(not counting Maurkice of course) The only one who even comes close is Iupati who I watched all year and the dude cannot pass block for shiz. Going back further is Mankins but I believe Pouncey is a better run blocker and equally as good in pass pro. We're talking about a can't miss who also could be a first year all-pro. The same could not be said (as confidently) about any of the others.
Fairley is good but Suh was better.
Dareus is good but Raji was better.
Rodney Hudson is better then Pouncey is. Hudson in fact has graded out the best O-Linemen since Jon Ogden came out. Hudson was a starter since his freshmen season. He is a better Center for sure. But even as a Guard he graded out better then anyone. In 2008, against Boston College, Hudson was credited for 6 " Pancake " blocks on BJ Raji....6 my friend in ONE game! You know how many other times Raji was Pancaked in his college career ?...ZERO! Hudson has had no penalties called on him the past 2 years, and only 1 his entire career at Florida State. Pouncey is credited for having 17 penalties called on him just this past season alone. And Hudson has allowed only 1 1/2 sacks in his entire 4 years at Florida State.
Sorry my friend but that sure sounds like the BEST OG in this draft to me.
Peterson is good but Revis was better.
Miller is good but Matthews/Merrimen were better.
And I won't even address OT, WR, QB, TE, RB.
