Guards and Centers

A.J. Cann, G, South Carolina

Height: 6'4"
Weight: 314 lbs.
Age: 23

The top interior lineman in the country since mid-season, Cann has done nothing to lose his spot as the presumptive first non-tackle off the board come April. His size is a major asset for a team with a power running game, and he's been a permanent team captain since 2013.

Cameron Erving, C, Florida State

Height: 6'5"
Weight: 309 lbs.
Age: 22

An athlete that has played all over the field on both sides of the ball in college, Erving's versatility will make him very attractive to a number of NFL teams. Moving from tackle to center, he possesses the smooth athleticism that pass protection-starved teams will covet. 

Josue Matias, G, Florida State

Height: 6'6"
Weight: 331 lbs.
Age: 22

Leap-frogging fellow Florida State guard Tre' Jackson to become the Seminoles' most draft-ready guard this season, Matias has improved technically, which could get him drafted on Day 2.

Reese Dismukes, C, Auburn

Height: 6'3"
Weight: 295 lbs.
Age: 22

Dismukes's fluid movement along the line has him pinned as an ideal fit for a zone-blocking scheme, but the Auburn product could be scooped up by any team looking to mold a good athlete to their scheme. 

Jarvis Harrison, G, Texas A&M

Height: 6'4"
Weight: 320 lbs.
Age: 23

Touted as a prospect with good burst but a low blocking motor coming into 2014, Harrison improved throughout the season to advance his draft stock. A number of good offensive line prospects have come out of A&M of late (Luke Joeckel, Jake Matthews), so that may help him.

Tre' Jackson, G, Florida State

Height: 6'4"
Weight: 330 lbs.
Age: 22

Another three-year starter from Florida State makes the list and he could give the Seminoles three of the first six interior-line draft picks off the board if he works out well at the combine. Jackson needs to prove he won't be susceptible to interior pass rushes at the next level.
