In this episode, we explore the top interior offensive linemen (IOL) prospects in the highly anticipated 2024 NFL Draft.
Guards (G):
Graham Barton - Duke: A versatile lineman who played left tackle in college but is projected to transition to guard in the NFL. Despite issues with high-end speed rushers, Barton's agility and pulling skills make him a late first-round pick.
Cooper Beebe - Kansas State: Beebe, with a strong base and intelligence, played multiple positions in college but saw most snaps at left guard. His length and footwork are areas for improvement, making him a late second-round prospect.
Christian Haynes - Connecticut: A road-grading right guard with average mobility, Haynes is considered a late second to third-round pick due to his slow start and movement.
Christian Mahogany - Boston College: Mahogany, primarily a right guard, displays strength and good technique but struggles with forward leaning and hand placement. He's projected as a third-round pick.
Zak Zinter - Michigan: Zinter, a right guard with impressive size and intelligence, faces concerns about his recovery from a broken tibia and fibula. He's expected to go in the third to fourth round.
Trevor Keegan - Michigan: With solid fundamentals but limitations in athleticism, Keegan is projected as a day three pick due to his length and pad level issues.
Javion Cohen - Miami: Cohen, a left guard, possesses agility and good footwork but struggles with short arms and aggressiveness. He's considered a day three prospect.
Lauden Robinson - Texas A&M: Quick off the snap but lacking athleticism, Robinson is projected as a day three pick with strengths in pass blocking and hand usage.
Centers (C):
Jackson Powers-Johnson - Oregon: A mean-streak center with quickness and strength, Powers-Johnson is a late first-round prospect despite rawness and issues against experienced rushers.
Zach Frazier - West Virginia: Frazier, known for excellent run blocking and a strong anchor, faces concerns about lateral movement. He's projected as a second-round pick.
Sedrick Van Pran - Georgia: An athletic and agile center with inconsistent pass protection technique, Van Pran is expected to go in the late second to third round.
Beaux Limmer - Arkansas: Limmer, displaying intelligence and good range, faces pass protection issues and overaggressiveness. He's a third to fourth-round prospect.
Hunter Nourzad - Penn State: With quick feet and agility, Nourzad is projected as a day three pick due to concerns about pass protection technique.
Tanor Bortolini - Wisconsin: Bortolini, an athletic center with struggles in maintaining blocks, is considered a day three prospect due to his aggressiveness.
These prospects offer a mix of strengths and weaknesses, providing NFL teams with various options to bolster their offensive lines in the upcoming draft.
