Overview: While this class lacks premier talent at the tackle position, the interior offensive line group is excellent.
Nelson is one of the top guards to come out of college for several years, and he may even tempt some teams to select him in the first ten picks. Wynn and Hernandez are also excellent guard prospects who should start immediately in the NFL.
Williams seems to be a bit of a polarizing prospect, but he’ll likely be the first tackle off the board this April. McGlinchey should also get first round considerations. Given Bryan Bulaga’s injury history and age, the Packers may even like McGlinchey as a their future right tackle. He could be at play for them at pick 14.
Price and Ragnow are physical road graders and should be the first two centers off the board. After playing tackle at Michigan, Cole could move to guard or center in the NFL. His versatility will intrigue teams.
