This list seems like a pretty good start, for looking at Players. Personally I find Mayock's analysis pretty good over the years!

Looks clearly that Mike Mayock has finally placed Brandon Scherff, Iowa into the OG cadre & excluded Scherff from the OT cadre. This fact will certainly have an effect on him from being the first OL'er selected in the top 10 where normally that an area for OLT not OLG's. Scherff has been basically a left side guy too ....Most all do agree that he does need work on a quicker pass pro set. Brandon He has 33" arms whereas Rams center Barrett Jones arm length is 34 1/8. Scherff may be an emergency back up @ OLT in bad times. Below is some newer stuff put on him this is mostly some of the concerns. Coaches say that Scherff can run his first 10 yards in 1.58 to 1.60 seconds. Our own Greg Robinson clocked a 1.68 at the NFL Combine.

Will default to sumo-style power push rather than leg churning at times. Not a grab-and-control pass protector. Opens the gate earlier than you would like against edge rushers offering two-way goes. Tightly wound lower body with average bend. Sometimes gives one-shot effort on second-level blocks, allowing his man back into the play. Has dominant finishing traits, but not a consistent finisher of blocks
Bottom Line
Like former Hawkeye Riley Reiff, Scherff has measurables and traits to play tackle in the league but might be better suited to play guard. More powerful than explosive, Reiff is not a scheme-specific talent and can maul or move in run game. Road-grader with pancake-man potential, but has holes in his pass protection that will be exposed on the next level -- especially at tackle.

I think Brandon looks more like Joe Staley, San Francisco 49ers if Brandon is even close then we need to draft him.

this list took me by surprise

I actually agree with pretty much all of that, cooper and white are 1a and 1b really so they could go either way.

Totally agree. I've understood the Mayock hate. I love hearing his analysis and commentary. Sure the hell beats the espn guys..

Eh. Pretty uninspiring.
