C Draft Prospects
by N Barnett Dec. 12, 2006
1) Dan Mozes, 6'3" 295 lbs, West Virginia
A 4 year starter, Mozes has the potential to be an elite NFL center. Shifted over from guard midway through his junior season. Has good speed and strength. Mozes has a great motor and plays to the whistle. Needs more experience with the shotgun and longsnapping but could become a very good NFL player.
NFL pro comparison: Jeff Hartings
2) Ryan Kalil, 6'3" 285 lbs, USC
Kalil is very technically sound. Very durable and a hard worker. His size limits him a bit and he will need to bulk up in order to play in the NFL. Shows good agility and quickness off the snap. His father was also a center in the NFL. Kalil can also long snap. Could develop into a good player down the road.

4) Doug Datish, 6'4" 295 lbs, Ohio State
Formerly one of the Nation's best High School offensive lineman. Datish has experience all over the offensive line but projects to be a center in the NFL. Good size with room to get a little bigger. Datish is very consistant and quickly rising on the draft charts. Very good potential who should be a 2nd round pick come April.

Sendlein is a very gifted athlete who has a very good speed to size ratio. Versitle enough to play center and guard. Very good run blocker who uses his athleticism to push back his opponent. An underrated guy who could be a very good NFL player when he gains some more experience.
