D'Brickashaw Ferguson
OT | (6'6", 312, 5.1) | VIRGINIA

Scouts Grade: 98
View by: Round | Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History
You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below.


Strengths: Possesses good height, continues to fill out his frame and has room to add more bulk. Possesses a very good wingspan. Is a rare athlete for the position. Does a terrific job of utilizing his long arms and strong hands. Is as technically sound as it gets for a collegiate OT. Does an exceptional job with his first step and takes great angles as a run blocker. He shows terrific feet and body control. Is outstanding when it comes to finding his assignments and executing on the second level. Plays with very good leverage; is a natural knee bender. Is outstanding in pass protection. Gets set as quickly as any OT in this class and possesses elite mirror-and-slide ability. Possesses long arms and big hands. Will ride perimeter pass rushers up the field. Shows the balance and lateral mobility to redirect inside. Rarely loses a battle to quickness. Shows very good awareness in pass pro and almost never allows his guy to get to the QB. He's also a durable player, hard worker and high-character guy. Well grounded and has his priorities in tact. A young prospect who did not turn 22 years old until the end of the 2005 CFB season. He also is very mature for his age.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal bulk. He has continued to add weight but still needs to get bigger. Also must prove that he can handle 15-to20 more pounds without losing too much mobility. He lacks a powerful initial punch and does not show the ability to jar defenders upon initial contact. He is not an overpowering run blocker. Seems to lack a mean streak. Will have some trouble anchoring versus more powerful bull rushers in the NFL. Needs to be in good position to complete his assignment because he lacks the massive bulk and base to simply engulf defenders at the POA. Suffered a minor knee injury as a senior in 2005, but otherwise has been extremely durable.

Overall: Ferguson earned the starting job at left tackle as a true freshman in 2002 and started all 39 games prior to his senior season in 2005. He earned first team All-ACC honors as a junior in 2004. Ferguson missed two games because of a knee injury as a senior, but he started the other 10 games at the left tackle position. Ferguson can still add bulk to his frame and he has room to improve in terms of his power as a run blocker. Otherwise, Ferguson is the complete package. He is the most athletic offensive tackle in this year's draft class, as well as the most efficient in pass protection. Thanks to his good height and long limbs, Ferguson has the frame to continue to get bigger and he has recently eclipsed the 300-pound plateau. What separates him from most is his exceptional quickness, agility and body control for the position. As it stands right now, Ferguson grades out as the top offensive lineman and one of the top-five prospects overall in the 2006 class. He has all the physical and mental components necessary to develop into an upper-echelon starting left tackle in the NFL.




Winston Justice
OT | (6'6", 319) | USC

Scouts Grade: 95
View by: Round | Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History
You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below.


Strengths: Is a tremendously talented offensive tackle prospect. He played ROT in college but was protecting southpaw QB Matt Leinart's blindside. Possesses good height and the frame to get bigger. Is a powerful lineman with a strong upper body. Shows the ability to jar defenders with his initial punch. His feet are very good. Plays under control and with outstanding balance. Gets set quickly in pass pro and shows the ability to ride top speed rushers wide. He rarely overextends and consistently shows good mirror-and-slide skills in pass pro. He has good mobility as a run blocker. Is more of a fist-fighter-type than mauler type. Typically is able to get in good position and fights to finish. He has a long way to go in terms of his maturity level, but he did make significant strides over the course of the last year.

Weaknesses: Justice can still afford to add some bulk to his frame. He must also continue to improve his overall technique, including his first step and hand-usage as a blocker. He has some maturity issues. Comes with major character and mild durability baggage. Had surgery on his right shoulder in 2003 off-season and ankle sprain during the 2003 season. Was sentenced to probation after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor count of solicitation of prostitution in July of 2003. Also charged with three misdemeanor counts of exhibiting a replica firearm in March of 2004.

Overall: Justice started 12 of the 13 games he played at the right tackle position as a true freshman in 2002. He started 11 games in 2003, missing two games because of the ankle injury. He was suspended for two semesters by USC Student Affairs Department, which led to him sitting out the entire 2004 season. Justice returned to school in the spring semester in 2005, participated in spring practice and took back his starting ROT spot for all 13 games of the 2005 season. Justice's minor durability issues are completely overshadowed by his major off-the-field baggage. On the flip side, Justice's film shows a future perennial pro bowl offensive tackle in the NFL. He also displayed a great deal of maturity over the course of this past season, as he worked his way back into school and remained healthy as QB Matt Leinart's blindside protector throughout USC's entire 2005 season. That's what makes Justice perhaps the biggest risk-reward prospect in the 2006 draft class.




