OT Joseph Barksdale UP

Barksdale is now at 325 pounds, up 10 from what he was listed at with LSU. He struggled in his only season at left tackle at LSU and thus might be only a right tackle prospect. The extra bulk works to his advantage in that case.

OT Anthony Costanzo UP

I was looking to see Costanzo get into that 310s range. He weighed in at 311, at 6-7, which is much better than the 295 he was at this time last year. He’s still my top tackle prospect, despite Tyson Smith HUGE day (more on that later).

G Rodney Hudson UP

After weighing in the 280s all season, and 291 at the Senior Bowl, it was good to see Hudson move up to 299. He’s a very technically sound interior lineman and if he can carry this extra weight well, it could solidify him as a 2^nd rounder.

OT Ben Ilajana UP

This small school kid looked very impressive, weighing it at 317 at 6-4, with 36 inch arms.

G Orlando Franklin UP

Franklin measured in with 35 inch arms, very impressive for an interior lineman. He also was 6-6 316, a good size. He’s looking to separate himself from the pack of mid round interior linemen.

 

G Mike Pouncey DOWN

32 ¼ inch arms? That’s not good. He’s an interior lineman so arm length doesn’t matter as much as if he were a tackle, but that’s disappointing.

OT Tyron Smith UP

Today’s winner is Tyron Smith. After being listed in the 280s all season, Smith came in at 307, 2 pounds heavier than the 305 he was shooting for. His arm are 36 3/8 inches which is ridiculous. There’s room to bulk his frame. If he runs well in the 40, he could have a Trent Williams like climb. Williams dominated The Combine and ended up going #4 overall to Washington, over Russell Okung, widely regarded as the better technician. He’s probably going to be the first tackle off the board regardless of 40 time, in this weak tackle class, but with a strong 40, he could go top 10. I doubt he falls past Detroit at 13 and he could go as high as 5 to Arizona.

TE Rob Housler UP

248? This guy was listed at 215 at Florida Atlantic last season. Either he lifted a ton of weights or ate a ton of cheetos. I guess we’ll find out when he runs.  Housler has 71 catches for 1148 yards and 8 touchdowns in the last 2 seasons. Size was his only issue. I’m moving him up for now.

TE Charles Clay UP

Clay was a strong pass catcher as the fullback in Tulsa’s weird offense. He projects best as a tight end at the next level, but at 6-3 235, he was undersized. Good for him getting up to 245.
