IN A NUTSHELL:

Dickerson was the recipient of the 2020 Rimington Trophy, awarded to the top center in the nation. He was also a semifinalist for the Outland Trophy and a unanimous first team All-American. Quite frankly, Dickerson was the best offensive lineman in college football this past season. The leader and best player on the best line in the country, Dickerson set the tone with his physicality both in the run game as well as in pass protection for the Crimson Tide. Dickerson has played all five positions up front during his career between Florida State and Alabama but projects to guard or center in the NFL.

As a run blocker, Dickerson did a great job on combo blocks and was often the hammer to the defensive lineman’s nail. He didn’t often see head-up nose tackles during the season at Alabama, but when he did he was able to generate movement on the line of scrimmage, which is the toughest job to ask of a center. Dickerson’s physicality wears on defensive linemen throughout the game, and by the end of the contest, they’re ready for a respite.

In pass protection is maybe where Dickserson received the most of his acclaim, as he seemed to put defenders on their backs weekly while looking for work. Whether engaged with guards or tackles, no defensive lineman is safe. This propensity to punish loopers on stunts leads to defenders being tentative to protect themselves, which is a benefit to the offensive line. Dickerson’s height and length benefit him in pass protection, allowing him to distance himself from rushers and use his long arms to his advantage.

BIGGEST CONCERN:

Dickerson has been extremely effective at both of his college stops—when he’s been healthy. The issue is he’s been hurt a lot. He’s torn the same ACL twice and also used a medical redshirt while in college for a season-ending ankle injury. Dickerson is a tough player—he even bargained to suit up for the National Championship Game for Alabama this past season—but an extensive injury history is a concern for a player playing the most physical position in football. The best ability is availability. A history of lower body injuries for a player who plays around 330 pounds isn’t a great precedent. Dickerson is a first-round player, but can a team take a chance on him given his past medical history?

FIT WITH THE PACKERS:

Dickerson would be a day one starter for the Packers at either center or guard. He has a history of playing tackle, which the Packers have traditionally valued highly in their offensive line selections in the draft. His versatility to play center or either guard spot is crucial in Green Bay’s offense, which has shown no fear of shuffling around the offensive line to get the best five offensive linemen on the field. He also only switched to center in 2019 after not playing the position at any level of football prior to that, so his ability to learn and adapt on the fly should be an appealing prospect for any team adding him to their scheme. Dickerson will be an interesting case study. Injuries aside, he’s the best interior offensive lineman in this class. Unfortunately, the injuries are a very legitimate concern and can’t be ignored at the juncture where Dickerson is likely selected in the draft.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Vera-Tucker is what the NFL has been moving toward in its offensive linemen for quite some time now: a smaller, more compactly built athlete who has supreme movement skills and positional versatility. A starter at left guard in 2019, VeraTucker made the transition to left tackle for the Trojans in 2020 and quickly assimilated himself on the blindside.

Vera-Tucker wins in the run game through his athleticism and movement ability. He’s very effective climbing to the second level and in space and is able to size up his target. While he’s certainly not an overly physical point of attack blocker in the run game, AVT is no slouch. He shows the ability to eek out every inch after being stalemated initially. His lateral agility makes him an ideal zone blocking scheme player at both tackle and guard. His experience both inside and out should expedite his acclimation at the next level.

Pass protection is going to be where Vera-Tucker’s lack of length is going to show up at the next level. He shows the ability to get to his landmarks in his pass set and remain composed, trusting his athleticism. However, out on the edge, his lack of length will be more easily exposed versus lanky pass rushers than inside at guard. He shows good hand placement and is able to anchor effectively against power rushers. He’s very cognizant of his edges and doesn’t allow himself to be pushed in from the side by rushers. Vera-Tucker should be an appealing prospect to NFL teams due to his experience and prowess both inside and outside in pass protection.

GUARD OR TACKLE?

