Will an offensive striker be selected in the top three picks?
The offensive line may be the most overlooked position in the NFL, but their value is not at all lost to other positions. In the past 25 drafts, there have been a total of three offensive forwards, second only to quarterbacks and rushing passers. Therefore, the importance of the offensive front is also evident, and this year also has a large number of offensive forward players with the strength of the first round. Today, we're going to talk about the five best offensive strikers in this draft
5. Zean-Johnson, Boston College
Johnson is the only defender on this list. As a golfer, he has only officially transformed himself into a rugby player since entering college, but his learning ability is very good, and in just a few years he has grown into one of the best defenders of university football. His 6'3 height and 312 pounds make his figure perfect for the NFL, and Johnson is a player who plays with a lot of brains, without too much extra movement, and guarantees that every step he takes makes sense. The well-rounded technique also allows him to occasionally make cameos in the left-sided position. It's almost hard to see that Johnson has too many flaws, which can also help him become a starter shortly after entering the league.
4. Taylor Lindbum, University of Iowa
Lindebum is probably the best center in the draft in recent years. His athleticism is outstanding, and he is very good at converting speed into strength, which also allows him to easily contribute to the rushing attack. As a former wrestler, he is also very good at putting his specialty into the trembling of the defensive front. Whether it's pass protection or rush cover, Lindebum is able to show his amazing athleticism and balance. With The selection of Lindebonm, he will become the most effective helper for the team's quarterbacks.
3. Charles Cross, Mississippi State University
Kroos is the left-winger who is the best at rushing ball protection in this draft. Tall, but very flexible, he is also very good at observing the opponent's rushing passing action, and seize the best opportunity to send a "heart blow". In addition, Kroos has continued to improve every year, and even in the second half of the season last season, he performed better than the first half. Even against the university of Alabama, a defensive powerhouse, 66 passes protected him without releasing a quarterback pressure. Putting Kroos in another draft is likely to be the best offensive striker of the year. However, this year there are two other tougher attacking lines, Ekovanu and Neil.
2. Iggy-Ekwanu, North Carolina State University
In contrast to Kroos' passing protection, Ekovanu is a ruler of the rushing offense. In the road rush, the weight of 320 pounds combined with a pair of large long arms, coupled with excellent lower limb strength, his large hands can push away anything in front of him. So, in his college game, you can even see that the opposing defensive player will be jealous of his presence. Even, if Yugong had the support of Ekwanu in moving the mountain that year, it may be that the time needed by Yugong could be halved.
1. Evan Neal, University of Alabama
Evan Neil is an offensive behemoth, 6'7 tall, 337 pounds, and if Ekwanu's lower limb strength can tear down a mountain, Neil is a mountain in itself. However, the large size did not affect Neil's athletic ability. Although the top speed is not outstanding, Neil's starting speed is very explosive, and the large hand of 10 1/8 inches can also make many light punches overturned by him. Finally, Neil played full-time as a left winger, a right cutter, and a left cutout during college. His diversity allows you to confidently put him in almost any position on the offensive line.
