    Centers

    Mike Pollak, Arizona State
    Kory Lichtensteiger, Bowling Green

    Jordan Lipsey, Virginia (moves extremely well, perfect of ZBS)
    Tony Brinkhaus, Minnesota (another Eslinger type guy)

    Zuttah hit it out of the park with his 40 time and his bench press. I think hes around 300 lbs and he's very good at fitting on LBs. He also has a little bit of a mean streak. I watched a lot of his games this year and not once did I see him give up a sack and thats playing at tackle where he had no help to his right. He had been commonly slotted as a 5th or 6th round pick. I can see why he wouldnt be moving up and justifiably so. He's not huge but his strength and ability to move (as is evident in his 40 time and by watching him) can not be disputed. Plus he seems like he's smart. I think he's majoring in economics if memory serves. I dont see how this guy hasnt sent his stock up this weekend. He's easily worth a 4th. I already liked him based on watching his play but having the 2nd most bench reps really is a huge validation. We should really look hard at getting this guy.

    Mike Pollak looks like a Denver type lineman.

    Does he look like an undrafted free agent?

    Mayock has Otah going at #12 ahead of Clady and I've never heard of him. What's his story?

    Clady is a zbs type tackle... some of the teams looking for O-line help would rather Otah who is the bigger mauler type player. Clady is a weaker more athletic type tackle who comes from the WAC conference, so that probably hurts him a little as well.

    i don't know about his story, but he looked stiff in his movements, and they kept mentioning that he was playing too high in the drills.

    i was unimpressed, but to be fair he is a huge guy.

    i wish clady would have been able to work out.

    chris williams looked very mobile and jeff zuttah was very impressive to me in drills and bench.

    Otah won't do well at the combine... I think everyone knows that was a given. The combine has to many drills that are more for the athletic type players. Huge guys like Otah always look bad.... if you watch him in some of the power drills, he is a monster.

    Kind of stinks that Zuttah did so well. Before the combine he would of probably been a 6th or 7th round pick...He probably jumped him self up to a 5th rounder if not earlier.

    Yeah, plus you now the mock doesnt work as well. Actually, I had already seen him as a 5 or 6. Im thinking he's more like a 4 now. In several of my mocks during the year, I had us spending a 5th rd pick on him. Id actually like to see him possibly play center.
