DRAFT TRACKER 2014

Outstanding-sized, barrel-chested finesse pivot with center-guard versatility. Grades out highly as a position-sustain blocker and possesses untappped strength and power in his body. Lacks desirable grit, toughness and finishing strength to maximize his talent and is stronger than he plays. Has instant-starter potential as a center or right guard, but could stand to benefit from some time to be groomed.

Experienced, dependable pivot who lacks starter-caliber power and athleticism. Lack of versatility hurts his chances, and he will have to survive on smarts, leadership and competitiveness.

A compactly built, light-footed pivot with that elevated his draft standing after clocking sub-5.0-flat 40 times at his pro day workout. Has the size, power and agility to eventually compete for a starting job.

A functional positional blocker who lacks the foot quickness, athletic ability and strength desired in a starter, yet consistently finds a way to get the job done and overcome his physical limitations. Intelligence and intangibles are off the charts and could allow him to capture and hold onto a starting job. The sum is better than the parts.

Very good-sized mauler functions well in a phone booth. Possesses the strength and power to match up vs. big bodies. The farther he is asked to move, the more he will struggle and would be best in a man-blocking power scheme.

A top-heavy, barrel-chested, thick-bodied, short-area blocker, Bodine plays with a gritty football demeanor. Swing-interior versatility adds to his value.

Big, experienced, wall-off zone blocker with a ceiling as a serviceble starter, though questionable versatility detracts from his appeal in a league offering few center-only spots. Has to be a masterful technician given his short arms and pedestrian athleticism.

Adequate-sized, smart, experienced, competitive center who commanded the offensive line, made all the calls and was a team leader for the Rams. At worst, should stick as a backup, but has developmental value and starter potential in a zone scheme. Could help himself by proving versatile enough to back up at guard.

Good-sized, bump-and-steer blocker ideally suited for a zone-blocking, slide-protection scheme. Smart, tough technician capable of serving as an interior swing backup and could eventually fend for a starting job as a pivot. Will be best developed by a patient, respectful position coach.

Strong-bodied, heavy-handed, short-area mauler who anchored one of the nation’s most physical, productive rushing attacks. Has athletic limitations, but compensates with strength, smarts and competitiveness. Has the makeup to overachieve, and could increase his value by proving versatile enough to back up at guard.

Stiff-legged, underpowered, bump-and-steer zone blocker who will struggle to match up against the size and power of NFL defensive tackles. Best chance to stick will be as a swing interior backup in a slide-protection scheme. Left-hander who snaps right-handed and gun-snaps left-handed.

Adequate-sized, smart, strong, scrappy, decorated Division II center who lacks exceptional athletic traits for the pro game. Faces a big jump in competition, but has a chance to stick as a swing backup if his versatility translates. Also competed in track and field (throws shot put), which affected his year-round football training.

A converted defensive lineman and former walk-on, Paradis is a stoutly built, intelligent, hard-nosed overachiever who will make it difficult for coaches to cut him.

A big, strong, light-footed interior player who is best working angles with simple assignments. Has a chance to earn a spot if he can cut down on mental mistakes, learn to play with more consistent knee bend and handle penetrators lined over the top of him.

Try-hard, overachiever lacking ideal size, bulk strength and agility to handle NFL glass-eaters. Has enough grit and football intelligence to fend for a roster spot, but limited versatility will diminish his chances.

Short-armed, grab-and-grapple type blocker with average physical traits who lacks experience vs. NFL-caliber defensive tackles and did not physically dominate MAC competition. Best chance is in a zone-blocking scheme, though he's a very average athlete who will have to get by with smarts and a junkyard dog mentality.

Underpowered, strength-deficient, hit-and-whiff pivot lacking consistency and athletic talent.
