This interior offensive line group is strong enough at the top to get a few names into the first round.
Jackson Powers-Johnson, Graham Barton and Troy Fautanu can play multiple positions and project to starting roles sooner rather than later. But the group beyond them is decently strong, too, as Zach Frazier and Christian Haynes would make solid Day 2 picks.
Here are the top interior offensive linemen in the class.

1. C JACKSON POWERS-JOHNSON, OREGON
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 27
Powers-Johnson possesses starting-caliber power and finesse traits at center or guard for both zone or man/gap-blocking concepts. He is dominant enough at his position to be considered a top-20 talent.
Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
2. C ZACH FRAZIER, WEST VIRGINIA
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 33
Frazier's background and build give him a high floor as a scheme-versatile center who is worthy of an early Day 2 pick and a starting role.

3. G Christian Haynes, UConn
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 60
Haynes showed in his tape and at the Senior Bowl that he has starting-potential measurables and traits for an NFL guard. His best work comes on the move, which would bode well for a zone-blocking scheme and as a puller for man/gap schemes.

4. G COOPER BEEBE, KANSAS STATE
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 93
Beebe's high football IQ should lead to a long NFL career. Unfortunately, his athletic limitations will likely limit that career to that of a backup swing lineman.

5. G MASON MCCORMICK, SOUTH DAKOTA STATE
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 95
McCormick pairs a mauling mentality with explosive athleticism. His hips are a tad stiff, which limits his flexibility, but he has the potential to be a starter in a zone-blocking scheme.

6. C SEDRICK VAN PRAN, GEORGIA
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 100
Despite some athletic limitations, Van Pran is a high-IQ center prospect whose acumen, experience and physical mentality warrant a shot at a starting role (center only) in a man/gap-heavy scheme.
Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
7. G CHRISTIAN MAHOGANY, BOSTON COLLEGE
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 106
Mahogany is a guard only and a powerful run-blocker with inconsistencies in the passing game. He projects into a rotational and potential starting role for a team that is heavier in the run game in mostly man/gap concepts.

8. C Hunter Nourzad, Penn State
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 111
Nourzard presents a well-rounded skill set and high-floor fundamentals for almost any offense, though he must get stronger to really garner a full-time starting role in the NFL.

9. G Trevor Keegan, Michigan
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 126
Keegan is smart and experienced, and he brings coordination, balance and explosiveness as an ideal guard in a man/gap scheme. He lacks true power and body density, which complicates his projection, but he does have starting-caliber traits.
Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
10. C Tanor Bortolini, Wisconsin
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 128
Bortolini brings an alluring combination of versatility, high football IQ and top-tier athleticism. He has starter qualities, but his lack of length could be a deal-breaker.
