This could change, depending on how people measure at the Combine, but based on the players that I listed as possibles for the Falcons, here's a the list:
FIRST
OT Khalif Barnes, Washington
SECOND
OT Logan Mankins, Fresno State
THIRD
OT Nick Kaczur, Toledo
OT/OG Evan Mathis, Alabama
FOURTH
OC/OT Junius Coston, North Carolina A&T
FIFTH
OG/OC Chris Myers, Miami (Fla.)
OT Mike Watson, West Virginia
OG Scott Young, Brigham Young
SIXTH
OT Trai Essex, Northwestern
OC/OG Dylan Gandy, Texas Tech
SEVENTH
OT Joe Berger, Michigan Tech
OG Doug Buckles, Mississippi
OT Harvey Dahl, Nevada
OT Pete McMahon, Iowa
OT Frank Omiyale, Tennessee Tech
OT Erik Pears, Colorado State
OT Will Svitek, Stanford
UNDRAFTED
OG/OT Dan Connolly, SE Missouri State
OT Willie McNeill, North Carolina
OT Wes Sims, Oklahoma
OT Sam Wilder, Colorado
These are the targets, I'd be surprised if the Falcons don't walk away with at least 2 of these players. I think at least one will be drafted, and at least one will be signed as a undrafted free agent. We may in fact see as many as 4 or 5 of these players in camp (2 drafted, 3 undrafted?)...
I really think the team will be best served if they can walk away from this draft with at least 2 offensive linemen. Hopefully one of them can come on Day 1, so that we know we have a potential starter in our midst. And the other can be a Day 2 pick, which will only increase depth.