Marcus McNeill
OT | (6'7", 332, 4.97) | AUBURN

Scouts Grade: 91
View by: Round | Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History
You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below.


Strengths: Possesses elite overall NFL "measurables". Is extremely tall with a massive build and impressive speed for his size. He a wide wingspan. Shows adequate initial quickness in his pass pro set. Has long arms to force a wide arc in pass pro. Is very difficult to get around as a pass rusher because of his huge frame. Does a good job of using his long arms and strong hands to keep separation. When focused and fresh, he shows impressive quickness and range in pass pro. Can bend at his knees and show impressive lateral mobility for his size. Can redirect versus the double move and rarely gets beat back to the inside. He takes decent angles as a run blocker. He has tremendous speed for his size and will be able to reach the second level when he's fresh. He engulfs defenders at the POA. Rarely loses a battle once he locks on. He has developed into a hard worker and a leader. Has shown a lot more maturity late in his career.

Weaknesses: Has a medical issue (stenosis of the spine) that could cause long-term concern. Keeping his weight in check will always be a concern. He has ballooned in the past and can look extremely sluggish when overweight. His technique still needs some refining. He can play with leverage when he wants but he gets lazy at times and will play too erect, which diminishes his power and lateral mobility. He has a tendency to rely too much on his natural physical tools and will get caught underestimating opponents occasionally. Gets caught lunging from time to time and does not concentrate on his footwork enough. He is massive, but lacks explosive power.

Overall: McNeill started six games at tackle as a true freshman in 2002. He started 10 games at left tackle in 2003, missing three because of a back strain. McNeill started all 11 games at left tackle in 2004, when he was a first team All-SEC selection. He started all but one regular-season game (bruised knee versus Ball State) as a senior in 2005. McNeill had his best overall season as a junior in 2004 and, after a slow start due to a bruised knee; he finished strong as a senior in 2005. He had some issues regarding his weight early in his collegiate career and he also has a medical condition that needs to be cleared by NFL doctors. However, McNeill has found an ideal playing weight for him (332 pounds) and he has adjusted his workout routine in order to limit the affects of his spine condition. McNeill has impressive athleticism for his rare size and he has developed into an efficient all-around blocker at the highest collegiate level. If McNeill is cleared physically, we consider him worth selecting late in the first round of the 2006 draft.




Eric Winston
OT | (6'6", 310, 4.96) | MIAMI (FLA.)

Scouts Grade: 90
View by: Round | Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History
You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below.


Strengths: Has a rare combination of size and athleticism. He has a long arms and a wide wingspan. His feet and lateral movement skills are outstanding. He has a quick set in pass pro and almost never gets beat around the corner with pure speed. Is balanced and shows very good body control. A natural knee-bender. Shows the ability to mirror and slide versus the most athletic DE's he's faced. He possesses adequate upper body strength. He has long arms and strong hands to maintain separation. Takes good angles as a run blocker. Has great speed and mobility for his position. Can get downfield quickly as a second-level blocker and shows the consistent ability to hit the moving target. He's a hard worker and a team leader.

Weaknesses: Durability is a concern. He did not seem to fully bounce back from his 2004 knee injury. He lacks explosiveness as a blocker. Is not aggressive enough and must play with more of a mean streak. He lacks ideal lower body strength. Needs to improve his base in order to anchor better versus the bull rush. He lacks the leg drive to consistently create a new LOS as a run blocker. He's a little bit too much of a "position and wall-off" type as a run blocker. He still has some room to improve in his pass-pro technique, most notably with his hand-placement. Still relatively raw at the position; did not move from TE to LOT until 2003 season and he missed the 2004 season with an injury.

