An excellent breakdown of most of the OL's in the draft by scouts. If, following Matt Light's retirement, we are to draft someone for the OL, you can probably find your favourite prospect from this list:
Rating the NFL draft prospects: Offensive linemen - JSOnline
My two favourites:
Could play OG as well as RT.
A former TE playing OT you say? Sounds familiar. And being described as a "punishing run blocker" also makes him sound like a swing OG/OT player which is exactly what we need, if at all.

My two favourites:
7. MITCHELL SCHWARTZ California 6-5½ 318 5.40 2-3
Highly seasoned, with 35 starts at LT and 16 at RT. "He's just one of those guys that will play right tackle, line up for you and play," one scout said. Older brother, Geoff, started 16 games at RT and RG for Carolina in 2010 and signed with the Vikings on March 26. "Now he's not going to win any beauty contests," another scout said. "He's not athletically what you want in a left tackle. But those are the guys that play. Guys like Jonathan Martin, we get all excited about and we draft them in the first round and it's guys like Schwartz that end up playing in the offensive line because they're smart (Wonderlic of 35) and tough." Compared by one scout to former Eagle RT Jon Runyan. Hails from Pacific Palisades, Calif.
Could play OG as well as RT.
10. BRANDON MOSLEY Auburn 6-5½ 314 5.16 4
Played two years in junior college as a TE-LB. Moved to O-line by the Tigers in spring 2010 and started two years at RT. "Developmental guy," one scout said. "I really like his demeanor. Tough. I think he's got a chance to be something but it will be a year or two away." Largest hands (11) of the tackles. Strong, punishing run blocker. "Their line was atrocious this year and he was the best one they had," another scout said. "He's real stiff athletically even though he's a former tight end." Out of Jefferson, Ga.
