OTs in the draft

I keep hearing that this draft is pretty deep with talented OTs. Anyone else of a similar opinion? Any suggestions on a good list of them?

The Rams really need an OT, along with lots of other things, and I'm wondering about the talent available at that position early in the second round.

Also, thoughts on other teams needing help at OT and might be looking for someone in the draft?

OT might be deepest position for 1st round

Since the Steelers need so much help on OL, I've tried to stay dialed in on the first round talent at OT. The Chiefs are another team that seem to need alot of help on the OL.

The list of first round OT is pretty long:

Jake Long
Jeff Otah
Sam Baker
Micheal Oher (JR)
Ryan Clady (JR)
Barry Richardson (New Era Scouting has him falling to St. Louis in thier first 'mock' draft.)

Oher backs out of draft

Oher has decided to return to Ole Miss for his senoir season just two days after declaring himself eligble for the draft. Underclassmen have three days to change thier mind as long as they don't hire an agent.

While this isn't devastating by any means, it does lower the 'second tier' of OT from 3 (Oher, Otah, and Baker) to 2. Long and Clady seem to have seperated from the pack and are a clear cut #1 and #2 so far with Oher and Otah muddled at 3 & 4. Is there somebody that we're missing Matt?

That's a shame.

Oher was one of my favorite guys. A true physical freak.
He's making the right decision, though. The guy could be next year's Jake Long.
As for other offensive linemen, I'd put Gosder Cherilus in the second tier.

Cherilus

I had him just below that second tier because I don't know if he can play LT at the pro level. He really struggled there in his first season, but I guess he could improve.
