NEW ENGLAND
Reiss ESPN Boston: Quick-hit thoughts around Patriots, NFL
"3. Why would a tackle struggle moving inside to guard? Talking to scouts, one of the first things they look for is whether a tackle has the power, leverage, short-area quickness and toughness to hold up in tight quarters, as things happen faster at guard than tackle."

" On a related note, the same scout called the safety crop maybe the worst he's ever seen over two-plus decades, which could have teams looking more at cornerbacks and projecting them to safety."

Paylor KC Star: The Star's NFL mock draft, version 6.0
"9. Giants G/T Brandon Scherff, 6-5, 319, Iowa
Drafting Scherff, a mauler who best profiles as a guard, will allow them to shift 2014 second-round pick Weston Richburg back to center and boost the league’s 28th-ranked rushing offense. Scherff can even serve as insurance for left tackle Will Beatty, who turns 30 this year and bounced back after an injury-ravaged 2013 campaign.