Especially when prospects are effective in multiple roles, allowing them to fail at the more valuable spot before moving them to the alternative is often the wise approach. If AVT shows the ability to play tackle, let him play there. There is more depth of quality interior offensive linemen than tackle. However, he should be able to be a plus player at either position. Depending on the scheme—one could be more advantageous than the other—AVT can play both spots. Some teams will also exclude him from tackle due to being 6’4” and depending on his arm length, but that’s a team-by-team basis. Any offensive line coach that gets him will appreciate his prowess at both positions, and he becomes more valuable in the case of emergency due to his ability to play multiple positions well.

FIT AS A PACKER:

Vera-Tucker is an ideal fit for what the Packers are looking to accomplish in their wide zone offensive run scheme and all of the play action they execute off of it. His athleticism and movement ability allow him to execute reach blocks with ease and that ability on the backside of zone runs are what allow Aaron Jones to break long touchdowns. While he played tackle in college, Green Bay would likely immediately play him at guard due to their need at the position. This would also allow Elgton Jenkins to remain on the inside either at guard or center. Vera-Tucker’s experience at tackle will only help him with his ability to protect inside at guard with the impact rushers seemingly every team in the league now employs. Vera-Tucker should be a priority target for Green Bay.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Wyatt Davis, the grandson of Packers’ Hall of Famer Willie Davis, has been considered one of the top interior offensive line prospects in this class for multiple years. A three-year starter at right guard for Ohio State, Davis has been an anchor for the Buckeyes, drawing the attention of NFL scouts for multiple years now. A former five-star recruit, he was the top-ranked guard in the country coming out of high school, and he lived up to the hype in Columbus.

In the run game, Davis’ physicality jumps off of the screen. Working both front side and backside combo blocks, Davis is a force that generates movement off of the line of scrimmage. An above-average athlete for the position functionally, Davis does a great job moving laterally, which helps him cover up defensive linemen who outleverage him pre-snap. Ohio State runs mainly inside zone and gap concepts, and Davis uses his hands well to help excavate defenders out of the way to clear open paths in the run game.

As a pass protector, Davis has more room for improvement than with his run blocking, but his foundation is very solid. When Davis has his adversary squared up, it’s all but over for the opponent. Davis uses tight hand placement to control the defender and uses his strength to anchor and stop any attempts at a bull rush. However, Davis can struggle when rushers get to his edges, where they can collapse his power base and make him lose his balance. This is something that can be improved but will be a priority for whoever drafts him to help clean up.

OPT-OUT RUST?

Davis would likely agree that his better tape was in 2019 as opposed to in 2020. Davis had originally opted out of the college football season and declared for the draft after the Big Ten preliminarily cancelled the season, but ended up opting back in once the season was reinstated.

While Davis was still a force for the Buckeyes, he was a bit more erratic in 2020 than he was as a sophomore. This was likely a side effect of the quarantine over the summer, which left players without their typical accommodations regarding training. Offensive linemen, in particular, are dependent on chemistry and cohesiveness as a unit, and the modified practice structure and time was a detriment to groups across the country. Davis will be looking to bounce back in 2021 for his next team and return to 2019 form.

FIT WITH THE PACKERS:

Wyatt Davis would be an upgrade for Green Bay at guard immediately. His athleticism, while not applied to many wide zone concepts at Ohio State, would be an immediate fit for the Packers. While his pedigree is enticing, his on-field play provides plenty of reasons as to why he’d be a fit in Green Bay. He lacks the tackle experience that the Packers typically covet in their early-round offensive line picks, but Brian Gutekunst has shown the propensity to make exceptions if they are appropriate. Davis is a guard-only prospect, the first of his kind on this list. While most of the Packers’ interior offensive linemen are versatile, Davis would likely be a guard only in Green Bay, unless it were to envision him as a center in the future.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Humphrey is the most technically sound offensive lineman in this class. A four-year starter at center, Humphrey played with six current or future NFL offensive linemen during that time and may be the best of the bunch. As the center in Oklahoma’s offense, he was in charge of protections and identifying defenses, which he was trusted to do even as a freshman.

In the run game, Oklahoma runs a bit of everything, so Humphrey is experienced in both zone and gap scheme concepts. Important for a center, he also has experience pulling and the athleticism to block defenders in space. Humphrey doesn’t create a ton of displacement from the line of scrimmage but is an incredible positional blocker, giving the running back a steady hole to run through.

