Brandon Scherff, Iowa
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 320 lbs.
Age: 23
Scherff is a powerful run blocker who displays incredible upper-body strength and good hand placement. If you haven't seen the viral video of him cleaning 443 pounds three times, do yourself a favor and watch it.
Andrus Peat, Stanford
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 312 lbs.
Age: 21
Peat has the ideal size for an offensive tackle, with long arms, broad shoulders and a thick lower body. He's also quick on his feet and generally shows good hand placement in both run blocking and pass protection.
T.J. Clemmings, Pittsburgh
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 307 lbs.
Age: 23
A former defensive end turned offensive tackle, Clemmings has been touted as one of the most intriguing offensive-line prospects of the 2015 draft class. His technique in pass protection could use some work, but his size, strength and athleticism should entice a number of teams.
La'el Collins, LSU
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 308 lbs.
Age: 21
Collins started 38 out of a possible 45 games during his time at LSU and was awarded the Jacobs Blocking Trophy in 2014 as the SEC's most outstanding blocker. He's quick off the snap and reads opposing defenses well.
Cedric Ogbuehi, Texas A&M
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 300 lbs.
Age: 22
Ogbuehi's draft stock took a bit of a hit after he suffered a torn ACL in the Aggies' Liberty Bowl win, but he has enough athletic upside for teams to be willing to take a gamble on him. He displays a rare combination of length and agility, and is impressive in both the run and pass game.
Ereck Flowers, Miami
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 324 lbs.
Age: 21
Flowers started four games at right tackle as a true freshman in 2012 before moving to the left side, where he's started ever since. He boasts a massive frame and has the quickness and agility needed to excel in pass protection.
Daryl Williams, Oklahoma
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 330 lbs.
Age: n/a
Williams isn't the most athletic of the bunch, but he has a great attitude and work ethic. He started all 13 games at right tackle in 2014 and was a key member of the Sooners' rushing attack, which finished atop the Big 12 with 3,395 yards.
Ty Sambrailo, Colorado State
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 309 lbs.
Age: 22
Sambrailo played a big role in Colorado State's offensive success in 2014, starting 11 games and helping the Rams to their best record (10-3) since 2000. A former nationally-ranked skier, Sambrailo has the ability to play both left and right tackle or guard at the NFL level.
