2011 Draft Class - Offensive Line Prospects


OT Tyrone O’Neal – 6’7” 321lbs – 23 years old
59 SPD
93 STR
57 AGI
78 ACC

Pros: O’Neal is a solid offensive tackle with great build. He has good strength, solid mobility and is polished as a blocker, and can play day one.

Cons: He isn’t overly athletic which a lot of GM’s and teams look for these days so that may hurt his stock in the eyes of some teams.

Projection: 1st Round Pick


OT Travis Coen – 6’3” 308lbs – 23 years old
61 SPD
91 STR
53 AGI
74 ACC

Pros: Coen is one of the more athletic OT in the class with pure speed. He still has solid quickness but not the best in that department. He has decent strength and good size and should be a solid pro.

Cons: Not a polished blocker at all which could hurt his draft stock big time, if people by into that having an effect.

Projection: Late 1st Round Pick – Early 2nd Round Pick



OG Torry Kirby – 6’7” 318lbs – 21 years old
59 SPD
87 STR
60 AGI
81 ACC

Pros: Kirby is very solid as an OG. He is polished and has good quickness and pulling ability. Not a straight speed guy but coupling that with solid strength, good size and good instincts he will be solid.

Cons: He has good quickness, but his overall athletic ability including straight speed is lacking, which may or may not hurt his draft stock.

Projection: Late 1st Round Pick – Early 2nd Round Pick


OG Koren Mitchell – 6’5” 315lbs – 22 years old
65 SPD
89 STR
70 AGI
84 ACC

Pros: If you are looking for the most athletic OL in the class or at least one of them, Mitchell is your guy. He has good height to go along with solid speed, good strength and great quickness that allows him to pull.

Cons: Koren is known to not be heady when he is on the field and to act inexperienced. He also needs a little work on blocking.

Predicition: 1st Round Pick


C Scott Caudle – 6’5” 307lbs – 21 years old
65 SPD
86 STR
60 AGI
79 ACC

Pros: For a C, he has pretty much what you look for. Pretty good athleticism, great size to be honest, and although not great strength, good enough for the position he plays.

Cons: Some GM’s like guys with great strength to have to face those big NT or DT, so they may not like Caudle for that reason alone.

Predicition: Late 1st Round Pick
