1.
Alex Mack,
California
Ht - 6-4, Wt - 316, 40 - 5.10
"He
won the Draddy (academic Heisman) and any team wanting a smart football
player gets him to play center for 10 years. We say that a lot, but in
his case it's true. He said he was "humbled" when he first got to Cal
by Brandon Mebane (now with Seahawks) and I don't think anyone has done
that to him since. Line literally crumbled around him. They started a
frosh at LT and soph at LG in the Emerald Bowl plus a soph at RT. They
lost starting LT/LG early and two more tackles. To get the rushing they
did this season when EVERYONE knew they were running and with not much
around him was unreal to watch on a weekly basis. The hyperbole where
he is concerned is warranted. Might be best center prospect in our
lifetime." - from Gregory Cox
2. Max Unger, Oregon
Ht - 6-5, Wt - 300, 40 - 5.10
Could get drafted before Mack
because Unger has the ability to play all 5 positions on the
line. Could be drafted in the first round purely because of his
versatility. Best utilized as a center or right tackle. One
of the most interesting offensive line prospects in years.
3. Eric Wood,
Louisville
Ht - 6-4, Wt - 310, 40 - 5.15
In almost any other year, would be the top center prospect in the
draft. Has the ability to play guard as well.
4. Jonathan Luigs, Arkansas
Ht - 6-4, Wt - 314, 40 - 5.20
5. Antoine Caldwell,
Alabama
Ht - 6-3, Wt - 292, 40 - 5.10
6. A.Q. Shipley, Penn State
Ht - 6-1, Wt - 300, 40 - 5.30
7. Edwin Williams,
Maryland
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 308, 40 - 5.47
8. Cecil Newton,
Tennessee St.
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 305, 40 - 5.20
9. Brett Helms, LSU
