Keep an eye on OL short shuffle this week at the combine. The magic number is 4.47 or better.

Since 2010, just 28 Offensive Linemen recorded a 4.47 short shuttle or better at the NFL Combine

24 were drafted

Those 24 went on to start 84% of their NFL games. It's a cheat code.

Kingsley Sumataia and Patrick Paul have got to be the two most overrated OT prospects this draft cycle. Look like late 3rd and 5th round picks respectively to me.

I like the raw potential of both of them but they'll both be overdrafted. I do wonder if Sumataia wouldn't work a lot better playing RG.

Frazier for me. IMO more powerful, more nasty than Barton. Plus an amazing football IQ.

"He's gonna set the standard with how he works. He's extremely intelligent. From a football standpoint, for us, he was a quarterback for our offensive line. He made all our identification, in both the run game and the pass game. He has a deep understanding of making sure we get our five on their five," Brown said."

Frazier for me because I trust him more at RG where I expect a rookie future center would start out anyways based on Kyle's tendencies. Frazier is just this ornery dude that wants to smash people over but is also very intelligent and has tremendous awareness and would help shore up the right side of the OL next season.

Call me nuts but I'd love to walk out of the draft with a new starting center or guard and strong developmental prospects at guard and tackle that could compete for starting spots early on.

We have a golden opportunity to upgrade our entire center to right side of the line.

I think we could find a new C, RG, and RT in this class. We need to, honestly, in order to keep ourselves sustained under the cap without losing too many important players.

I actually think he would transition fantastically to RG.

This is one reason why I grade him a top 75 pick still. A think his versatility as a RT/RG boosts him significantly. He has enormous upside as tackle, but to be honest, I think even if that didn't work out, he might be a Pro Bowl caliber guard.
