The final group on the offensive side of the ball are the “big uglies”. Nagy put together another phenomenal group of players up front. Last year with Hernandez and some of the other players, teams saw a fantastic bunch. This year should be even better.

BC’s Lindstrom has the case to the first of the group taken in the draft. Lindstrom is as solid as they come. He’s been a big part for Boston Colleges’ running success during his time with the Eagles. Lindstrom is the type of players where fans lament the pick but he spends the next seven to ten years as a starter. Meanwhile his toughest competition for that spot in the draft will come from North Carolina State’s Bradbury. Bradbury is a former tight end who can move laterally with the best of them. He will dominate in the right scheme but can fit into any. Both players are technically refined who have very little holes in their game. They offer a solution to NFL’s offenses biggest worries, pressure on the quarterback directly up the middle.

The two Wisconsin standouts, Benzschawel and Deiter are going to be around in the NFL for a long time as well. Deiter is the better of the two and has versatility to play guard or center. Both he and Benzschawel offer a plug-and-play option. The difference is Deiter’s technical refinement and ability to win in a variety of ways will have NFL teams valuing him more. Benzschawel is a mauler who needs to work out some kinks in pad level and hand placement. Both have long careers ahead of them though.

The rest of the group are no slouches either. Mississippi State’s Jenkins is a powerful man who needs to be nastier in order to really showcase what he can do. Finally Oklahoma’s duo of Powers and Samia are going to need some work but can play in the league. Samia, to me, is the better of the two and a four year starter for a perennial high-powered offense.
