1. Andrus Peat
Stanford University is not only a leader in academics but one of the most consistent builders of tough football players in the country. The Cardinal left tackle, Andrus Peat, was the leader of their fantastic offensive line.
Peat has the measurable talent that could make any scout enthused. Peat is a long, almost lanky tackle with an incredible 6’7″ build. He is great with his footwork. His sharp kick slide makes it tough for edge rushers and he bullies bull rushers.
The bottom line is Peat is quite honestly the best offensive tackle in the draft. He could definitely be a top 5 pick. If you were expecting Brandon Scherrf to be number 1, sorry guys, I see him as a guard in the NFL. This is why he tops my list of guard prospects (a little foreshadowing for you).
