Walter Football.com ranks the top 25 OG prospects. Following are their rankings and scouting reports.

http://walterfootball.com/draft2014OG.php

1. Gabe Jackson, G, Mississippi State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 340.
Projected 40 Time: 5.33.
Projected Round (2014): 1-2.
1/6/14: Jackson played well for the Bulldogs in 2013. Against LSU, he kept Ego Ferguson and Anthony Johnson from making any tackles for a loss at his expense. Jackson also did well against South Carolina standout defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles. Jackson is a road-grader as a run-blocker and that has earned him some SEC Offensive Linemen of the Week honors. He also performed well in pass protection.

For the NFL, Jackson may not be as quick and athletic as many teams want their left guard to be. He isn't that fast when he pulls. Jackson could fit best at right guard as a downhill blocker.

8/8/13: Jackson blocked well for Mississippi State in 2012. He did very well against Alabama and defensive tackle Jesse Williams. Jackson also was solid against LSU and Texas A&M. His run blocking is ahead of his pass protection, but he has good upside to develop into a starter quickly in the NFL.

Jackson was a Second-Team All-SEC selection in 2011, his second year as a starter. He was a powerful run-blocker for running back Vick Ballard those two years. Jackson is only getting better as he gains more experience.

Jackson was smart to return for the 2013 season. If the senior shows steady improvement, he could easily push his stock into firm standing on the second day of the 2014 NFL Draft. Personal: Son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jackson. Charles Jackson was his high school football coach.


2. La'el Collins*, G/OT, LSU
Height: 6-5. Weight: 321.
Projected 40 Time: 5.40.
Projected Round (2014): 1-2.
1/6/14: Collins played left tackle for the Tigers and was extremely impressive in 2013. Quarterback Zach Mettenberger was protected extremely well by Collins, and the big lineman did well in run defense. Collins played well against Florida, Georgia, Texas A&M and Iowa.

8/8/13: Collins was an impressive power run-blocker in 2012 and helped the Tigers' stable of backs move the ball. He started 13 games at left guard and was an honorable mention All-SEC Selection. Collins has some road-grading potential but needs to improve his pass protection as a junior.

Personal: Son of Loyetta Collins and David Philips.


3. Cyril Richardson, OT/G, Baylor
Height: 6-5. Weight: 335.
Projected 40 Time: 5.30.
Projected Round (2014): 1-2.
1/6/14: Richardson was dominant in the early going of 2013 as Baylor has put up some massive point totals against some weak opponents. Running back Lache Seastrunk had a lot of success running behind Richardson. The Bears' schedule got more difficult in the second half of the year, but Richardson still played well. He finished with solid performances against Texas and Central Florida.

8/9/13: Richardson would probably fit best at guard in the NFL, but could maybe pull off right tackle. He played tackle in 2011, but was moved back to guard last year (he was there in 2010). The junior was much better at guard. Richardson opened up a lot of holes and was greatly improved as a pass-blocker. He has good size with a some quickness at guard.

Richardson could have a huge 2013 season as a run-blocker with a duo of excellent backs in Lache Seastrunk and Glasco Martin. A strong season could put Richardson in the running as the top guard prospect for the 2014 NFL Draft class.

Richardson did an overall good job of blocking for quarterback Robert Griffin III in 2011. Richardson also did well opening up holes in the ground game for Terrance Ganaway. There were games in 2011 in which Richardson allowed too much pressure, but he has the potential to develop into a quality prospect.

Personal: Majoring in general studies. Son of Albert Joseph and Anita Richardson.

 

4. Zack Martin, G/OT, Notre Dame
Height: 6-4. Weight: 304.
Projected 40 Time: 5.05.
Projected Round (2014): 1-2.
1/6/14: The Fighting Irish got an excellent season out of Martin. He was very good in pass protection with an impressive ability to adjust against blitzers off the edge. Martin performed well in the ground game, too. He could be this year's Justin Pugh.

Martin finished the regular season in impressive fashion as he shut down the nation's leader in sacks with Stanford's Trent Murphy. Martin won his won-on-wons and kept Murphy from making plays in the backfield. It was an excellent game. He also was dominant in the Pinstripe Bowl against Rutgers. If Martin were a little bigger, he would be a sure-fire first-rounder.

