Another solid group in Mobile this year will be the offensive tackle class. Last year there were some top-100 picks at the game. New England Patriots’ first round pick Isaiah Wynn was there and worked out at tackle and guard. New York Giants Will Hernandez really made a name for himself with his nasty demeanor and awesome neck roll. Cleveland Browns’ Austin Corbett was another name that gained steam during his time here.
This is a big opportunity for offensive lineman. NFL scouts want to see how they can vary their pass sets against strong NFL edge rushers. They also will look at the ability to anchor against the big run stuffers that will be making appearances. College systems can masks some of their linemans’ best ability. During these practices they will be running NFL-style drills which can highlight or expose their strengths and deficiencies.
This group features two tackles that could hear their name called in the first round. Kansas State’s Dalton Risner will get work along all five line spots. He may not be a franchise left tackle but he can be a franchise right tackle. Risner is an angry player who backs it up with incredibly technique. He’s been one of the best in the country for the past two years and will shine down in Alabama. Yodny Cajuste of West Virginia will also be a high draft pick. Cajuste is the type of “toolsy” player that the NFL falls in love with at the tackle position. He’s got great length and shows power in run blocking. He will need work on his feet and hands but if he puts it together this is a long-time NFL starter in the making. Keep an eye on what players are asked to rotate in to guard. There are plenty of names here that can see the transition inside as a boost to their professional career.
