Round 3, Pick 1: Isaiah Prince, OT, Ohio State

Prince is your typical boom or bust candidate at offensive tackle. With the right offensive line coach, he can reach his high ceiling. However, his slow improvement at Ohio State shows that he also has a very low floor. He will be limited to right tackle in the NFL, though.

In run protection he is solid. The combination of strength and athleticism allows him to take out the defender on the front line and climb to the second level to open holes on the edge for the runner.

Pass protection is his main issue, though. He struggles with footwork and hand technique in pass pro. He doesn’t punch well nor frame his blocks. With the right offensive line coach this can be corrected at the next level, but he may struggle early on.

Round 3, Pick 2: Chris Lindstrom, OG, Boston College

When it comes to run protection, Lindstrom is one of the best in the country. In the Boston College run-based offense, he showed that he can handle his own against many quality interior linemen in the country. He strong at the point of attack, and he will finish off blocks.

When it comes to pass protection, he showed he can handle that area, but it’s very limited when it comes to pass protection, because of the offense run at Boston College. The Eagles ran a lot of play action and roll outs. So there isn’t a lot of head to head pass protection tape on Lindstrom, but in the limited times he did he handled his own well enough to translate to the next level.