8/9/13: Martin improved as the 2012 season progressed. The junior did a good job of contributing to a sound running offense. Martin's pass protection got better and he was much improved over 2011. Martin and Notre Dame struggled in pass protection against Stanford last year and were less than impressive against Alabama.

Martin will see some quality opponents this year, but if the senior plays well, he could give NFL teams reason to believe that he could stay at tackle as a pro. Martin probably has short arms for his size. If he struggles on the edge, he could be better off playing guard in a zone-blocking system in the NFL. He also could get consideration at right tackle. It would help him to add more strength for the next level.

Even though the Fighting Irish had a low sacks-allowed total in 2011, Martin, the team's left tackle, was inconsistent. The sophomore had stretches where he was bein beaten and allowing too much pressure on his quarterback.

Personal: Business major.

5. Xavier Su'a-Filo**, G, UCLA
Height: 6-5. Weight: 315.
Projected 40 Time: 5.19.
Projected Round (2014): 1-3.
1/6/14: Su'a-Filo started this season strongly. He did particularly well in the Bruins' comeback win over Nebraska. Su'a-Filo played well against Oregon and Stanford. He didn't play all that well against Arizona State, but bounced back against USC. Injuries forced Su'a-Filo to play some left tackle. He is a well-rounded blocker in the run game and pass protection. Su'a-Filo is a better fit at guard for the NFL.

8/8/13: Su'a-Filo was a force for the Bruins in 2012. He had an excellent season as a run-blocker for Johnathan Franklin. Su'a-Filo also was good in pass protection for Brett Hundley. Su'a-Filo started at left guard but chipped in some time at left tackle because of injuries. He was named a First-Team All-Pac-12 pick by the coaches and media publications.

Su'a-Filo was out of football in 2010 and 2011 while serving on a Mormon mission. Bruins head coach Jim Mora, Jr. made it an immediate priority to recruit Su'a-Filo back to UCLA.

Su'a-Filo set a Bruins record in 2009 with 13 starts at left tackle. The true freshman was an honorable mention All-Pac-10 and was on numerous All-Freshman teams.

Personal: Son of Paul and Candida Su'a-Filo. Xavier Su'a-Filo is a team captain and highly regarded for being a high-character individual.


6. David Yankey, G/OT, Stanford
Height: 6-5. Weight: 311.
Projected 40 Time: 5.05.
Projected Round (2014): 2-3.
1/6/14: Yankey had a good year for Stanford. He is a technician who is a balanced run- and pass-blocker. Yankey was very good against UCLA and Oregon State. Versus Oregon, he was an animal. All night, the senior pulled to his right and blasted open holes in the ground game. Yankey was overwhelming that night. He didn't play as well against USC, but bounced back against Notre Dame. He didn't create much of a push against Michigan State.

8/9/13: Yankey had an impressive junior season taking over at left tackle for the Cardinal. Overall, he was an adept pass-protector and did an impressive job of opening up holes for running back Stepfan Taylor. Yankey was named a First-Team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association and The Sporting News. He was a Second-Team All-American by The Sporting News and a First-Team All-Pac-12 pick.

Yankey had a great game against USC lsat season, but he and the offensive line didn't play well against Washington. Notre Dame's superb defensive line and linebackers battled hard against Yankey with each side getting its share of wins. He did well against Oregon and UCLA late in the year.

Stanford has moved Yankey inside to left guard for his senior season. The coaches feel that young left tackle Andrus Peat could be an elite player. Yankey is probably a better fit at guard in the NFL.

Yankey saw time on the right side of the offensive line in 2011 and played well. He split time between right tackle and left guard. The sophomore was listed as an All-Pac-12 honorable mention after the season. Yankey did a good job of opening holes for Taylor and protecting Andrew Luck.

Yankey has the potential to be a balanced run-blocker and a reliable pass-protector. He has received good coaching and development at Stanford. As long as Yankey stays healthy, he should enter the NFL with good experience.

Personal: Biology major. Son of David and Darina Yankey.

