Spring is in the air.  The temps are warming.  The bulky, winter clothes are dwindling.  And sometimes true beauty that is covered all winter is finally revealed.

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Offensive tackle (part three)

Okay, so we’ve covered the tackles who are considered “first round talents.” But let’s be honest - anyone could have done that.

For our second (and final) day of discussing offensive tackles, we’ll be focusing on two groups: second/third round talents and mid-to-late-round gems.
