Round 3, Pick 27: Chris Colmer

Chris Colmer
OT | (6'5", 310, 5.35) | NORTH CAROLINA ST
Scouts Grade: 79
Flags: (D: DURABILITY) Player that can't stay healthy

We finally address our OL -- what I consider our biggest need -- late in the third round. Colmer seems like a solid pick here, he dropped down to the end of the 3rd round because of an illness that made him sit out the whole 2003 season. Otherwise, he would have gone higher. So if he's healthy and recovered, we may have gotten good value.

It's already been announced that with the addition of Colmer, Anthony Davis is going to switch over to guard and compete with Jeb Terry, 4th round pick Dan Buenning, and underachiever Matt Stinchcomb for Cosey Coleman's vacated RG position. I'm guessing Colmer will back Kenyatta Walker up at RT, although with aging Derrick Deese at LT, there's no gaurantee that Walker won't be moved back to the left side at some point.

The line is in flux again this offseason, and it doesn't look to be in any better immediate shape than it was last year, although the draft picks will help with cheap depth and hopefully long-term stability.
