2009 NFL Draft Top OT Prospects

1. Jason Smith, Baylor (6'5", 310 lbs.)
Has lots of upside. Possess elite speed and strength.

2. Eugene Monroe, Virginia (6'5", 310 lbs.)
Extremely talented LT. An elite pass protector. Considered the safest pick. Forced Chiefs LT Branden Albert into playing LG at Virginia.

3. Andre Smith, Alabama (6'4", 330 lbs.)
Former potential top pick. Has the best tape of all the prospects. Had an immensely terrible offseason leading up to the draft.

4. Michael Oher, Mississippi (6'5", 310 lbs.)
Has lots of upside but was inconsistent at times in college. Has very quick feet.

5. William Beatty, Connecticut (6'6", 305 lbs.)
One of the quickest LTs in this year's class. Has lots of upside. Could be a steal in the second round.

6. Eben Britton, Arizona (6'6", 310 lbs.)
Stalwart tackle. Has short arms and slow feet. Will probably end up being a RT.

7. Phil Loadholt, Oklahoma (6'8", 335 lbs.)
Has a massive frame. Very solid in college. Very strong. Needs to be more agile to be a LT.
