2026 Draft: Interior OL

We've discussed Jager Burton but a reminder. He's currently listed at 151 on the consensus board.

The defacto captain of the last 2 National Championships, Pat Coogan isn't being talked about enough IMO.

I like him, but I think his play strength is a concern. He's mostly fine against a bull rush, but any kind of blocking scheme that involves him moving from his spot gets ugly. He gets thrown about too easily. I believe he has quite short arms, which might be a contributing factor, he might be reaching to the point where he's slightly off balance.

I'd love for the Pats to add him.. He's a tank in the middle of the O-line. He'd be a good reserve for his rookie year. He'd definitely push Ben Brown for a roster spot.
 
I just did some digging on Trey Zuhn for another post and boy was I surprised.

Despite playing LT for TAMU, he's seen as a center in the NFL because of his 32.5" arms. However, at 6'6" and 312lbs, guard isn't out of the question either. He legitimately has 5 position flexibility.

And can we talk about his pass blocking grade. He had a grade of 96.8. The next best O linemen, not just tackles, had a grade of 91.6. That's a huge difference.

However, i knew all that. what I didn't know was that he ended up with a 9.96 RAS which is in the Freeling/Iheanachor ballpark.

A 5 position backup with starter potential at any of those 5 positions and close to elite athleticism? What's not to love?

There have been few suggesting that OG is a priority. Do folks believe that Wallace is our 2nd backup IOL?

He is right now. Whether that's the case at the end of camp is a whole other matter.

I really like the idea of drafting Trey Zuhn.. I think that he's actually ahead of Wright and Burton because of his versatility...
 
“But what do I love about him? … He’s unapologetically a guard. If you’re at the line of scrimmage, you know what I want? Really nasty (and) rugged. And this is the toughest dude in the draft. Multiple people told me that. Give me the nastiest, meanest, fire-breathing, rip your head off, unapologetic about it. That’s Keylan Rutledge.”

NFL scouts on Micah Morris

Micah Morris​

You won't find Morris very high on many mock drafts or positional big boards floating around the internet right now. That's not because of ability.

"He's probably a first-round talent who goes late Day 2 or early Day 3," a veteran NFL scout said. "He should be a first-rounder based on the flashes on tape. But he's not."

Morris, a multiyear starter at Georgia who weighs 334 pounds, ran a 5.09-second 40-yard dash and posted a 9-foot-4 broad jump.

Some teams have questions about his work ethic.

"I'll be curious where he goes because there are not many guards and he's got a lot of ability," the scout said. "But people are afraid of him."
