By Jakob Ashlin
2023 NFL Draft Big Board: Interior offensive line
840. . . . O'Cyrus Torrence. 1. player

In 2022, he led all Power 5 guards with an 88.0 PFF grade.

At 330 pounds, Torrence is a commanding presence. On many plays, he simply overpowers opposing defenders:

. . Luke Wypler. 2. player. 812.
Wypler is the top center on the board.
Over the last two seasons, he has played 1,687 offensive snaps. He allowed only one sack and recorded a PFF run block grade of 89.2.
809. . . . Joe Tippmann. 3. player
Tippman logged some snaps at right guard before moving over to center full-time. Over the last seasons, he allowed one sack and had an 88.3 PFF run block grade across 1,445 offensive snaps.
4. player. 852. . . . John Michael Schmitz
At Minnesota, Schmitz was a four-year starter at center. Last season, he led all FBS centers with a 92.3 overall PFF grade.
Steve Avila. 5. player. 872. . .
During his college career, Avila played snaps at left tackle, left guard, center, right guard, and right tackle. At the next level, guard seems like the most natural fit. Last season, he logged 1,010 offensive snaps for the Horned Frogs at left guard, and he did not allow a single sack.
