Michael Oher, OT

    Selected:

  • College: Ole Miss
  • Age: 22
  • Height: 6-foot-5
  • Weight: 305 lbs.
  • 2008 Stats: 13 starts, credited with 99 knockdown blocks, 2.5 sacks allowed




Scouting Report: Big body that will be expected to get even bulkier upon arrival in the league. Capable of being a very productive run or pass blocker, but consistency will be the key. Quick feet help him get in good position. Only three years experience at left tackle. Needs to develop more strength.

2009 Outlook: Oher looks like he'll eventually make a very, very good lineman in the NFL once he fills out and nails down his technique. It won't be an overnight thing -- this is not like sliding Jake Long into Miami's lineup in 2008. He will need a little time.
