AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT SEES HOW MUCH TALENT AND POTENTIAL RYAN HARRIS HAS?

I have him in my top 10 at OT. I think he's a true LT at the next level. I expect some major growth this year.

One of the most athletic tackles around...if I rank solely on pass blocking he is top 5...especially the way he gets out on screens and in the open field. If I rank soley on run blocking he probably doesn't crack my top 40 overall, needs more balance in his game. He could easily be top 10 before the end of the season...just need to see some progress in the run blocking game.

SDOGO

I would be worried about it more if he was an OG. He will benefit greatly from some strength conditioning and another year with Weis. Fair analysis overall.

HE'S DEFINITELY IN MY TOP 5 RIGHT NOW DESPITE HIM STILL NEEDING TO WORK ON HIS STRENGTH AND RUN BLOCKING SOME. JUST WEIRD TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE NOT GIVE HIM ENOUGH CREDIT IN THESE PRE SEASON RANKINGS, WHEN HIS TALENT IS PRETTY SIMILAR TO A GUY WHO JUST WENT #4 IN THE DRAFT.

I don't disagree with you on that but you know my feelings on Ferguson....I still think Marcus McNeill was the best tackle in the draft.

Although i'm a bit of a ND hater, I have to agree with Mouse to some degree on Harris. It's easy to find maulers anywhere, but true pass blockers with feet like his are hard to find an any draft. An NFL conditioning program can turn a guy like Harris into a competent run blocker but you can't teach a straight mauler to pass protect too easily. He has a shot at the first round and as said above he has the perfect HC.

DJ what can you tell me about Cedric Gagne-Marcoux he wasn't even on my radar.

AS a PSU fan I just don't see him being that highly ranked. It must be a bad year for OTs.

At the very best he's a Kareem McKenzie but he's much more likely to be an Andre Johnson IMO.

Seems to get overlooked a lot...not very big but very durable and a good long snapper as well. Has started every year at Central FLorida and as a sophomore and junior he played every offensive and special teams snap the team took...very impressive. Is canadian and was taken in the first round of the last CFL Draft by Hamilton (think he went #6 overall). Nothing flashy about him, just as consistent as they come at the position.
