DRAFTED BY
Indianapolis Colts
Round 1 • Pick 6
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Elite guard prospect with outstanding size, rare power and a block finisher who can make tape room sessions uncomfortable for most opponents. Nelson is technically sound and is unlikely to face a long adjustment period once he gets into the league. Nelson may need to make sure and keep his play speed high and prevent against taking his eyes off of his target when coming off the ball. Nelson has the traits and talent to become an All-Pro guard for years to come.

Round 2 • Pick 2
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Four-year starter at left guard and the most highly-decorated offensive linemen in UTEP history. Hernandez possesses a rare combination of power, balance, and athletic ability. He is a plus run blocker with the anchor and footwork to handle himself in pass protection as well. Though he lacks height and length teams would like, it shouldn't hurt his stock much. Hernandez did nothing but help his cause at the Combine and he has a great shot of going in the first round and becoming a Pro-Bowl caliber guard.

Round 2 • Pick 18
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Williams has been a personal favorite since studying his freshman season, but his 2017 tape didn't match his previous body of work. Williams seemed to lose some lateral quickness and had troubles holding up at a high level in protection. A move to guard or center is a possibility depending on how his arm length measures out. Williams is a plus run blocker with plug-and-play technique across the board. If he regains his 2016 form, he will be a good NFL starter. If not, he'll be an average NFL starter.

Round 2 • Pick 1
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Corbett won't blow you away with any of his measurables or play traits, but he's solid in most areas. Corbett is definitely sharp enough to move inside to guard or even center and has good technique, but his average to below average play strength and lack of length may be a concern. He has the size and talent to compete for a guard/center spot early on, but he may elevate above an average starter during his career.

Round 2 • Pick 5
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Braden Smith has an NFL-ready frame and will impress evaluators with the eyeball test. When the eyeballs are focused on the tape, they will see a player who is more than capable of matching power with power, but can be too regimented in his movement and overall play. Smith is a grinder whose play could vary greatly based upon the matchup across from him. He has size and power, but the holes in his game are unlikely to be patched up with coaching. He can become an average to solid starter.

Detroit Lions
Round 5 • Pick 16
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Evaluators may stick with Crosby at right tackle in the pros, but his issues with hip tightness and gaining enough ground to the edge in pass protection may force a move inside to guard sooner rather than later. Crosby has technical issues to smooth out, but he will appeal to teams who covet size, length and strength as he puts big checkmarks in those boxes. Crosby is a bulldozer who can generate good movement in the run game, but he lacks the body control for desired consistency at tackle or guard. He has NFL starting talent but he may have a limited ceiling.

Round 3 • Pick 30
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Cappa has the size, toughness and movement skills to push his way up the draft board with a strong week of Senior Bowl practices. Conversely, a poor week of practice could bury his stock as his level of competition hasn't offered up challenges on tape to fall back on for scouts who like him. Cappa is a better run blocker than pass protector at this stage. Because of that, he could be targeted for a move to guard even though swing tackle is a reasonable fit for him as well.

Round 6 • Pick 18
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Demby is a well-built, wide-framed college tackle who projects inside to guard. He's naturally strong with some pop at the point of attack, but his ability to sustain is inconsistent due to his lack of bend and inconsistent hand usage. Demby may be more solid than good as a run blocker, but his experience at tackle and his traits in pass protection could help him stand out for a pass-heavy offense looking to shore up a leaky interior. Demby has the traits and talent to become an eventual starter.

Round 5 • Pick 29
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Teams will have to figure out why Teller's consistency and effort level dropped so drastically from 2016 to 2017 if they want to draft him. He has the play strength, body control and hand usage you want from an interior player, but his tape simply wasn't trustworthy this season. Teller has limitations, but he also has enough in the toolbox to work with. He'll be a fit as a backup with eventual starter potential in a power-based scheme if he can revert to his 2016 form.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Experienced guard prospect with NFL size who has faced quality competition across from him in each of his four years at Penn State. Mahon is a decent athlete who is reliable in space, but he should be able to fit into any run scheme. Mahon has the talent to become a decent backup, but still has room to improve in pass protection and as a block finisher.

Round 6 • Pick 39
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Gossett had trouble sustaining blocks against talented competition from Georgia and is unlikely to be ready to face off against NFL competitors. Gossett's NFL-ready frame will appeal to power teams who may look to stash him on a practice squad early on while they work on his technique to unleash more power at the point of attack.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Boettger's frame, play strength and experience playing both guard and tackle will appeal to NFL teams, but concerns over durability may become a hindrance. Teams may be tempted to try and leave him at tackle, but athletic limitations might make a move inside to guard his best option. Boettger's play is inconsistent, but his physical traits should make him an early backup with a shot at finding playing time down the road.

One-and-done blocker with serious power to jolt defenders in his initial punch, but an inability to sustain blocks and ride them out. Phillips may be evaluated as a guard, but he might be better-suited as a center where his power and field awareness can stand out and his struggles with sustaining blocks may be minimized somewhat.

