Mayock's take: Offensive tackles
NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock, a Newtown Square resident, will break down each position in advance of the draft for Daily News readers. Here is Part 5 with his take on the offensive tackles:
BEST
Matt Kalil, USC
6-6 5/8, 306
Arm: 34 ½
40-yard dash: 4.99
225-bench: 30
Projected Round: 1 (picks 3-5)
Mayock: "Kalil is far and away the best tackle prospect in this draft. Barring a trade, I think he will go 3 to Minnesota and be a plug-and-play guy at left tackle. He's a gifted foot athlete. He's got long arms. He needs to develop his core strength, which is typical for a lot of these guys. He's a little bit like Joe Thomas when he came out. He's a special athlete. He can play.''
RISER
Cordy Glenn, Georgia
6-5 ¾, 345
Arm: 35 ¾
40-yard dash: 5.15
225-bench: 31
Projected Round: 2
Mayock: "You're talking about a kid who's almost 6-6 and 345 pounds with arms like vines. When you talk about girth and length, he's huge. Some people are getting a little carried away with projections. I'm seeing him all over the place in first-round mock drafts. I don't see that. I don't see him as a left tackle. He's not a foot athlete. I'm not even sure I see him as a right tackle. But if he can't survive at right tackle, I think he's got the size, girth and demeanor to be a potential All-Pro guard.''
SLEEPER
Mark Zusevics, Iowa
6-5, 303
Arm: 33
40-yard dash: 5.09
225-bench: NA
Projected Round: 5
Mayock: ''He played right tackle at Iowa and probably will go in the fifth round. He's not really a sleeper, but he's undervalued. He played through some injuries. He's not flashy. But like most Iowa offensive linemen, he's well-coached, tough, and in a year or two, you might have a starting right tackle.''
