Projected 40 Time: 5.20.
Projected Round (2024): 2-3.
View Ranking History

2/20/23: Truss was the starting left guard for the Bulldogs in 2022 and had a strong season. He was a reliable interior pass protector and an effective run blocker. With his size, weight and length, Truss is a massive interior blocker. It will be interesting to see if Georgia moves him to tackle in 2023.





Previous Seasons

  • '22 - Zion Johnson, Boston College
  • '21 - Rashawn Slater, Northwestern
2. Kansas State image Cooper Beebe, G, Kansas State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 322.
Projected 40 Time: 5.25.
Projected Round (2024): 2-3.
View Ranking History

2/20/23: Beebe was an offensive tackle for a couple of seasons before settling in as a guard in 2022. He was superb in pass protection, not allowing a sack while being a steady run blocker for Deuce Vaughn. Beebe will enter the NFL with a lot of experience and developed technique.



Previous Seasons

  • '22 - Luke Goedeke, Central Michigan
  • '21 - Trey Smith, Tennessee
3. Arkansas image Beaux Limmer, G, Arkansas
Height: 6-5. Weight: 302.
Projected 40 Time: 5.25.
Projected Round (2024): 2-3.
View Ranking History

2/20/23: Limmer was a steady interior blocker for the Razorbacks over the past few seasons. As a senior, it would help him to show more strength and add some weight to his frame for the NFL.



Previous Seasons

  • '22 - Ed Ingram, LSU
  • '21 - Wyatt Davis, Ohio State
4. West Virginia image Zach Frazier, G/C, West Virginia
Height: 6-3. Weight: 306.
Projected 40 Time: 5.20.
Projected Round (2024): 2-3.
View Ranking History

2/20/23: As an underclassman, Frazier was a good blocker for West Virginia, starting his freshman season at guard before moving to center as a sophomore. Frazier did not allow a sack during his freshman season at guard before giving up three sacks in 2021. In 2022, he was the starting center and allowed only one sack all season. Center could be Frazier's best fit in the NFL.





Previous Seasons

  • '22 - Jamaree Salyer, Georgia
  • '21 - Aaron Banks, Notre Dame
5. Alabama image Javion Cohen, G, Alabama
Height: 6-4. Weight: 305.
Projected 40 Time: 5.20.
Projected Round (2024): 2-4.
View Ranking History

2/20/23: Cohen saw only 27 snaps as a backup in 2020, but he was still an All-SEC Freshman Team selection. In 2021, Cohen won the starting left guard spot and played well for Alabama. He did a very good job of opening holes for Brian Robinson and was consistent at protecting Bryce Young. Cohen has a good skill set and could rise as a junior.



Previous Seasons

  • '22 - Luke Fortner, Kentucky
  • '21 - Robert Hainsey, Notre Dame
6. Clemson image Marcus Tate*, G/OT, Clemson
Height: 6-5. Weight: 325.
Projected 40 Time: 5.20.
Projected Round (2024): 3-4.

Previous Seasons

  • '22 - Marquis Hayes, Oklahoma
  • '21 - Quinn Meinerz, Wisconsin-Whitewater
7. Clemson image Will Putnam, G/C, Clemson
Height: 6-4. Weight: 315.
Projected 40 Time: 5.25.
Projected Round (2024): 3-5.
View Ranking History

2/20/23: Putnam enters his senior year having been a 3-year starter for the Tigers. He played guard for the Tigers in 2020 and 2021 before taking over as the starting center in 2022. Putnam improved over each season, and while center could be his best position for the next level, he offers interior flexibility for playing guard or serving as the man in the middle.



Previous Seasons

  • '22 - Chasen Hines, LSU
  • '21 - Royce Newman, Ole Miss
