Latham brings an incredible blend of speed and athleticism to go along with his size.

With the ability to play guard or tackle, Fuaga is an interesting piece as a rookie because he can get it done in many ways. While teams prefer to set their offensive line for the year, Fuaga can move around if needed. He has an incredible IQ and feel for the game of football, along with NFL-ready intangibles.

2. Troy Fautanu, Washington

Troy Fautanu might be viewed as some as a system lineman because of his ability in a zone-blocking scheme.
