FLOWERY BRANCH — Here are the top 10 offensive line prospects (with projected draft round) for the 2016 NFL draft, which is set for April 28-30 in Chicago:
1. Laremy Tunsil, 6-foot-5, 310 pounds, tackle, Mississippi (first): An elite prospect, who’s expected to protect the blindside of a NFL quarterback for the next decade. He’s big and powerful. He’s considered the prototypical NFL left tackle. While he’s no longer considered to be the top pick in the draft, he won’t stay on the board long. He credits facing Timmy Jernigan (Florida State/Ravens) in high school on a daily basis with helping develop into a strong football player.
