team that is lucky enough to land him.
OT Tristan Wirfs, Iowa (Saturday vs. Minnesota, 4 p.m.)
Wirfs has flashed impressive positional flexibility this season, flipping between left and right tackle due to injury. He’s a massive body at 6-foot-5 and 322 pounds, too. He’s in the discussion among the top offensive linemen in this draft.
C Tyler Biadasz, Wisconsin (Saturday at Nebraska, 12 p.m.)
The majority of big-time offensive line prospects every year are tackles, but Biadasz has drawn some serious praise at the pivot. Again, he’s probably not quite a top-10 guy, but he could be a guy the Jets trade back to target. After all, they’ve been unable to find a reliable center since Nick Mangold left. They could certainly use a bedrock player at the position once again.
OT Alex Leatherwood, Alabama (Saturday at Mississippi State, 12 p.m.)
More offensive linemen! Leatherwood’s quick first step and athleticism jump off the page. He sometimes gets a bit sloppy with his hand placement and other fundamentals, but has the physical gifts needed to excel at the next level.
OT Jedrick Wills, Alabama (Saturday at Mississippi State, 12 p.m.)
Yes, two tackles from Alabama. Both of these guys have been nominated for the Outland Trophy, which goes to college football’s best offensive lineman. That’s wild. Leatherwood handles left tackle and Wills works on the right, but that shouldn’t be seen as a knock against Wills’ abilities. The junior isn’t the quickest, but has dominant strength that should translate to the NFL game well.
OT Samuel Cosmi, Texas (Saturday at Iowa State, 3:30 p.m.)
Cosmi is only a redshirt sophomore, but he’s already holding things down at left tackle for Texas. The scouting reports say Cosmi is a touch raw, but he has impressive athleticism that makes him an interesting prospect. That said, he could stand to pack on some weight and strength.
OT Prince Tega Wanogho, Auburn (Saturday vs. Georgia, 3:30 p.m.)
Wanogho came to the U.S. from Nigeria in 2014 in pursuit of a college basketball scholarship. Now he’s an elite NFL prospect. Yes, he’s still raw, given how new he is to the game. But his quickness and length that worked on the basketball court translate to the trenches.
OT Mekhi Becton, Louisville (Saturday vs. N.C. State, 7:30 p.m.)
Becton is stronger in run blocking than he is in pass protection, but he’s passable in that area for now, too. He generally doesn’t overwhelm defenders with his strength, despite standing 6-foot-7 and 330 pounds, but does a nice job of maneuvering them and making it hard to break through his big frame.
C Creed Humphrey, Oklahoma (Saturday at Baylor, 7:30 p.m.)
Humphrey is also in the mix among the nation’s best centers. Better yet? He’s quite young as a redshirt sophomore. He’s also getting a ton of valuable experience this season, as he leads an inexperienced line that was decimated by last year’s draft.
