There looks like a lot of good O-linemen available. It makes me wonder how many will be taken in the first round and what/who will be available in the second and beyond. I've read that Iupati is trying to show he can play tackle at the combine.

Bruce Campbell's arms measured nearly 37 inches. He's a monster. I really hope we end up with either him, Okung, or Davis.
Campbell's an athletic freak (think he runs like a 4.67 40) but there are concerns about his ability to stay healthy and more importantly with how raw he is. He'll be a 1st round pick based on ability but he's projected as a long term project.
Heard Davis didn't interview too well. Talent wise he's probably the best of the LTs but he does carry question marks

Iupati measured 6'5", 331 lbs, not sure about the arm length. Spoke with the Bills and Falcons today
Brown spoke with the Chargers
34 3/4 arm length for Iupati
Jason Fox (who apparently the Redskins talked to, can't confirm) 6'7", 303 lbs, 34 arm length

Jimmy Clausen 6'2, 222 lbs (that should answer the questions about whether he's even over 6 feet)
Sam Bradford 6'4, 235 lbs
I thought it was kinda funny that people were seriously questioning Clausen's height to begin with. Just eyeballing him on TV you can tell he's over 6'.

Waiting to hear on Colt McCoy's height and weight
Curious about Bradford's weight. Is that added muscle?
Agreed. I just mean that when it's all said and done I hope we end up with one of those three. That includes the possibility of us trading down.
Anyone see Tebow on NFL Total Access tonight? He's so impressive.
I did. I'm rooting for the guy now just to shut up the naysayers. I think some team is going to end up with a possible steal if they bring him along slowly and coach him up right.

Colt McCoy 6'1, 216 lbs (I think the hope was he'd be a bit taller)
Tim Tebow 6'2, 235 lbs (almost 6'3)
JEVAN SNEAD!!!!! 6'3, 219 lbs

I agree. When a team drafts a "project" they need to be pretty confident that the guy has the desire, work ethic and intelligence to improve himself, i.e. that he's very coachable. Tebow fits that to a T. He might end up as a career backup, but that's not bad for a guy many think can't even make a team.
One thing that is almost certain about him; he's comfortable in the spotlight & used to a lot of attention. He's not likely to crack under pressure like R. Leaf, who was just overwhelmed w/his situation.

Shanahan will be addressing the media around 10:45 today. I'll try to keep everyone updated on what he says