In pass protection, Humphrey wasn’t tested much by Big 12 defenses, but in his bowl game opportunities he showed plenty to be encouraged by. He has a strong base and that allows him to sit on bull rushes with ease. He’s also extremely adept at picking up stunts and identifying games that the defensive line are running. Humphrey shows good range athletically, which could allow him the versatility to play guard in the NFL.

FIT WITH THE PACKERS:

Humphrey would be a plug and play day one starter at center for the Packers. While he lacks the experience at tackle the Packers prefer, Humphrey could be a target for Green Bay due to the amount of experience he has directing an offensive line unit, especially one that was as talented as Oklahoma’s. While he’s not a direct fit in the Packers’ wide zone scheme offensively, his athleticism definitely lends itself to that. Humphrey should have no issue with any physical task the Packers would ask of him.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Quinn Meinerz was the most physically dominant force in Division III football the last time it was played nationwide. Meinerz imposed his will on every defensive lineman who lined up across from him at UW-Whitewater. A two-year starter at left guard, Meinerz led the Warhawks to the NCAA National Semifinals in 2018 and the National Championship Game in 2019. After losing the 2020 season due to COVID-19, Meinerz declared for the NFL Draft.

In the run game, Meinerz simply overwhelmed his competition at the Division III level. He routinely displaced opponents several yards off of the line of scrimmage creating massive creases for the running backs. Meinerz was also often used as a puller in the Warhawks’ A-Gap Power scheme and has a lot of scheme versatility, with some additional experience in inside zone and pin and pull schemes.

As a pass protector, Meinerz shows light feet and the ability to mirror and match pass rushers. He has a lot of experience identifying and taking care of stunts and other defensive line movement. He has a strong punch that stuns defenders.

FIT WITH THE PACKERS:

Meinerz would likely be a day one starter at guard or center for the Packers. While he played guard at Whitewater, he played center down at the Senior Bowl in January and looked like a natural. Meinerz doesn’t have the experience at tackle, but he had elite athletic testing numbers at his pro day. While Whitewater didn’t run much wide zone during his time there, his athletic ability will help expedite the learning process. His aggressiveness in run blocking will also help him acclimate to play action pass protection at the next level.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Brown is one of the biggest and strongest offensive linemen in this draft class. Despite tipping the scales at 360lbs this past season, he’s a surprising athlete for a man of his size, as he’s able to accelerate well and generate movement off of the line of scrimmage. Listed at 350 pounds with Alabama, the weight could be a concern for some teams if they question whether Brown can keep his weight in check.

As a run blocker, Brown is dominating; he was one of the few players who had success against Auburn’s Derrick Brown in 2019. He creates movement off the line of scrimmage with ease and also has experience as a puller, showing impressive athleticism. Brown is excellent at down blocks and angle blocks that utilize his strength and short area quickness.

In pass protection, Brown wants to play in a phone booth. If he can keep it in close quarters, he’s a short cab ride to get around. However, if you get him in space, his range is limited, and his lack of lateral mobility becomes an issue.

FIT WITH THE PACKERS:

Deonte Brown is not a very likely fit with the Packers. While he has a lot of appealing traits, he’ll be fairly team-specific due to his size. He lacks the lateral mobility the Packers look for in their wide zone scheme that prioritizes athleticism. Brown’s best fits will be with teams that are inside zone and gap scheme heavy where he can execute in more confined spaces. He’s also limited as a pass protector, which makes him a flawed fit in Green Bay.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Smith is a former five-star recruit who came to Knoxville with a lot of acclaim, but health issues stunted his progression. A four-year starter at Tennessee, Smith started games at both left tackle and left guard. His 2018 season was cut short due to having experienced blood clots, but he started seven games prior to that. In all, Smith played over 2,500 offensive snaps for the Volunteers.

As a run blocker, Smith is a mauler who wins with physicality and gets good movement off of the line of scrimmage. He excels in gap and power schemes, where he can get off of the football and pull and execute down blocks. On the negative side, he ends up on the ground a lot, so improving his sustaining of blocks will be important at the next level.

