Offensive Guards/Centers
As usual, only 1 Guard or Center is projected in round 1. The Center position is deeper than usual this year with a number of quality ones going from the 2nd to 4th rounds. Guard position is pretty scarce.
Guards
1. Duke Robinson - Oklahoma
6'5 329, 40-yd dash: 5.27, reps of 225: 20, arms: 34.75
projected: early 2nd round
overall: "The Duke" played LG for the nations best Offensive Line in college. He projects as clearly the first Guard chosen in this class. He'll be plugged right in at LG and is a run blocking mauler. However, due to his big frame, may need quicker footspeed to reach his ultimate potential in the NFL.
2. Andy Levitre - Oregon st
6'3 305, 40-yd dash: 5.26, reps of 225: 23, arms: 32.5
projected: 2nd-3rd round
overall: Levitre is a perfect fit for any team with a zone-blocking protection. He displays good technique but could be a step quicker when pulling.
3. Herman Johnson - LSU
6'7 356, 40-yd dash: 5.53, reps of 225: 21, arms: 36.5
projected: 3rd round
notes: Weighed an incredible 380 in college...mauling run blocker...questionable work ethic and slow footwork..may play RG and RT in the NFL if he's quick enough.
4. Trevor Canfield - Cinncinati
6'5 308, 40-yd dash: 5.30, reps of 225: 32, arms: 32
projected: 3rd-4th round

5. Keith Urbik - Wisconsin
6'5 328, 40-yd dash: 5.25, reps of 225: 29, arms: 33.75
projected: 3rd-4th round

6'2 309, 40-yd dash: 5.39, reps of 225: 22, arms: 33.75
projected: 4th round

6'5 333, 40-yd dash: 5.16, reps of 225: 39, arms: 34.75
projected: 4th round
notes: Did not give up a sack last year, which is very impressive in Texas Tech's offense....a complete beast, put up more reps at the combine then any other lineman...great upside
8. Anthony Parker - Tennessee
6'2 290, 40-yd dash: 5.08, reps of 225: 24, arms: 34.1
projected: 5th round
notes: Consistant starter for Tennessee in college...best fit for a zone blocking system

projected: 6th-7th round

projected: 6th-7th round

16. George Bussey - Louisville
6'2 304, 40-yd dash: 5.2 (projected)
projected: 6th-7th round
notes: Versatile lineman who really could play any position on the line...3 year starter at Louisville that could be perfect fit for a zone blocking scheme
17. Roland Martin - Michigan st
6'5 325, 40-yd dash: 5.4 (projected)
projected: 6th-7th round
notes: Never injured Martin was a model of conistency in college..unfortunately he's going to be a project
18. Greg Isdaner - West Virginia
6'4 325, 40-yd dash: 5.45, reps of 225: 24, arms: 32.5
projected: 6th-7th round
notes: Smart zone blocking lineman who really won't overpower anyone, but shows good technique...Unfortunately, like most of WVU's team, had a down year
Others:
Seth Olsen - Iowa 6'5 305, 40-yd dash: 5.24, reps of 225: 28, arms: 33.1 (projected: 7th)
Roger Allen - Missouri Western 6'3 326, 40-yd dash: 5.4 (projected), arms: 34.75 (projected: 7th-FA)

Centers
1. Alex Mack - California
6'4 311, 40-yd dash: 5.17, reps of 225: 20, arms: 33
projected: 1st round
overall: Mack is one of the best Centers to come out of college in years. He has the total package. He's smart, plays with intensity, anchors the line, and has led the way for 2 NFL RB's (Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett). By the way, he won the academic heisman this year.
2. Max Unger - Oregon
6'5 309, 40-yd dash: 5.27, reps of 225: 22, arms: 33.5
projected: 2nd round
overall: Unger is a mult-talented prospect who can play Center as well as Guard. He may have to really work on his technique, as it is a little raw. A perfect fit for a zone blocking lineman, Unger had to work to even get to 300 pounds.
3. Eric Wood - Louisville
6'4 310, 40-yd dash: 5.17, reps of 225: 30, arms: 33.75
projected: 2nd round
overall: Wood, who seemed to be at Louisville for 8 years, is finally graduated. He never missed a start in his college career and plays with a nastiness that every team's fans would like. Uses very good technique and should be a solid starting center for years to come.
4. Jonathan Luigs - Arkansas
6'4 301, 40-yd dash: 5.14, reps of 225: 26, arms: 31.25
projected: 2nd-3rd round
notes: Blocked for McFadden and Felix Jones at Arkansas...underrated and a former Rimington award winner for the best center in college football..lack of size may be a concern when handling massive NT's
5. Antoine Caldwell - Alabama
6'3 309, 40-yd dash: 5.23, reps of 225: 23, arms: 34
projected: 3rd round
notes: 1st team All-American last year...needs to improve footwork but overall still solid
6. AQ Shipley - Penn st
6'1 304, 40-yd dash: 5.19, reps of 225: 33, arms: 29.75
projected: 4th round
notes: Co-captain and anchor of a solid Penn st offensive line in 2008...has the shortest arms of any center in the draft, which may prove costly...smart and uses good technique
7. Cecil Newton - Tennessee st
6'2 297, 40-yd dash: 5.13, reps of 225: 25
projected: 5th round
notes: Great run blocking lineman who started 3 years at Tenn st...a little undersized
8. Jon Cooper - Oklahoma
6'2 291, 40-yd dash: 5.09, reps of 225: 32, arms: 31.25
projected: 6th-7th round
notes: 2-year starter on an Oklahoma line that was among the nations best...a lack of size and small arms could hurt him

Brett Helms - LSU 6'2 286, 40-yd dash: 5.39, reps of 225: 25, arms: 31.25 (projected: 7th)