Overall: Winston is a former tight end who moved to left tackle as a sophomore in 2003. He was in the process of becoming a dominant left tackle towards the end of that season, but suffered a season-ending left knee injury four games into the 2004 season. Winston returned to the starting lineup as a senior in 2005, starting all 12 games at left tackle. Winston is a former tight end who shows impressive athletic ability for his size. He also is a mature player, who will work hard to maximize his physical tools at the next level. Had he not suffered the injury as a junior, Winston likely would have left school early and could have been a high first round pick in 2005. However, Winston was not the same dominating player in 2005 as he was prior to his 2004 season-ending knee injury. He still needs to improve his leg drive when blocking in the running game and he lacks ideal base when anchoring versus the bull rush. He must also become a nastier and more aggressive blocker in order to make it in the pros. Following a strong showing at the combine, Winston may work himself back into the first round mix of the 2006 NFL draft. If not, Winston should come off the board early in Round 2.




Andrew Whitworth
OT | (6'7", 334, 5.15) | LSU

Scouts Grade: 82
View by: Round | Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History
You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below.


Strengths: Is an experienced player. Has a terrific frame and great overall size. Is tall, has good bulk and has muscular arms. He is massive and can be absolutely overpowering at the POA. More of a mauler than anything. He has decent initial quickness and takes good angles as a run blocker. He has explosive initial pop and will jar defenders with his hand punch. He works to finish in the running game and will consistently generate a new LOS as a run blocker. He has adequate quickness in his pass-pro set. Uses his long arms to force a wide arc. He can anchor vs. the bull rush. Also does a great job of sustaining in pass pro once he has locked on. He has big, strong hands and a powerful upper body. Is a hard worker and intelligent player. A bit of an overachiever who works hard for everything he gets.

Weaknesses: He's not a great athlete and he lacks good mobility. He is a bit top-heavy. Plays too erect at times and will occasionally get caught waist-bending. He can look stiff in space. He has decent quickness in his pass-pro set but when he will get over-extended at times and will struggle to redirect back inside. His lateral movement skills are below average. He will struggle to consistently reach the second-level as a downfield run blocker and he's inconsistent when it comes to hitting a moving target in space. He will get to the point too late and off-balance at times, which leads to him lunging and leaving his feet.

Overall: Whitworth started all 13 games at left tackle as a redshirt freshman in 2002, when he graded out at nearly 90-percent in each game. He started all 14 games at left tackle as a sophomore in 2003 and started all 12 games at left tackle as a junior in 2004, when he led his team in snaps from scrimmage (793), allowed only one sack and was whistled for just five penalties all season. As a senior in 2005, he remained a fulltime starter at left tackle. Whitworth finished his career at LSU with 52 career starts. Whitworth has a massive frame and has developed into a mauler in the running game. He shows the size to engulf defenders at the point of attack and he has good overall technique. He will give a great effort and will bring a lot of intelligence and durability to the table. However, Whitworth is not a great athlete and he does not possess explosive qualities. In fact, he's a bit of an overachiever. He lacks great range as a run blocker and he will struggle versus elite edge rushers in the NFL. He played his entire collegiate career at left tackle but is clearly a better fit at the right tackle position in the NFL. Whitworth projects as a second or third round prospect in the 2006 class.

Jeremy Trueblood OT 6'8" 316 BOSTON COLLEGE
A a three-year starter for the Eagles, is known around college football as a physical and tough player with a nasty demeanor on the field, something that has translated well to the NFL stage for other former BC linemen. He has a big frame with long arms that he consistently uses to control would-be tacklers. An excellent run blocker, Trueblood helped pave the way for four 100-yard rushing performances and a collective 1,399 yards rushing by L.V. Whitworth and Andre Callender in 2005. Not one to rely purely on talent, he has been recognized as a hard worker who is able to use his hands well to withstand opposing defensive linemen and linebackers. Trueblood will be a first-day pick in the draft and ranks in the top 10 of the 2006 offensive tackle class. The lack of mobility will relegate him to a career as a right tackle, however. In that role, he will most likely start and have a long career at the next level, but
never reach star status, which for an offensive lineman, isn’t a horrible thing.

Jeremy Trueblood
OT | (6'8", 316, 5.31) | BOSTON COLLEGE

Scouts Grade: 71
View by: Round | Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History
You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below.