In pass protection Smith does a good job recognizing and communicating when he sees defensive line movements and stunts. He plays with a strong base, and, at his size, you’re not bull-rushing him. He’s overaggressive at times; he needs to sit back and trust his strength.

FIT WITH PACKERS:

Smith likely won’t be a Green Bay Packer, as he’s not a great fit in the Packers’ offensive scheme. Smith’s game is predicated on aggressiveness and physicality, moving on a linear path, while the Packers have a big emphasis on lateral mobility and athleticism. While he does have the past experience at tackle that the Packers prefer, Smith doesn’t often play like a former tackle. He’ll be a better fit in a gap and power scheme where his strengths can shine.

IN A NUTSHELL:

A four-star recruit out of high school and the sixth-ranked guard prospect in the nation, Cleveland started a total of 25 games for the Bulldogs after a redshirt season. An absolute physical specimen at 343 pounds, Cleveland is built like a bodybuilder and plays exactly like a 340-pound man should. As you can imagine from a man of that size, he is a dominant physical force.

As a run blocker, Cleveland’s enormous size coupled with his impressive movement ability helps him consistently generate movement at the point of attack. Georgia runs a very NFLstyle offense, so inside zone and gap concepts are staples of the Bulldogs’ offense. Cleveland’s technique could stand to be improved, as he depends on his size and strength more often than he should.

In pass protection, Cleveland’s athleticism and size helps put him in advantageous positions while keeping leverage on interior rushers. He trusts his strength well and is nearly impossible to bull rush. His results have been good, but continued development technically will benefit him at the next level.

FIT WITH PACKERS:

Ben Cleveland likely will not be a Green Bay Packer. While he is an impressive athlete for a man of his mammoth size, he lacks the tackle experience they often covet and, like many guards in this class, is a better schemative fit in a gap or power scheme. The Packers’ zone scheme would ask more of Cleveland laterally, rather than showcasing his power and mauling ability. He’ll be a starting NFL guard in less than two years, if not as a rookie, but likely not in Green Bay.

MEASURABLES: Height: 6’5 1/4” | Weight: 310 lbs. | Arm: 32” PRO DAY: Bench: 29 reps 2020 STATS: (8 Games)

IN A NUTSHELL:

Originally recruited as a tackle, Myers is a tall center who was a two-year starter for the Buckeyes. Starting next to Wyatt Davis, they formed one of the better combo block partnerships in the Big Ten. At 6’5”, he has impressive size and length at the pivot.

Myers is at his best in the run game, where his athleticism is on display. Being able to cover up defensive linemen who outleverage him pre-snap and climbing to the second level are where Myers wins consistently. While he’s not a devastating run blocker, he’s very effective, covering up defenders to aid his running backs. Ohio State runs a lot of inside zone and gap scheme concepts, so he’ll have an easy transition to the NFL game.

As a pass protector, Myers uses his length well to keep defenders at bay and create longer edges for interior rushers. His hand placement is effective most of the time, and at center is a bit protected as he’s usually never one-on-one in pass protection. Myers shows a good understanding of defensive movement and seeing stunts and games along the defensive line.

FIT AS A PACKER:

Though he was recruited as a tackle by Ohio State, he never played there in college, only playing at center for the past two seasons. Myers would be a plug-and-play center for the Packers, who have some uncertainty on the interior of their offensive line heading into the 2021 offseason. Myers’ experience in zone concepts should help his transition to the NFL, but Ohio State doesn’t run a lot of wide zone, so that would be an area where he’d have to adapt.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Green is an impressive athlete who played both guard and center for the Illini over the past three seasons, starting all 32 games in which he played. He’s one of the most athletic linemen in the draft class. Green started three games at center this season, along with five at left guard.

As a run blocker, Green’s most impressive trait is his movement ability. He routinely cuts off linebackers and defensive backs in space at the second level and consistently hits his landmarks. Green’s lateral mobility is among the best in this class and will continue to be how he wins at the NFL level. He routinely is able to reach defenders who out leverage him at the snap of the football.

In pass protection, Green uses his quick feet and movement skills to consistently put himself in good positions. He has a strong upper body that you can see during his punch, which stuns defenders. His hands can be sporadic at times with their placement but can be corrected. Green shows the ability to identify stunts and blitzes.

