[Untouchable]

Troy Pauline is a draft analyst who always seems to have very good sources when it comes to what teams are thinking.  He's been writing about how draft boards have been shaping up lately at certain position going into the combine.  He goes into more detail on the topic in the links below but here's the quick overview.

TE:

1. Dallas Goedart, SD State (Possible late 1^st)

2. Ian Thomas, Indiana (Possible Top-42 Pick)

3. Hayden Hurst, S Carolina (Possible Top-45)

4. Mike Gesicki, PSU

5. Mark Andrews, Oklahoma/Dalton Shultz, Stanford (Possible late 3^rd)

G:

1. Quinten Nelson, ND

2. Isaiah Wynn, Georgia/ Will Hernandez, UTEP

C:

1. Billy Price, OSU

2. James Daniels, Iowa (Possible 2^nd)

LB:

1. Tremaine Edmunds, VT (Possible Top-12)

2. Roquan Smith, Georgia

3. Leighton Vander Esch, Boise (Big drop off after Top 3)

4. Rashaan Evans, Bama

5. Josey Jewell (Iowa)/Lorenzo Carter (Georgia)/Darius Leonard (SC State)

OT:

- McGlinchey (ND) is viewed as the only LT worthy of a 1^st.

- Orlando Brown (Oklahoma) viewed as a RT and a late 1^st.

- Okorafor (Western Michigan), O’Neill (Pitt) and Miller (UCLA) all viewed as second-day selections that need grooming.
