2009 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings – Guards (4/20)
1. Duke Robinson (Oklahoma) Has a huge frame to go with long arms and solid athleticism. Very strong and powerful. Forces his will on the opposition. Tends to be a bit inconsistent, as his technique isn’t quite perfected. Has a questionable work ethic. 2. Andy Levitre (Oregon State) Very tough and versatile. Excels in the [...]