 

7. Tre Jackson*, G, Florida State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 327.
Projected 40 Time: 5.33.
Projected Round (2014): 2-3.
1/6/14: Jackson has played well for the Seminoles, although Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald had some success with Florida State's interior linemen. Florida's tackles gave Jackson some problems as well. Overall, Jackson has done a good job of protecting Jameis Winston and opening up holes in the ground game.

8/8/13: Jackson broke into the starting lineup at right guard last year. The true sophomore was a tough run-blocker for the Seminoles. He is a powerful lineman who can move defensive linemen and open up holes in the ground. Jackson has nice agility and movement skills for a big lineman. Florida State has good coaching for the offensive line and will do a nice job of developing him.


8. Anthony Steen, G, Alabama
Height: 6-3. Weight: 303.
Projected 40 Time: 5.35.
Projected Round (2014): 2-4.
1/6/14: Steen had some weak moments in the 2013 opener against Virginia Tech, but also had some good plays. He played well against Texas A&M and Ole Miss. Steen had an excellent game against LSU in the second half as he was part of a line that controlled the game. Steen missed the Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma with an injury. His strength is in run blocking; he needs to improve his pass protection for the NFL. Steen operated well in 2013 as Alabama went to a lot of zone blocking.

8/8/13: Some labeled Steen as the weak link on Alabama's star-studded 2012 offensive line, but he was a quality blocker for the Crimson Tide. Steen wasn't as powerful as his teammates, yet he did a very good job of opening up holes in the ground game. Steen received a lot of help in pass protection from center Barrett Jones.

In the SEC Championship, Alabama had a lot of success running behind Steen in the second half of the game. He started nine games in 2011 while dealing with injuries. Steen has good fundamentals, and if he improves his pass protection, he could rise up rankings.


9. Brandon Linder, G, Miami
Height: 6-6. Weight: 319.
Projected 40 Time: 5.33.
Projected Round (2015): 2-4.
1/6/14: Linder turned in an impressive senior season to be named a Second-Team All-ACC selection. In the ground game, he did a good job of opening up holes for Duke Johnson. Linder was also a reliable pass-protector for Stephen Morris. Linder broke into the starting lineup as a sophomore in 2011. In his debut season, he allowed only 1.5 sacks. As a junior, Linder had 12 games at right guard. He had nine starts at right guard and three starts at right tackle this season.

Linder has excellent size for the NFL. He can move bodies at the line of scrimmage and could fit well in a power-man blocking scheme. Linder will be playing at the Senior Bowl, so he will get the opportunity to show NFL scouts that he is worthy of being one of the early guards selected in the 2014 NFL Draft.


10. Jon Halapio, G, Florida
Height: 6-3. Weight: 321.
Projected 40 Time: 5.35.
Projected Round (2014): 3-5.
1/6/14: Florida had big hopes for a great season from Halapio, but he missed the first two games with an injury. Halapio played well after returning to the lineup. He held his own against LSU. Halapio played through a ton of injuries. If he can stay healthy, he could be nice value in the mid-rounds.

8/8/13: Halapio had a good 2012 season as a run-blocker for Mike Gillislee. Halapio is strong at the point of attack and pushes defensive linemen around. The senior needs to improve his pass protection and his ability to handle speed-rushers. Halapio allowed too much pressure as a sophomore.

 

11. Arie Kouandjio*, G, Alabama
Height: 6-5. Weight: 315.
Projected 40 Time: 5.31.
Projected Round (2015): 3-5.
1/6/14: Kouandjio looks like a better fit at guard. He has had some mixed outings this year, including the season opener against Virginia Tech. Kouandjio got better on a weekly basis. He had a good game against LSU, but didn't fare as well against Auburn or Oklahoma. Kouandjio was burned for a lot of pass pressures and some sacks against the Sooners in the Sugar Bowl.

