Yeah, I'm just not a versatility guy when it comes to O-lineman in the first few rounds of the draft. I know the Cowboys very much are about versatility. So for me personally, I look at an O-lineman and just judge him based on that one position. But I know that's not how the Cowboys operate. Strictly as a guard I think I have Torrence slightly higher than Avila because I just think he is a little more of a bully.I got Avila over Torrence since they're relatively similar prospects as guards but Avila played a full season at center and was all-conference, so that versatility wins it for me.
The Cowboys on the other hand probably value athletic traits more than me and versatility. Because of that I think they will like Avila better. And frankly they have done great with first round O-lineman so I'll just trust them on that one.
I also feel like the back end of my top 15 isn't how I'd like it. Mostly because I'm not taking Benton, Gibbs or Washington in the first round. Truthfully there may be guys I'd have higher than those guys that I also wouldn't take in the first round. Like I really like Bergeron as a guard prospect here. No way I'm taking him in the first round. But if I'm in the second, he could rate higher for me than say Benton. Or if we traded down. Adebawore isn't a first rounder to me. But he probably would be in the back end of my 15 on this list. I left corners off but if I'm being true to my board a guy like Forbes should be on that list. I don't want a corner in the first but I like Forbes better than some of these guys.
