    I'd rather go WR or OLB in rd 1 and then trade up in rd 2 to pick him up. Assuming of course he's still there. From his tape and scouting reports it looks like he'd actually have a chance at being an immediate starter for us.

    If Ricky Wagner comes out, he'll most likely be a mid-first rounder.

    That high?

    I think he could work himself up to be a first rounder, I think him and Riley Reiff could be the Gabe Carimi's of this years draft. Solid tackle prospects who are primarily RT's in the NFL and can come out and start.

    Wagner can play left tackle. If he decides to come out, it will be because he's given a good projection.

    My guess is that at least 5 or 6 offensive linemen would have to be drafted in the first round for Wagner to be taken that high. Matt Kalil, Jonathan Martin, D.J. Fluker, Riley Reiff, and Mike Adams are all probably ahead of him at the moment. There's going to be some good value at offensive tackle in the 2nd round next year.

    IMO, DJ Fluker won't be coming out.

    You're probably right. He'd likely be a top 10 pick, anyway.

    I don't see this, project RTs usually don't go top 10.

    He's like a more athletic, but rawer Phil Loadholt...

    He's better than all of those guys except for maybe Martin.

    If he keeps doing what he's doing this season, Wagner will be the top rated player at his position when the year's over.

    He could be the top rated OT prospect in football in a couple years. However, you seem to know a lot about Alabama football so I'll defer to you on this one.
