C Bryan Stork, Florida State -- Stork is being rated as a midrounder in this draft by most draft sites, but I can't help but think even that is dramatically overrating him. I think he's a physically limited center used in exactly the right way in Tallahassee. Watch some Florida State, and notice that they absolutely never run the ball up the gut behind him, how he usually gets plenty of help in pass protection from one of his neighboring guards, and how Florida State never puts him (or any of his teammates) in space or sends him to the second level. Stork is a vocal leader on his team, and has been a steady presence for the Seminole offensive line. But he's just no where near strong enough, and he definitely isn't athletic enough, to blow defensive lineman off the ball. He can wall off his opponents while the ball is run off tackle... That said, I think Stork would be a great investment in UDFA. He calls smart protection for his OL, and he was clearly a great presence in the FSU locker room. It's possible he lands on a team that's willing to invest in trying to round out his game.