FIT AS A PACKER:

While he has no tackle experience at the college level, Kendrick Green would be a phenomenal fit for the Packers in their LaFleur-wide zone run scheme. Green’s elite level athleticism at the position, paired with his experience at both guard and center, would make him a valuable piece of the interior in Green Bay. He’s also strong in pass protection, and with as much play action as the Packers run, would protect some of his weaker areas as he continued to develop.

MEASURABLES: Height: 6’5” | Weight: 325 lbs. | Arm: 33 1/4” PRO DAY: Vertical: 31”, Broad: 100, 40yd: 5.31, 20 yd: 4.91, 3-cone: 7.33, Bench: 24 reps 2020 STATS: (12 Games)

IN A NUTSHELL:

Banks was a two-and-a-half-year starter for the Fighting Irish at guard. Well-coached at Notre Dame, Banks should be one of the more ready-made professional offensive linemen in this draft class. His impressive size is a benefit to him in both the run game as well as in pass protection.

As a run blocker, Banks blocks out the sun, using his massive frame and length to dwarf defenders and get vertical displacement off of the line of scrimmage. Notre Dame runs a NFL-style rushing attack, so Banks has experience in both zone and gap and power schemes. Banks is exceptional on his landmarks on down blocks and is an effective puller.

As a pass blocker, Banks uses his size to his benefit, as he’s able to sit on power moves and take away opponents’ bullrush attempts. His frame also creates a longer edge for interior rushers, which gives Banks more time and margin for error when in recovery mode. He uses his length well in pass pro as well, helping create distance between himself and the defensive linemen.

FIT WITH PACKERS:

Like a lot of interior prospects in this class, Banks is more well-suited for a gap scheme that will accentuate his positives (length, power, frame) and help cover up some of his lesser areas (foot quickness, lateral mobility). While Banks has a lot of traits that would be appealing to the Packers in pass protection, he’d be a square peg in a round hole in the run game, which Green Bay builds their entire offensive foundation off of. He’ll be a good player, just not in Green Bay.

12

MEASURABLES: Height: 6’2” | Weight: 330 lbs.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Moore is another prospect who is better suited for a gap scheme, where his lateral mobility won’t be as much of a liability. He played guard at Grambling but played center down at the Senior Bowl, which was crucial for him as his 2020 season was cancelled due to Covid-19. Despite his size, he was impressive in pass protection and is very aware of loopers and stunts by defensive linemen. An impressive linear athlete for a player his size, Moore is a bully and will excel in a scheme that better fits his skillset than that of the Packers.

MEASURABLES: Height: 6’2” | Weight: 293 lbs. | Arm: 31” PRO DAY: Vertical: 32”

2020 STATS: (11 Games)

IN A NUTSHELL:

Drake Jackson is an undersized, athletic, scrappy center who started 44 games for Kentucky over his five years with the program. A battle tested-prospect, Jackson makes up for his lack of size and physical gifts with toughness and technique.

In the run game, Jackson uses his movement ability and quick feet to help overtake defensive linemen at the point of attack. Jackson will never be a mauler or people mover at center, but he’s very effective with position blocking and making sure that his defender isn’t in an advantageous position to make a play on the ball carrier. He’s also shown to be a very effective down blocker due to his quickness.

As a pass protector, Jackson uses his movement ability to mirror pass rushers and cut them off before they’re able to get to full speed, where they could overpower him. His lack of length shows up more in pass protection, as defensive linemen can get their extended arms on him and drive him back into the pocket. At only 290 pounds, Jackson will struggle against power rushes.

FIT WITH PACKERS:

Jackson’s movement ability and skills make him a good fit for the Packers’ zone blocking scheme. His ability to laterally cover up defensive tackles is one of the most crucial skills a center can possess in Matt LaFleur’s offense. Jackson is very likely a center only due to his lack of length and size, and he doesn’t possess the tackle background the Packers typically prefer, but he should be a player the Packers target.

