Round 2 • Pick 25
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
With his combination of functional strength and body control, Whitehair might be one of the safest offensive linemen in the entire draft. He will almost assuredly be bumped inside to guard, but could be considered at center as well. He has the confidence and talent to start right away and his run blocking should improve as he gets more comfortable firing out from a three-point stance. Whitehair has the ability to be a very good starter with a ceiling that could reach the all-pro level.

Round 1 • Pick 31
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
It wasn't long ago scouts were beating up former Texas A&M tackle Cedric Ogbuehi about a disappointing season before he went 21st overall in the draft even with a torn ACL. NFL scouts see Ifedi as a guard, but a team may decide to try him at tackle before moving him inside. Ifedi has the tools and traits to become a good NFL offensive linemen if he can avoid the leaning and lunging that plagues him. A move inside combined with NFL coaching could unlock Ifedi's high ceiling.

Round 1 • Pick 28
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Thick, powerful guard who can gain an early advantage in the rep and finish with authority. Garnett looks to establish a new line of scrimmage on every running play and is a great fit for a team looking to impose their will between the tackles. While he’s a plus run blocker, his pass protection issues should not be taken lightly and will have to be vetted with offensive line coaches to make sure they are correctable issues. Garnett should be an early round pick who can come in and start right away.

Round 5 • Pick 22
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Quick-twitch, athletic guard who comes from a football family and has been working on his strength and athleticism from a young age. Offensive line coaches will appreciate Westerman's technical savvy and zone scheme teams will covet his fluidity and blocking ability on the move. A move to center is not out of the question thanks to his body type and quickness and his draft stock may be helped by a potential ability to offer roster depth at several offensive line positions.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Landon Turner is a very easy evaluation in my estimation because his strengths and weaknesses are so obvious. Turner is a road grader deluxe whose size and power will have teams who covet those traits licking their chops. However, he’s no dancing bear and they will have to be OK with his potential concerns against quickness in pass protection.

Round 2 • Pick 19
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Three-year starter who possesses the leadership, intelligence and toughness that general managers and offensive line coaches look for from their centers. A season ending knee injury in 2013 might have taken away some of his natural bend and athleticism, but Martin's play strength and toughness should make him an early starter in the league at either guard or center.

Round 3 • Pick 34
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Well-built college tackle who NFL evaluators are projecting inside to guard. Has the footwork and technique to allow a team to give him a shot at right tackle first. Odhiambo is a coachable, team-oriented player who has the temperament, frame and strength needed to play inside, but could see his draft stock take a round or two hit if teams doubt that he can be a consistently healthy player in the pros. Odhiambo should be a fit for all schemes.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Stocky, prototypical right guard with the power to unclog running lanes and help a rushing attack looking to dominate with the physical over the finesse. Greene lacks the length NFL teams usually look for but his tremendous power could be an offset. His NCAA suspension for drugs will be heavily vetted before teams decide to pull the trigger on Greene, but the power and NFL ability is there.

Round 5 • Pick 5
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Three-year starter who has played guard and both tackle spots. While he has the power and frame of a guard, there are some teams who may give him a shot at right tackle first. McGovern still has some work to do in pass protection, but shows potential to be a starter in the league. He is an ascending prospect whose stock should rise thanks to his power and multi-position diversity.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Seumalo proved that he was back from a foot injury that sidelined him for all of 2014 with the same foot quickness and technical talent that he had before his injury. Seumalo can play anywhere on the interior, but his best position might be at center thanks to his core strength and overall anchor.

Round 5 • Pick 12
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Average athlete, but a good football player. Dahl fights through his limitations using determination and toughness. He will have to make a move inside and needs to continue to hit the training table and weight room to add even more mass to his frame. Dahl has potential as a drive blocking guard but needs to play with better hand placement to maximize results. Dahl projects as an eventual starting guard.

Round 6 • Pick 18
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Tretola plays with the in-your-face power and toughness that has been a perfect fit for Bret Bielema's, physical rushing attack in Arkansas. While he has the power to be one of the more physical NFL guards as soon as he steps into a camp, his stiffness and marginal athleticism could limit his draft stock and the amount of teams willing to consider him. Tretola could be an eventual starter in the league, but it will likely be for a team looking to grind it out between the tackles.

