Mike Pouncey is the highest rates O Guard in the nation, and I, for one, feel that it's completely justified: The guy is a natural Croucher who commands exceptional Launch Speed off the Snap, has the Strength to Anchor well against the Pass Rush, displays superior Power to Drive in the Run Game, and has outstanding Lateral Agility and Flanking Speed on Pulls + Traps. His issues with snapping in the Shot Gun are well documented, and it is an open question how effective he could be as a Center in the Pro Game. But there is no question that he's got all the tools to become and exceptional O Guard.
Beast!!

Danny Watkins, the FireFighter + Hockey Player, has no weak areas to his game: He's a tremendous Croucher, he shows good Power in the Run Game and Strength against the Pass Rush, and he's got the Lateral Agility to Mirror and the Flanking Speed to Pull + Trap. He most definitely needs to Convert from O Tackle to O Guard, and might very well become one of the best.

Benjamin Ijalana commands a frightening arsenal of Power, Strength, Lateral Agility, and Flanking Speed.
He's a raw Division II kid who's not where he wants to be, yet, but he's rapidly improving his Crouch, his Mechanics, and all aspects of his Game, and I believe he has the most UpSide of any O Guard in the entire Draft.
Beast!!

Clint Boling is a good natural Croucher with very good Lateral Agility and decent Flanking Speed. He's not particularly Strong or Powerfull, but he's a Scrapper who finishes plays.
He's an O Tackle who would be best served converting to O Guard, putting on about 10 pounds, and getting drafted by a Zone Blocking team.
There are more talented players at O Guard, this year, but none more tenacious: Intangibles go a LONG way in this Great Game, and I believe that Clint Boling is one of those guys with a little bit of talent and a lot of heart who is going to forge an exceptional career.

Will Rackley has a few holes in his game: Slow Launch Speed, slow Processing Speed, and, of most concern, some questions about his Tenacity.
And his Athleticism, which was supposed to be his strength, didn't make the trip to the Combine.
He's been moving up the Boards, and is well considered by those I respect most, but I see poor athleticism, a lack of consistency, a lack of domination against a lesser league, slow Launch, slow Processing Speed, and questionable Tenacity. I'm diverging with the vast, vast majority on this one, most of whom are far more qualified to render an opnion than I, but I gotta call'm as I see'm!!
Bust!!

Stephen Schilling's Power in the Run Game is outstanding, though his Strength in the Pass Game needs work. He commands excellent Lateral Agility in either Game, very good Flanking Speed, and a decent Crouch. A converted O Tackle, he's still improving at O Guard, and has the upside to become a very good Starter.
Win!!

John Moffitt may have a tough time making it: He's a pretty good Croucher, but his Launch Speed is slow, his Power to Drive the Run Game is lacking, his Strength to Anchor in the Pass Game is sketchy, and he's got dubious Lateral Agility and Flanking Speed. I actually like the guy, but I just don't like his chances.
Bust!!

No way in HELL should Jason Pinkston play O Tackle in the Pros.
His lack of Height dictates that, and his lack of Range supports it.
However, his excellent Crouch, his solid Power to drive the Run Game + Strength to Anchor against the Pass Rush, as well as his superior Lateral Agility, strongly suggest that he could become an exceptional O Guard, perhaps even an All Pro. And yet he's projected to go in the 3rd or 4th Round!!
Sleeper!!
