1st round picks 15-18: Dolphins get help on the offensive line in drafting Pouncey
By Dominique Wise on April 29, 2011
Pouncey instantly upgrades the Dolphins offensive line!
15. Dolphins select Florida’s C/OG Mike Pouncey:
Analysis: Pouncey is a great run blocker and adequate pass blocker. He plays with a nasty mean streak and addresses a major need on the Dolphins sub par offensive line.
16. Redskins select Purdue’s DE Ryan Kerrigan:
Analysis: Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslet loves players who can rush the quarterback and are solid against the run. Solid pick by the Redskins.
17. Patriots select Colorado’s OT Nate Solder:
Analysis: Veteran LT Matt Light is a free agent and probably won’t return. The Patriots had to find a replacement and they did a good job in selecting Solder. Solder is a solid young LT with a lot of upside.
18. Chargers select Illinois DT Corey Liuget:
Analysis: I question this pick. Liuget is a talented DT. But I don’t think he fits the Chargers scheme.