Round 7 • Pick 13
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Teams will no doubt be intrigued by Alexander's length, size and power, but this year should have proved that his only position in the pros is at guard and that his lack of athleticism could limit which teams will consider him in the draft. Alexander has enough power in tight quarters to win one-on-one battles, but his lack of balance and functional footwork will diminish his success rate as a block finisher. It might be Alexander's best interest to lean down in an attempt to improve his quickness and overall body control if he is to become a consistent, NFL player.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Former defensive lineman who, with more experience at guard, should be able to unlock more of his nasty once he’s able to react more and think less. His lack of experience and technique make him a project, but he has drive blocking traits that should be fleshed out by teams looking for power at guard. While the move inside should play more to Ferris’ strengths, his issues with pass protection will take much more time to correct.

Scouts are picking holes in his game, but the tape shows a player who consistently performed his job and who improved throughout his first season as a starter. Jackson lacks the athleticism and length to play tackle and will likely have to bump down inside, but with his thick trunk, core strength and body control, Jackson should be able to come in as a backup and may be an eventual starter in the league.

Round 5 • Pick 29
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
While he has NFL power in his upper body, that power could be mitigated because he allows defenders into his framework too quickly. Drango has decent pass protection technique, an anchor and the toughness for an interior line spot, but scouts question whether or not he has a "hang your hat on" play trait that can make him anything more than a backup or a low-end starter.

Steady right guard with an NFL-ready frame and good toughness for the interior. Kasitati has the power to stalemate his base blocks and secure his down blocks, but he has some athletic limitations that could limit his scheme fit. Kasitati may or may not be drafted, but he has enough ability to compete for a backup spot on an NFL roster.

Redmond is a very good athlete for the guard position but may not have the strength or frame to stick long term even with a zone scheme team. He has some talent and field intelligence and his best chance might be to continue to add as much bulk as he can and then try and make the move inside as a zone-scheme center with range.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Thuney is a three-year starter who has shown overall improvement in all aspects of his game and the position diversity that offensive line coaches love and need. Unfortunately, his lack of foot quickness and arm length make him an unlikely NFL tackle and his core strength and frame deficiencies will make a move to guard very difficult. Ultimately, center might be his only NFL shot.

Combine with center and teammate Austin Blythe to become an extremely consistent tandem that helped to spring the running game this season. Walsh plays with good hand usage and his play strength isn't bad for his size, but unless he's hiding weight somewhere, a move to center might be in his future.

Cheek is built like a tackle, but played guard at Texas A&M thanks in large part to the outstanding tackle talent that has come through the program. Cheek's lack of play strength could limit his draft prospects as a guard, but his stock could be helped out quite a bit if teams work him out as a tackle and like what they see.

Pass protection from 2015 was problematic at right tackle, but his guard tape from 2014 was more promising and showed a better fit for his strengths. Maiava’s issue with balance and body control could make him an inconsistent blocker in both the run and pass, but he will step up and whip his man from time to time. There is enough to like that gives him a shot at making a run in camp and potentially finding a practice squad.

Aggressive three-year starter at guard for the Sun Devils who is more worker bee than standout on the college level. He has just enough strength and just enough functional movement skills to have a shot in the NFL, but he may always fall prey to early length and late strength from players across from him. Teofilo might be limited to a backup role in the pros, but he could help his cause by proving he can snap the ball and play some center as well.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Primarily a tackle in college, some evaluators do not believe he has enough overall length to be considered as a tackle prospect, but rather a guard. Lucas does a respectable job as a college lineman, but a jump in competition at the professional level could expose some physical flaws that won't be easily correctable. Lucas could make it into an NFL camp at some point.

Ehringer has the size to be an NFL tackle, but doesn’t have enough athletic ability to be a successful tackle in pass protection. While some may project Ehringer inside due to his lack of quickness, a lack of functional strength at the point of attack could doom that move as well.

Round 7 • Pick 3
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Wide-bodied guard prospect who has been able to handle his business at tackle when called on, but who lacks the athleticism to play outside in the pros. Clark’s inability to sustain blocks and make the most of his power stems, in part, from a very narrow play base and that could be challenging to correct. His intelligence and toughness give him a shot at making a roster.
