OG2 - Ben Grubbs, Auburn Ben Grubbs

NFL.com Profile

Height: 6-2
Weight: 311
40 yard dash: 5.20
Grade: 88
Strengths:
Ben Grubbs fits the ideal mode for what NFL scouts and GMs are looking for when they scout for offensive guards. What Ben Grubbs succeeds at more than every other offensive guard prospect in the 2007 Draft class is the ability to block the initial pass rusher and then transition to the second level. Ben Grubbs is the best “pure” offensive guard prospect in this draft.
Weaknesses:
Ben Grubbs could still use some work on technique. He was a former defensive prospect so he has only been an offensive line prospect for a short period of time. Versatility could be an issue as well, as Grubbs doesn’t have the skill set to become a tackle in any capacity at the NFL level, and he is left handed and some scouts feel that he would struggle if asked to play right guard.
Overall:
This past off-season has been a time when many offensive guards have cashed in on the open market of free agency. Offensive guards are getting the treatment that was prior only reserved for offensive tackles, so the NFL mindset in regards to offensive lines overall is in a period of transition. Ben Grubbs has the talent to start at Left Guard for the vast majority of NFL teams right now, and although he may be regarded as an early-mid second round talent, he could sneak into the end of round one if a team is willing to focus their attention to the interior of their offensive line.