14 Robert Jones (SR)

Middle Tennessee St

MEASURABLES: Height: 6’4” | Weight: 319 lbs.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Jones is an imposing player who played out of position in college at tackle but will make for a better interior player at the NFL level. He consistently drove defensive linemen of the line of scrimmage at MTSU. Jones struggled at times with speed rushers on the outside, so that issue will be taken care of as he transitions inside. He has the tackle background Green Bay covets and has shown some of the skill set required for the Packers’ scheme. Jones should be a guard at the next level with the ability to play tackle in an emergency.

15 Sadarius Hutcherson (rSR) South Carolina

MEASURABLES: Height: 6’3” | Weight: 321 lbs.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Hutcherson played both left tackle and left guard for the Gamecocks throughout his college career. He started 36 games in his career of the 45 he participated in. Hutcherson’s movement ability and lateral agility should allow him to fit nicely in the Packers’ run schemes and in pass protection. His ability to cover up defenders on the line of scrimmage would fit the Packers’ wide zone run game, and he’s also strong enough to move defenders off of the football when they run inside zone and power. Hutcherson has the ability to play tackle in an emergency, but he will be a guard at the next level.

MEASURABLES: Height: 6’3” | Weight: 319 lbs.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Hill started two plus seasons while at Georgia, at both guard and center. A highly ranked recruit, Hill was a physical presence for the Bulldogs. He has trimmed 11 pounds off of his college listed weight, which should help his movement ability at the next level. Hill doesn’t possess the tackle experience the Packers prefer of their interior offensive linemen but has the lateral agility to execute the wide zone scheme the Packers employ. As a pass protector, he should continue to develop technically, but his aggressiveness and physicality will help him transition at the next level. Hill’s positional versatility will be enticing on the interior.

MEASURABLES: Height: 6’4” | Weight: 317 lbs.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Kraemer is a battle-tested, experienced interior offensive lineman who was well coached at Notre Dame. Kraemer does a good job using his length to his advantage in both the run game as well as in pass protection. In Notre Dame’s pro-style rushing attack, he has experience in both zone and gap schemes. Kraemer is effective in the running game on down blocks but is limited athletically in pass protection and will be exposed versus speed rushers at times. He’s a better schematic fit for a gap and power offense. Kraemer recruited as a tackle but only played inside at Notre Dame.

18 Jack Anderson (rJR)

Texas Tech

MEASURABLES: Height: 6’5” | Weight: 315 lbs.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Anderson started all 38 games he played for Texas Tech at right guard, one of the highest-rated recruits in the school’s history. Anderson’s biggest strengths come in pass protection, where he’s one of the best in the class. He ran primarily zone run schemes in Texas Tech’s pass-happy offense. Anderson displays a strong punch in pass pro and shows an advanced understanding and ability to diagnose stunts and games up front. A solid athlete, he has some room to grow in the run game from a physicality standpoint but is an effective positional blocker. He lacks prior tackle experience but has the requisite tools to survive in the Packers’ wide zone scheme.

19 Jimmy Morrissey (rSR)

Pitt

MEASURABLES: Height: 6’3” | Weight: 303 lbs.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Morrissey is a former walk-on at Pitt who went on to start 47 games over the four years he played. He is the definition of an overachiever. Morrissey lacks the preferred tackle experience, starting all of those games at center for the Panthers. Morrissey covers defensive linemen up in the run game, and, while he doesn’t blow them away, he’s always in the right position. In pass protection, he’s seen everything and communicates well to pick up stunts and other defensive antis. While he lacks any standout physical traits, he’s solid enough in nearly every aspect of the position and has the requisite tools to play in the Packers’ scheme.

20 Tristen Hoge (rSR)

BYU

MEASURABLES: Height: 6’5” | Weight: 306 lbs.

IN A NUTSHELL:

A Notre Dame transfer, Hoge was an excellent guard for the Cougars, helping Zach Wilson be in contention to be a topfive selection in this draft class. Hoge shows a great awareness in pass protection for maintaining leverage on the pass rusher and knowing where his help is. Hoge is a good athlete for his size and should have no issues with the Packers’ wide zone run scheme. A physical offensive lineman, he wears on defensive linemen throughout the game, getting consistent movement and fits combo blocks well. He was recruited as an offensive tackle but has only played the interior in college. 21 BRYCE HARGROVE (rSR)