Strengths: Is a massive OT with a great wingspan. He has terrific height, good bulk and continues to get bigger. He has long arms (34 ½-inch reach) and big hands (10 ½-inch span). His frame makes it difficult to get around in pass pro. He does a good job of sustaining in pass pro once he has locked on. Is technically sound as a run blocker. Lacks explosive power but is massive and will engulf defenders at the POA. He does a consistently good job with his first step and he takes good angles as a reach blocker. A hard worker with a great mentality to compete in the NFL.

Weaknesses: Is tall and can look a bit stiff at times. Not a natural knee-bender. Comes out of his stance too high at times and doesn't show great lateral movement skills. Lacks ideal quickness in his pass pro set. Will get caught over-extending vs. speed rushers off the edge and will get in trouble vs. athletic edge rushers that double-move him back to the inside. He will engulf defenders at the POA but he doesn't have explosive strength. Lacks the jarring hand punch to knock defenders back on their heels. Seems to lack some toughness and does not play with the type of mean-streak that most BC O-linemen play with. He has marginal speed and mobility. Will struggle to consistently reach the second-level as a downfield blocker. Lacks ideal body control when working in a lot of space; will have trouble redirecting versus moving target on second-level. Had some minor durability issues in the past.

Overall: Trueblood redshirted in 2001 and served as a backup tackle during redshirt freshman season in 2002. He took over as a fulltime starter in 2003, when he started all 13 games at left tackle. In 2004, he started in the season opener at Ball State, where he sustained a left knee injury that forced him out of the game. He returned to the lineup the following week but missed most of the Wake Forest Game due to a virus. He bounced back healthy the next week (UMass) and was the fulltime starter for the final eight games of his junior season. He started all 12 games as a senior in 2005 at the left tackle position. Trueblood's biggest asset is his size. He also is a technically sound player who knows the angles and shows good footwork and hand-placement. In our opinion, Trueblood is a good player but not a great player. He lacks ideal athletic ability and he has not yet shown much explosiveness as a run blocker. He has played left tackle throughout his collegiate career but we think he's better suited for the right tackle position in the NFL. As such, Trueblood grades out as a late-first day prospect in the 2006 draft.




Daryn Colledge

Scouts Grade: 76
View by: Round | Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History
You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below.


Strengths: Is an impressive athlete. Has quick feet, great speed and is fluid. He lacks massive bulk and base, but he is a powerful player. He is a workout warrior in the weight room. Shows explosive pop. Has a powerful upper body and can jar defenders initially with his hand punch. He shows a quick set in pass pro. Is technically sound; uses good footwork, balance and hand placement. Is a natural knee bender and rarely is off-balance. Does not need to over-extend to reach the corner vs. speed rusher and he shows the consistent ability to redirect vs. the double move. Impressive lateral movement skills. Fires off the LOS with good leverage as a run blocker. Takes good angles and has great mobility as a reach and downfield blocker. Typically is in great position. Is a fist fighter type, who uses feet, technique and power to make up for what he lacks in size. He's a hard worker with a mean streak. Will fight to finish and plays hard to the whistle.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal size. Has just decent height and marginal bulk. Has a narrow base. Is powerful but lacks the mass and brute strength to engulf defenders at the POA. He won't create a new LOS in the running game. He needs to play with great leverage in order to anchor vs. the bull rush and he still will get overpowered by bigger, stronger DL in the NFL. He has not played against elite DI-A competition and must prove himself in the post-season.

Overall: Colledge enrolled at Boise State in January of 2001 and participated in spring drills. He redshirted during the 2001 season before taking over as a fulltime starter at left tackle in 2002. He started all 13 games as a redshirt freshman in 2002 and all 14 games as a sophomore in 2003. As a junior in 2004, Colledge was named first-team All-WAC while starting every game at left tackle for the Broncos. He started every game at left tackle as a senior in 2005, as well. Colledge is one of the most underrated offensive line prospects in the 2006 draft class. He lacks ideal bulk and lower body strength. He also needs to play with more consistent leverage in order to anchor versus powerful bull rushers in the NFL. However, Colledge is a terrific athlete with explosive power and the mean streak to match. He is one of the best pure pass protectors in the country and he also is a fist-fighting run blocker who great positioning, toughness and upper body power to make up for what he lacks in bulk and lower body strength. If Colledge proves himself at the combine and in a post-season all-star game, he will solidify his status as a late-Day 1 prospect in the 2006 draft.