9/2/13: Kouandjio has big shoes to fill as the replacement for Chance Warmack or D.J. Fluker. Fortunately he has his younger brother left tackle Cyrus Kouandjio and a great coaching to help him be prepared to start. Heading into Arie Kouandjio's debut season as a starter, head coach Nick Saban is saying he is one of Alabama's best offensive linemen. Koundjio has dealt with multiple knee surgeries but finally is healthy just when Alabama needed him to take over a starting spot. Koundjio could be playing left guard next to his brother, or right tackle this season. It sounds like right tackle is most likely, but for the NFL his body type looks like a better fit at guard.


12. Aundrey Walker*, OT/G, USC
Height: 6-6. Weight: 300.
Projected 40 Time: 5.18.
Projected Round (2014): 3-5.
1/6/14: The Trojans moved Walker inside to guard for 2013. That paid off as he was vastly improved there. However, Walker's year ended early with a broken ankle against UCLA. He should return to USC. Walker has a lot of ability and a skill set to develop.

8/9/13: Walker had a rough start to the 2012 season as the replacement for Matt Kalil. Walker started the first seven games and showed some improvements, but he didn't finish the season well against UCLA. Walker will have to battle to retain the starting left tackle position in 2013.

Walker was a top recruit out of Cleveland, Ohio. He is a good athlete, but needs to improve his fundamentals and his footwork.

Personal: Majoring in sociology. One of 17 siblings and the youngest of 14 brothers.


13. Malcolm Bunche*, OT/G, Miami
Height: 6-7. Weight: 327.
Projected 40 Time: 5.40.
Projected Round (2015): 3-5.
1/6/14: Bunche had some rough moments against Florida, but he also did well in stretches as a run-blocker for Duke Johnson and a pass-protector for Stephen Morris. Bunche has shown some versatility moving around the line, but his best position for the NFL might be right tackle.

9/2/13: Bunche was the Hurricanes starter at left tackle as a sophomore. He may be better off playing right tackle or guard in the NFL. With Seantrel Henderson finally healthy, it will be interesting to see if Bunche remains at left tackle in 2013 or if he moves elsewhere on the offensive line.


14. Andrew Norwell, OT/G, Ohio State
Height: 6-6. Weight: 319.
Projected 40 Time: 5.15.
Projected Round (2014): 4-6.
1/6/14: Norwell was solid for Ohio State. In most games, he was very reliable as a pass-protector and run-blocker. Norwell didn't play as well against Michigan State in the Big Ten Championship.

8/9/13: Norwell had a strong 2012 season at left guard for the Buckeyes. The junior was impressive as a run-blocker for Braxton Miller and Carlos Hyde. Ohio State had a solid right tackle in Reid Fragel, but Norwell could get consideration at right tackle this season. He has the potential to rise higher in these rankings over the next year. Norwell filled in at left tackle in 2011 when Mike Adams was suspended for the first five games, and did a respectable job. Following Adams's return, Norwell moved over to left guard to finish out his sophomore season. He was the backup at right tackle as a freshman.

Personal: Majoring in communications. Son of Julia and Ivar Norwell.

15. Spencer Long, G, Nebraska
Height: 6-4. Weight: 315.
Projected 40 Time: 5.25.
Projected Round (2014): 4-6.
1/6/14: Long played well for Nebraska this season before going down with a torn ACL. The senior could be a steal in the 2014 NFL Draft, as he was a potential top-100 selection before the injury.

8/8/13: Long was solid for Nebraska in 2012 with improved pass protection. He was a tough run-blocker who had a lot of success opening up holes in the ground game.

The former walk-on was an All-Big Ten performer in a breakout sophomore season in 2011. He was a leader on a Cornhuskers' line that averaged 217 yards per game in 2012. Long did a very good job opening up holes for running back Rex Burkhead and quarterback Taylor Martinez.

Long has some mobility and added strength over the past year. If the senior comes through with an impressive 2013, he should move up higher on the second day of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Personal: Biological sciences major. Son of Doug and Ann Long. Spencer Long has won a lot of academic awards during his time at Nebraska.

 

16. Chris Watt, G, Notre Dame
Height: 6-3. Weight: 310.
Projected 40 Time: 5.39.
Projected Round (2014): 4-6.
1/6/14: Watt was very respectable for the Fighting Irish. He had a good performance against Arizona State's Will Sutton. Watt's run blocking is ahead of his pass protection for the NFL, but he could be worth developing as a third-day pick.

