191st overall-Gabe Ikard-Oklahoma- Ikard might be the smartest linemen in the entire draft. Great leadership ability, and his intangibles are plentiful. pretty good short area quickness. Best 20 yard and short shuttle of any offensive linemen in the entire draft. Best in a zone blocking scheme like the Bears run. He’s a center, but can play Guard too.

Alternate pick-Bryan Stork-Florida State- Stork is a smart, competitive player with high football character and intangibles. He also has a great size/speed ratio. Very athletic and projects well in a zone scheme, but can handle strong powerful interior defenders too. Can get to the second level and handle himself in a phone-booth. Has played Guard and Center so positional versatility is another quality he brings with him to his next team.
