1a) Becton
1b) Wills
3) Thomas
4) Wirfs
Becton Pros; size, athleticism, run blocking in the wide zone scheme, ankle and hip mobility, suddeness

Cons; can get tired, lack of experience pass blocking, not a lot of tape, lack of technique pass blocking.
(Becton continued): I still have him as 1a because of his ceiling, and I don't see anything that a great OL coach can't correct
Wills Pros; change of direction, ability to create power, ability to stop power quickly, mobility, technique is clearly the best in the draft, size
Cons; if you watch a lot of his tape, he has had some mental lapses with penalties and getting lulled to sleep by lesser opponents
(Wills continued): Overall, he's the guy who is the most NFL ready, and would clearly be the #1 guy if the ceiling for Becton wasn't so high. I see him as the most sure-fire offensive lineman in this draft. His movement skills and suddenness is impressive for a college player
Thomas Pros; Very good athlete, good technique, tough, physical
Thomas Cons; can get overextended, doesn't create as much power biomechanically as some of the other guys, sometimes struggles to recover, bull rush could be a concern
(Thomas continued): Overall, I have him #3 because he doesn't create as much power in the run game as the two guys in front of him and he can't stop the power moves in pass prop as well as the two guys in front of him.
Wirfs Pros; extremely strong and powerful, smart, tough, good technique
Wirfs Cons; sometimes guys who have powerlifter lower body strength have "heavy" legs and you can see that on tape from Wirfs. His first step quickness and change of direction suddenness could be better
(Wirfs continued): Overall, a great player who likely will be a tackle long term, but might be best suited to start at guard because of less than perfect mobility and suddenness. A mauler (good) but those types sometimes struggle to keep up with the athletes you see on the edge
