A massive human being, Cody Ford really came into his own at Oklahoma this year. Ford showed the most improvement out of any offensive lineman in college football this season. He’s a very fluid pass protector, an amazing feat considering his size.

That said, Ford leaves a little to be desired in run blocking. He has excellent size and athleticism but I’d like to see him transfer that to more power.

Ford fits with the Redskins because they need to add offensive lineman to fill the hole at left guard. Ford also brings value because Trent Williams isn’t getting younger and Morgan Moses had what was probably his worst season last year. The only reason Ford isn’t higher on the list is because I don’t believe the transition to guard will be as easy for him as it will be for the other lineman on this list.
