Interior Offensive Line

No. 5 – Ross Pierschbacher – Alabama

Alabama run mauler. Has received great coaching, and it shows in his technique. Value comes as a run blocker, can struggle in pass protection. Average length, average athlete. Unlikely he’ll ever be an All-Pro player, but can have a long career as an NFL starter.

No. 4 – Lester Cotton – Alabama

Absolute unit. Cotton moves people, plain and simple. He’s the most powerful interior offensive lineman in this class. Coached well at Alabama, has good footwork and uses his hands well. Size limits his movement skills, specifically in pass protection against shiftier interior pass rushers. Will make a living as a top interior run blocker.

No. 3 – Michael Deiter – Wisconsin

Size and versatility, has played center, left tackle, and now left guard. Great size, could potential fit as a right tackle, but projects best as a guard. Technically sound, does well against speed or power rushes. Moves people in the run game, and holds his own in pass protection.

No. 2 – Tyler Biadasz – Wisconsin

Strong overall player with no glaring weaknesses. Great size and an above average athlete. Moves people in the run game, while doing well in his pass protection at the center position. Smart, identifies blitzes and calls the pass pro for the line. Biadasz is an plug and play starter with the best upside in the class.

No. 1 – Chris Lindstrom – Boston College

If I had to plug and play one offensive lineman in the entire class to perform well, I’d choose Lindstrom ten out of ten times. He’s a four-year starter, has played all along the offensive line, and has performed well. Extremely smart player, understand pre-snap reads. Excellent technique with good power and is an adequate athlete. Lindstrom will be the best rookie offensive lineman year one, but I’m not sure how much higher his ceiling is.
