Mike McGlinchey is a big (6’8", 309 pounds) offensive tackle who can play on either side of the line. He is a good athlete who has a background at tight end, and translates some of the athleticism to the tackle position. He moves his feet and hips well, and maintains a strong base. McGlinchey has some inexplicable inconsistency on tape that will concern most teams, but his experience, versatility, size, and athleticism make him a great prospect. He could have been a first round pick last year but opted to return to school and refine his game, and it led to 1st team All-America recognition.

Connor Williams had an injury riddled season, playing only 5 games this past season. The previous season, as a true sophomore, Williams was incredible. He was an All-American as a sophomore left tackle for Texas, and started every game he played at that position from the first game of his true freshman season. Williams is a good athlete with a very healthy 296 pound frame. His somewhat short arms might make him transition to guard at the next level, in which case he’ll need to add some weight. His junior year he struggled a little more even when healthy, but he was still effective with his hands and in run blocking.

Everyone knew Orlando Brown would test poorly, but it was surprising nonetheless. At a mammoth 6’8" 345 pounds, Brown had by far the slowest 40 time. Running isn’t too important for o-linemen, but it helps in screens and usually shows general foot speed. Still, Brown was middle of the pack in the cone drill which shows decent side-to-side quickness for his size. The biggest problem was that he had the least reps of any o-linemen, showing he’s more big than strong. Still, he was an All-American for a reason. Decent footwork, incredible size, and an NFL pedigree. Brown has long arms, a powerful punch, and can open huge holes for the run.

Tyrell Crosby isn’t huge by tackle standards at 6’4 1/2" and 309 pounds. Many think he’ll need to move to guard due to height and non-elite athleticism, but I think his 35 1/4" arms will give him a long enough reach to stay on the outside of the line. Crosby is by no means a poor athlete, and his form improved greatly his senior season. Productivity is most important at the position, and Crosby allowed ZERO sacks at left tackle his senior season, which is incredibly impressive. He has strong hands, versatility to play either tackle position or guard, and is a good person off the field. He might struggle as a run blocker if he gets moved to guard as he doesn’t always square blocks enough to open holes.

Stats

13 games played, and a 3 year starter at LT/RT. Pac-12 1st team as a senior.

Kolton Miller has shot up draft boards after incredible testing at the combine. He measured in a hair under 6’9", and ran a 4.95 despite weighing 309 pounds (fastest time by a lineman over 300 pounds). Miller moved to left tackle to protect the blindside of Josh Rosen, and did a solid job there. Miller routinely pulled the defender out of the frame of the camera, giving Rosen all the room in the world. There were, however, plenty of times that Miller missed on blocks, and got pushed backwards. His athletic traits are impressive, but he plays too upright and doesn’t have a great base. A good mechanics coach can turn him into a great player, but the technique isn’t there right now.

13 games played, and a 2 year starter at LT/RT. Pac-12 2nd Team his Junior year.
