2010 NFL Draft: Offensive tackles

Looks like an elite prospect in pass-pro. Has good height and reach. A quick bucket step. Able to kick slide to the edge quickly. Has a quick get up. An agile player who moves well on the field. Is not overly strong or menacing as a drive blocker. Looks for kill shot too often.

epending on who you ask, Bulaga is considered a top three offensive tackle in the 2010 NFL Draft. What he brings to the table is a high-level of competition, a good track record and the ability to start from day one as a left tackle in the NFL. Bulaga is a finished product, but this also means he lacks the upside and potential of other prospects.

- Scouting report -

One of the top recruits in school history, Davis is a very good run blocker thanks to his frame that is powerful throughout. Against the pass rush, he does well redirecting rushers to the far outside. Has had some knocks about his effort and consistency.

- Scouting report -

Williams' draft stock fluctuated for a lot of 2009 after switching from right tackle to left tackle. Although the left is where Williams has said he wants to play, he's clearly better on the right side. Before his senior year, he started 25 games on the right side and was one of the best blockers in the country.

- Scouting report -

Brown really burst onto the scouting scene when he shut down Penn State's Aaron Maybin in the 2009 Rose Bowl. A converted tight end, Brown is loaded with upside. He has as much potential as any lineman in this year's draft. To realize it, however, Brown needs to get much stronger and more aggressive in the run game. His pass protection is ready for the NFL, but his run blocking is not.

- Scouting report -

Campbell is one of the most intriguing players in this year’s draft. He’s an incredible athlete for an offensive lineman and a natural left tackle. His quickness, upper body strength and size make him ready for the NFL right now, even though he came out following his junior season.

- Scouting report -

Saffold could line up at either left tackle or guard. He's a talented blocker with solid athleticism and great lower body strength. He uses solid technique and really came on during the offseason process.

- Scouting report -

After just six years of playing organized football, Vladimir Ducasse has developed in to one of the more intriguing prospects in the 2010 draft class. When his technique is on, Ducasse possesses big time power that can send a jolt to his man.

- Scouting report -

Black is very similar to the man he replaced at LSU, Andrew Whitworth. He’s big and strong but not a good athlete. Because of that, he might be a right tackle at best in the NFL. Guard might be an even more appropriate location as he’s a very good run blocker.

- Scouting report -

Like most West Virginia linemen, Capers might fit best in a zone-blocking scheme. He's moves around well and really attacks defenders in the open field. Capers excels at keeping in front of his opponent and keeping them on the outside. Where Capers struggles is when he has to block in line. He doesn't have the strength to maintain blocks for long and will get his legs tangled up.

Calloway is a natural right tackle who has also seen time on the left side. He's big and physical at the point of attack and can neutralize bull rushing ends. He's a poor man's Phil Loadholt in that he's a very good run blocker but has athleticism issues in pass blocking.

A top recruit out of high school, Young was only a decent player for the Fighting Irish. What he lacks in athleticism, Young makes up for in size and strength. He's strictly a power right tackle but has good length.

Scott could play right tackle or either of the guard spots. That versatility gives him some added value. He has deceptive quickness and fires out of his stance with a lot of aggression. Needs to learn how to be more of a knee bender.

Fox is a converted tight end who displays a good first step to the outside. He moves to the second level well and locates and gets to defenders nicely. He's improving as a run blocker but clearly needs to continue working on his strength. Fox has some good tools, but must continue to work on the nuances of the position. He has some added value because of his versatility playing tackle and guard.

A converted tight end, Wang is one of the more athletic senior tackles in the nation. He's played both tackle positions showing continued improvement in all aspects. Where he needs to get much better is his physical play. If he becomes more of a mauler, he'll be a starter-level player.

Tepper is yet another power lineman in this year's class. He's strictly a right tackle, but he has great length and strength. Tepper doesn't have great athleticism and will have to fit in a scheme like the one used in Dallas or Minnesota.

It's hard to judge Veldheer as a top talent considering the extremely low level of competition he faced. What he looks like, though, is a strong developmental tackle with solid athleticisim. Definitely a project.

- Scouting report -

Ulatoski has shown he has the tools to be a complete tackle prospect but his technique is lacking. He's a strong, high-motor blocker who likes to knock around opponents.

Thomas is a personal favorite and a super sleeper. He may go undrafted, but he has some upside to play both guard and tackle spots. He's a high-effort blocker with solid athleticism. But he's not especially strong and may need at least a year on a practice squad to build up his pro strength.

Although he may not have the size to hold up at tackle, Landolt could bring value to a team as a backup who can play tackle and guard. He's more quick and powerful and has good footwork.