8/8/13: Watt has been hit-or-miss in his two years as a starter. He has had some good games for the Fighting Irish and some performances he probably would like back. Watt struggled with Stanford's physical line along with Purdue's Kawann Short in 2012. Watt did a nice job of run blocking last year and Notre Dame had a consistent ground game. He needs to become a more consistent pass-blocker as a senior.

Personal: Marketing major. Son of Mary Pat and Rich Watt.


17. Kareem Edwards, G, Tennessee State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 290.
Projected 40 Time: 5.20.
Projected Round (2014): 4-6.
1/6/14: Edwards will get the chance to impress NFL evaluators at the Senior Bowl. He had a good collegiate career at Tennessee State and looks like he could have the athleticism to play at the next level. Edwards could use more strength on his frame and also could be better off moving inside to center.

Personal: Son of Rosemary Hampton and Joseph Samuel.


18. Zach Fulton, G, Tennessee
Height: 6-5. Weight: 323.
Projected 40 Time: 5.40.
Projected Round (2014): 4-6.
1/6/14: Fulton completed his third season starting at right guard for Tennessee. He has some power to open holes in the run game. Fulton broke into the starting lineup as a freshman while dealing with some injuries. He started every game as a sophomore and junior. In 2013, Fulton improved his pass blocking. He remained a tough run-blocker. Sources said they view Fulton as a third-day player.

Personal: Majoring in arts & sciences. Son of Glen and Alma Fulton.


19. Brandon Thomas, G, Clemson
Height: 6-3. Weight: 305.
Projected 40 Time: 5.11.
Projected Round (2014): 4-6.
1/6/14: Thomas had a strong start to the season against Georgia. He did a decent job as a run-blocker and a pass-protector, but didn't have his best game against Florida State and struggled versus South Carolina.

8/8/13: Thomas broke into the starting lineup as a sophomore in 2011. He was solid in pass protection for Tajh Boyd and in run blocking for Andre Ellington. Thomas followed that up with a quality 2012 season. He could use more power for the NFL. Thomas would be a better fit in a zone-blocking system and could be a candidate to move to center.

Personal: Secondary education major.


20. Alex Bullard, G/C, Tennessee
Height: 6-2. Weight: 302.
Projected 40 Time: 5.30.
Projected Round (2014): 5-7.
1/6/14: Bullard played well for Tennessee in 2013 at left guard. Overall, he was effective as a pass-blocker. Bullard has some athleticism and should maybe move to center in the NFL. He had six starts there as a sophomore in 2011 to go along with six starts at left guard. Bullard lost his starting spot in 2012, but was back in the starting lineup this year with Dallas Thomas in the NFL. In 2009, Bullard was a backup at Notre Dame.

Personal: Majoring in sociology. Son of Dorothy and the late Louis Bullard.


21. Mason Walters, G, Texas
Height: 6-6. Weight: 320.
Projected 40 Time: 5.41.
Projected Round (2014): 5-7.
1/6/14: Walters and Texas dominated some weak opponents, but the Longhorns didn't play well against BYU. He had a mixed outing against Oklahoma and didn't impress against Oklahoma State or Oregon.

8/8/13: Walters is a powerful run-blocker who has some upside. He needs to improve his pass protection; speed-rushers can give him some problems. However, the senior has the potential to rise higher in the rankings. He started 12 games at right guard last season and was an honorable mention All-Big XII selection.

Walters won a starting spot as a redshirt freshman in 2010. Since then he has started 25 straight games at right guard. Walters was a Second-Team All-Big XII pick in 2011. He missed almost all of the 2009 season with a foot injury. Walters has the potential to be a nice fit in a power man-blocking scheme.

Personal: Majoring in government.


22. Antwan Lowery, G, Rutgers
Height: 6-4. Weight: 305.
Projected 40 Time: 5.20.
Projected Round (2014): 5-7.
1/6/14: Lowery was banged up with injuries this season, and as a result, he has shared reps with other linemen. Lowery missed the game against Houston because of a death in the family. He could be worth developing as a late-round backup or on the practice squad.