Big and wide with decent initial power, but is unable to sustain blocks with consistency and will be very limited when asked to block on the move. Hearn will flash some initial power, but his inability to finish means the best teams can hope for might be neutralizing his opponent from time to time. He's got enough size and strength to compete for a backup roster spot, but his roster spot might be tenuous over the long haul.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Parris is a good looking physical specimen with thick arms and weight distributed properly throughout his frame. While he has a tendency to lose his knee bend and overall pad level too often, it's hard to ignore his impressive foot quickness in his pass sets. Even with those pretty feet, his delayed punch and propensity to play too far out over his toes could cause a balance issue that could be tough to correct. Parris is a developmental prospect with medical concerns that could cause him to drop some, but he has the potential to move inside and become a solid backup guard with eventual starter ability if healthy.

He'll never be more than an average run blocker or pass protector, but he has enough recovery talent, awareness and competitiveness to find work as a swing tackle in the league.

Stinnie will move inside to guard where he has enough talent and athletic ability to warrant a Day 3 selection. Stinnie's move inside could be challenging early on as he will not only be changing positions but will also see a substantial jump in competition. He has the potential to become a solid, NFL backup with improved play strength and more efficient hand work.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Malone has an NFL frame and will check enough of the intangible boxes to interest offensive line coaches but he lacks the body control and balance teams look for from starters. He missed several games this season due to an injury and played in an offense that emphasized his weaknesses and minimized his strengths. He should benefit from a move to guard and better scheme fit, but average backup to replaceable starter may be his ceiling.

Gono has long arms and possesses the desired physical traits teams covet from small-school, developmental prospects. He overwhelmed inferior competition with his size and talent on the Division III level but will need more coaching and technique work before he is ready to match up against NFL talent. Gono flashes ideal bend and athletic ability on tape but needs more consistent aggression to handle guard responsibilities. Gono could be a late round stash-and-coach project with average upside.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Well-built with NFL-caliber frame that should allow him to compete at guard. While Evans has experience at both tackle spots, his lack of length and struggles in setting quickly enough to the edge against speed will likely force him inside. He'll need to play with quicker hands to prevent defensive tackles from getting early jumps against him. With his frame and experience in pass protection, he has a chance to become a backup guard at some point.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Coyle is expected to bump inside from tackle to guard, but he could struggle to make that transition based upon his primary areas of concern -- handwork and anchor. Coyle has too much wasted motion before getting his punch off and if that can't be corrected, he'll constantly find himself behind in the rep against much more talented opposition than he faced at Fordham. He could go on Day 3 and has enough talent to make a roster or practice squad, but he won't last long if he doesn't get his hands right.

Teams will have to decide if they want to play Bright at tackle or guard, but his versatility and ability to play four of the five spots along the offensive line adds to his value. Bright is known for his football IQ and intangibles; however, his lack of reactive quickness and average hand usage could limit him to a backup only role if he makes a club.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Gates appears taller than his listed height due to his high-cut frame, but his lack of length gets him in trouble when he faces it across from him. Gates can dazzle with his ability to weave back and forth with easy redirection in his pass mirroring, but he has a poor anchor and a soft edge and doesn't hold up consistently enough to make a living outside. A move inside to guard is likely, but his issues against length and power are still concerns despite a move inside.

Round 7 • Pick 34
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Despite playing the last two seasons at tackle, Taylor lacks the size and length to continue on the outside. He has experience at guard which helps, but he'll need to play with quicker, more efficient hands as well as better leverage at the point of attack to play to an NFL level. If teams view Taylor as an emergency option at tackle, it should improve his chances of making a roster or a practice squad.

Hilland faces some athletic limitations, but his upper body power and heavy hands definitely show up on tape. He'll be much better as a "pinner" rather than a "puller" and is best-suited for a downhill rushing attack. He may not have the talent necessary to handle NFL pass rushers, but he has enough raw strength and toughness to potentially find a home on a practice squad early on.

Four-year starter with NFL size and adequate power, Alsadek is a guard-only prospect with athletic limitations. Though he played in a zone-heavy, read-option attack this year, he is better-suited to firing off the ball in a power-based scheme. His lack of foot quickness could pose challenges in pass protection and may limit him to a role as a backup at best if he makes a team.

He plays with some tenacity, but there are too many snaps where he can't get his blocks secured or where he struggles to sustain utilizing desired body control. He looks the part of narrow tackle, but he's missing the foot quickness to survive there. Without better technique and body control he is likely to struggle against the quickness and power he will see in the pros.

Bosch is sturdy and competitive at the point of attack, but athletic limitations prevent him from being more than an alley fighter in tight quarters. Bosch is strong for his weight and plays with power over positioning so he'll need to find a double-team based rushing attack to be at his best. His ability to hold up in pass pro could improve his draft standing a little bit. Bosch will likely have to fight for a backup roster spot.

Uhatafe has desired NFL size and possesses good upper body power, but his lack of functional athleticism and body control may be too much to overcome. Uhatafe can land with initial pop, but simply doesn't use his hands to help him sustain blocks and that may not be correctable. His size should get him into a camp, but making a team will be an uphill battle.
