Blalock is a pure powerhouse who uses his strength and leverage to literally move defenders from his path. He uses a "hump" move that is reminiscent of Reggie White where his balance and strength enables him to almost throw people around. His great balance and technique do not make up for the fact that he is not very good on the move, where he has a hard time initiating contact and is rarely able to reach the second level. In the box, he is the best guard in the draft but he needs some coaching to improve his agility. Blalock would be best suited for a power running style of ball control offense where he could wear the defense down.

Beekman is a natural guard who has every tool you need to be great on the O-line. He has great awareness and is not fooled by line stunts and he uses his hands better than any of the guards in this class. His agility gets him to the second level and when he gets there he arrives with "pancaking" power. He gets the position and quite possibly will end up as the best guard in this years graft. Beekman could fit any style of offense and would be able to start if needed very early if not immediately.

Grubbs has some great footwork and is very adept at pulling and sealing the corners in run blocking. His best asset however is his ability to reach the second level with ease and use his quickness to engage and re-route the linebackers. He could be a little quicker with his hands in pass protect but once he gets his hands on you he has the power to control and guide defenders where he wants them. Grubbs would fit great in a trapping type of west coast offense where his agility would be best served.

Yanda might well be his own best friend because he could play guard or tackle in the NFL and thus making him a needed commodity. He does everything very well in pass protect from balance to hand fighting. He is a very hard worker who will get to the linebackers if that is where he needs to be no matter what. The only real problem may be that he is slow out of his stance and sometimes get too high upon contact but that is being a little picky. He arrives with authority and has a mean streak about him that I personally love. The team that takes Yanda gets a versatile lineman who could fit in any style of offense, the only question is at what position.

Sears has a lot of upside but his weaknesses are glaring at times. He, like Beekman is great with his hands and finishes his blocks with great leg drive and push. He is quicker in pads than you might expect but is still in need of some work with his balance in open space. With Sears you get a run blocking guard who is in need of work in his pass blocking where speed beats him far too often. He would fit best in a run first type of offense where he could work in shorter areas and utilize his leg drive.

Alleman lacks experience at the position, but that is all he lacks. He is great in open space and can get to the second level with his hard work and speed. He is rough around the edges but some fine tuning and he will be great at the next level. He uses his hands well and knows how to create leverage with hand fighting from his days on the D-line at Pitt. His ability to work well on the move helps his cause tremendously but he does need some work on his technique in pass and run blocking. He would fit best in a trapping, run first style of offense where he can use his speed and athleticism.

Duckworth is a very aggressive player, if you don't find him, he'll come find you. He has great initial pop but sometimes relies on it to heavily and doesn't stay with the blocks long enough. When he does maintain contact, which is most of the time, he has great leg drive and arm push to finish every block. His aggression sometime causes him to be out of position at times but that can be tempered with a few wind sprints in August. He is a very sound guard and he uses his tools very well in all aspects of the game. He would fit best in a power offense where his aggression is a plus for the offense.

Wrotto lacks experience at the position but that is all he lacks. That was not a typo. His game is very similar to Alleman's but he has a little more bite to his bark and a little less step to his dance. Wrotto is more of an initial contact player than he is a drive blocker and that along with his balance will need to improve. He uses his long arms to finish blocks well and if you let up you'll find yourself "freight trained". His inability to keep contact or remain balanced in pass protect make him a project that a team will need to groom before turning him loose. With work he could fit into most NFL offensive schemes but it won't be immediate.

Show me something other than pass protection and I could rank Ramirez more accurately. Even in the run gam e at Tech they used a pass blocking play action scheme on 99% of their runs. When they did run he showed great ability to seal off defenders and get his hips turned to seal the block. In his pass blocking he is an immovable object and is unlikely to be pushed backwards one-on-one, even in the NFL. To put it bluntly he is a barrel chested powerhouse who if used correctly should be a road grader in the run game.He should fit best in any offense that wants a Pershing Tank in the middle of it's offensive line, and who couldn't use one of those.

Frye is another of those guys that are hard to define because of his great strength but lack of experience. He is a very strong guy who controls defenders with his long arms and upper body strength. This however is also his downfall because he attempts to man-handle everyone and forget to move his feet. He is a project player but one worth taking a chance on without question because leg drive is taught through repetition on the practice field, something he should get plenty of before he is asked to start. Frye can play tackle or guard and his strength could land him in pretty much any situation in the NFL.
