C1 - Ryan Kalil, USC	NFL.com Profile
Height: 6-3 Weight: 300 40 yard dash: 4.96 Grade: 90
Strengths: Ryan Kalil is considered one of the better center prospects to enter the National Football League in some time. He is extremely intelligent, athletic, and has been at the center piece of a prolific USC offensive attack for a number of years, so he knows what it is like to perform on the biggest stage that college football has to offer. Ryan Kalil is the prospect a team wants to target if they want to upgrade their center position. Weaknesses: Kalil played at 285 pounds, leading teams to believe he may be a little undersized and better suited for a zone blocking team. He bulked up in the off-season, but there will be a small number of questions in regards to his ability to play at 300 lbs. Kalil may be an excellent prospect, unfortunately for him he plays a position that is normally relegated as a ‘luxury’ position, and normally NFL teams do not target a center early in their draft process. Overall: The NFL is always moving forward, and it appears that some teams are beginning to put more of an emphasis on the interior of offensive lines, and that includes the center position. Nick Mangold, a former center prospect, was drafted at the end of Round 1 last season by the New York Jets, and Mangold was not the prospect at the center position that Kalil is. It will be interesting to see if the recent change in offensive philosophy in regards to offensive guards and centers manages to bump Kalil into the end of Round One or if he falls to the top half of Round 2 like several other outstanding center prospects in the past have.