8/8/13: Lowery was a backup for three years before breaking into the starting lineup as a junior. Lowery said that he butted heads with former head coach Greg Schiano which kept him on the bench. Lowery said the changes under new coach Kyle Flood made football fun again and allowed him to flourish.

Lowry had a good 2012 blocking for Jawan Jamison and Rutgers was able to move the ball well on the ground. Lowery has some athleticism in pass protection as well. He allowed only one sack as a junior and was First-Team All-Big East selection.

Personal: Labor studies major.


23. John Martinez, G, USC
Height: 6-2. Weight: 310.
Projected 40 Time: 5.40.
Projected Round (2014): 5-7.
1/6/14: The Trojans' passing offense struggled at times in 2013. Martinez shared some snaps before becoming more of a backup. He should move to center for the NFL.

8/8/13: Martinez was a honorable-mention All-Pac-12 selection for his junior season at right guard. He broke into the starting lineup as a sophomore in 2011. Martinez looks undersized for the NFL and likely would have to move to center.


24. Tyler Moore**, OT/G, Florida
Height: 6-6. Weight: 312.
Projected 40 Time: 5.31.
Projected Round (2014): 6-FA.
1/6/14: Moore replaced Chaz Green as the starting right tackle this year. Moore was injured against Miami and had an ugly performance where he allowed pass pressure and struggled overall. Moore was banged up and inconsistent in 2013. He was terrible against Missouri, but bounced back against Georgia when starting at left tackle. Moore ended the season injured. He should return to school and stay at guard.

8/9/13: Moore was one of the top offensive linemen in the nation coming out of high school and started out his collegiate career at Nebraska. He started four games as a freshman and played in nine contests. Moore was just the 10th true-freshman offensive lineman to play for Nebraska since 1973. Plus, he was a freshman All-Big XII selection.

Moore soured on Nebraska and left after his freshman season. He spent one semester at St. Petersburg Community College before transferring to Florida in January 2012.

Moore is in a tough fight to take the starting right tackle position away from Chaz Green, another top recruit. Green or Moore could move inside to guard, but Florida likes its two starters at guard. The battle between Green and Moore should be settled in training camp.


25. Max Garcia**, G, Florida
Height: 6-4. Weight: 290.
Projected 40 Time: 5.31.
Projected Round (2014): 7-FA.
1/6/14: Garcia was up and down for the Gators. With the rash of injuries that struck Florida's offensive line, Garcia was playing left tackle by the end of the season. Surprisingly, he didn't play poorly on the blind side. Garcia needs to return to school and get better before entering the draft.

8/8/13: The Gators project Garcia as a starter in 2013, which is significant considering he beat out some highly touted recruits. Garcia started 12 games at Maryland in 2011 before transferring to Florida. He was forced to sit out the 2012 season and has two years of eligibility remaining.

 

I think it will be interesting, and will reveal a lot about Idzik, to see how the Jets handle the OG position this offseason. While Winters improved late, he had a rough rookie season and is far from a sure thing. Colon was a stopgap who could be back as much for his leadership and toughness, but he has to cut down on the penalties if back. The Jets may be hoping that Aboushi or Campbell can take over the RG spot, but I'd hope that they don't go to TC just "hoping" that one of them will step up and win the spot.

I'd love to see the Jets sign Jon Asamoah to play LG, although I think he played RG with KC. He's only 25, versatile and a very good OG. I think Winters might be better suited to RG even though he played LT in college, and then Aboushi and Campbell could still compete for starting/backup spots with Dalton Freeman and a rookie if the Jets draft one or sign a UDFA. With 55 OGs in this draft, the Jets should sign a UDFA or two if nothing else (if as many of them go undrafted as CBS predicts), and a case could be made that perhaps they might need to take an OG somewhere around the 4th or 5th round, and some would say earlier. I'm not a fan of taking OGs in the first round, and the OG would have to be an exceptional prospect for me to want to take an OG in even the second round.

I like what I've read about Gabe Jackson, but it sounds as if he'll probably go in the 2nd round. For the Jets to take him that high, he'd have to be a perennial All Pro to be worth it imo.
