Georgia's bookend tackles, Jon Stinchcomb and George Foster, are among the highest-ranked senior offensive line prospects. Both could end up as starting left tackles in the NFL. The top senior tackles:
1. Jordan Gross, 6-4, 305, Utah. Dominating player who has a chance to be special. Has good feet and good hips. Plays with strength, toughness and intensity. Playing style is similar to Tony Boselli's.
2. Jon Stinchcomb, 6-4, 285, Georgia. Athletic pass protector who has the quick feet to adjust to pass rushers. Has increased his strength, but some scouts are concerned that he doesn't anchor very well or play with power.
3. George Foster, 6-4, 317, Georgia. Has as much upside as any offensive lineman in the draft. Quick feet and hands. Bends well. Very athletic. Has missed time with a broken thumb and hasn't played a lot of football. Needs more polish.
4. Ben Johnson, 6-6, 325, Wisconsin. Gifted player with good strength. A natural right tackle. Big man who doesn't play with a lot of fire. Has trouble with speed rushers. Could blossom in the NFL.
5. Steve Sciullo, 6-5, 319, Marshall. Productive, durable player who gets the job done without being flashy. Is good, not great, in almost all areas. A competitor. Probably will move to right tackle in the NFL.
6. Tony Pashos, 6-5, 325, Illinois. A huge road grader who is stout at the point of attack. If he gets his hands on a defender, it's over. Plays with intelligence. Doesn't have great feet for pass protection. Strictly a right tackle for NFL purposes.
