Five Guys - OL Prospects
Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2019 11:25 am
I figured I'd start some very early cursory looks at five guys that could be available in the 3rd round (or later). Today I'll start with the OL given all the talk about Massie and Long. Next up will be RB.
Tommy Kraemer, T/G, Notre Dame
6-5 315
I don't know if he's returning to ND, and if he doesn't I think it's probably a stretch that he's available late in the 3rd since some sites have the former 5 star recruit as a potential 1st round pick next year. If he does declare, I can promise you Hiestand will have a lot of positive things to say about him. Kraemer split time at RT with Robert Hainsey but transitioned to RG full time in 2018.
Yodny Cajuste, G, West Virginia
6-4 315
Cajuste played LT at WV, but with reportedly shorter than average arms he's probably going to have to move inside to guard. He's crazy athletic with a prototype build for the position. Did have a torn ACL in 2016, but seems to have fully healed.
Isaiah Prince, OT, Ohio State
6-6 310
Most draft sites give Prince third or to fourth round grades and peg him as strictly a RT. His not overly strong, but he's got seriously long arms... like 37 inches or something crazy. He's big and raw with athletic ability. I think he's a better prospect than Jamarco Jones, who went in the 5th round to Seattle.
Ryan Bates, T/G, Penn State
6-4 302
Bates is basically a carbon copy of Cody Whitehair. He played inside at guard in 2016 where he really shined, moved outside to both LT and RT in 2017, then played strictly at LT in 2018.
