13. D.J. Fluker, Alabama, 6’6” 335 (RS Sophomore)

14. Elvis Fisher, Missouri, 6’5” 295 (Senior)

Voted the team Freshman of the year in 2008, and was named first team Freshman All American. Has started 40 consecutive games for the Tigers blocking the quarterback’s blind side at the left tackle position, and will miss much of the offseason because of shoulder surgery (according to the official team site, he is not expected to miss any time in the fall). Honorable mention All Big 12 in 2009 and as a junior in 2010 voted as the team’s interior lineman of the year. Honorable mention All Big 12 in 2010 as well, and just a really solid player. Not a flashy athlete or a dominant player, but consistency is the name of his game and he should be a third round pick or better depending how deep the class of offensive linemen becomes. Could play guard or tackle in the NFL.

15. Bobby Massie, Ole Miss, 6’6” 325 (Junior)

16. Al Netter, Northwestern, 6’6” 310 (Senior)

The 6’6″ tackle has good height and plenty of experience, which bodes well for his draft chances. He has started every game since his freshman season, and was an all Big Ten honorable mention last season. I think he will be in the 4th or 5th round range when it is all said and done, because he has a ton of experience and is probably Northwestern’s second best offensive lineman behind Ben Burkett.

17. Levy Adcock, Oklahoma State, 6’6” 322 (Senior)

Massive offensive tackle prospect with size and athletic ability. Obviously excels in pass protection, and was a first team All-Big 12 selection in 2010. Former junior college transfer from the class of 2009, who can play either guard or right tackle, and has lined up as a fourth tight end in some sets. It’s definitely possible if not probable that Adcock will move to guard in the NFL, but we will see how he fares in 2011. He is certainly athletic enough to hold up as a right tackle, and he has the size to play either spot and be an immediate starter. An education major who wants to someday be a coach, and a guy who is tough as nails on the interior. Very solid prospect, and a big reason why the Oklahoma State offense will have great success. Not a similar player to Russell Okung, by any means, but a 2nd-3rd round guy in all likelihood.
