Most NFL personnel execs really like this OL class but the rankings are all over the map. The 3rd OT for one team might be the 6th or 7th for another.

I'm a Slater over Sewell guy. A bunch of teams are in the same boat. Everyone seems to agree it's them and everyone else.

That's part of it. Leatherwood is a great example though...some see as top 40 pick, others view him as 4th round type player.

Honestly, took a couple iso looks at Leatherwood. I saw too much standing around.

Darrisaw shows why he's a 1st rounder and what some people don't like about him. See the 3rd clip. Does a great job of reach blocking the inside zone run, but then just stands there. 

He's a near perfect fit for us. Big, strong, quick, long arms, comes from an inside/outside zone offense, run blocks well, pass blocks well, reach blocks well. If you can get him to play to the whistle, you'd really have something.

Next to Sewell, he's the best fit for what we do. Time to start banging the table for Darrisaw and Robinson draft combo.

Of course, Cosmi is the type of athlete we like at OT.

Interesting cha with DL coach today. We were discussing building an OL. This was our big takeaway- More important how good your worst guy is than how great your best guy is. Defenses attack your worst guy every week. You can improve your worst starters with 2nd & 3rd rd picks.

Been saying this for years, you are only as strong as your weakest link.  With horrific inside play for the last 3 years, it's no wonder why this OL, which has talent performs poorly overall.  

WE DO NOT NEED 5 ALL PROs, we need our worst lineman to be NFL average.  So our LG, who is projected to be our worst performer this year, if he is NFL average this is a super bowl team.  

Two NFL average G's (which Cleveland is already at, with nothing but upside to be very good), will make Bradberry much better.  A strong wall up front will allow tackles to focus on their man and trust on stunts, which will make our OL much better.  A quality 5 up front from NFL average to maybe an elite RT, would do wonders on a team with all of these weapons.

Get a OT in either 14# or Zeus, draft a G in the 3rd to compete with Cole.  Hope that LG/RG, etc which will be our weakest link can be NFL average

Average? Hell, I'd settle for a mediocre LG.

So starting the two worst guards in the league( Samia & Dozier) had to confuse the shit out of ‘em...!  ;)

. Spencer Brown, OT, Northern Iowa
This is one of the best overall athletes in the class and a unique player in general. Brown’s testing, at 6-foot-8, 310 pounds, was ridiculous. A 4.88-second 40 with a 4.44-second shuttle and a 7.03-second three-cone. He benched 29 reps and had a 9-foot, 9-inch broad jump. Brown flashed some really solid stretches in team drills at the Senior Bowl and basically had a Tristan Wirfs-level pro day at tackle.

Just like Humphrey at center, Brown’s athletic traits are basically perfect for his position. You could argue he’s almost too tall, but not with how well he bends and moves. His game still needs polish, but Brown’s odds of still being on the board come Day 3 seem to be decreasing quickly.
