Cole Strange

Cole Strange was PFF's highest-graded run-blocking guard in the FCS, operating heavily from a zone-running scheme. With impressive measurables - 90th percentile short-shuttle, 99th percentile broad jump - he could turn heads in the NFL if he plays up to the increased competition.

He didn't look out of place at the Senior Bowl and reportedly will make the move to center if his draft team requires it.
