FOR THE 12th straight year, NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock will break down each of the positions in the draft for the Daily News, providing his assessment of the best player at each position, as well as his top riser and sleeper. Mayock, 54, resides in Newtown Square and is a graduate of the Haverford School. A former safety, he was a 10th-round pick of the Steelers in 1981 and played two seasons with the Giants (1982-83).
OFFENSIVE TACKLES
THE BEST
Name: Luke Joeckel
School: Texas A&M
Height, weight: 6-6, 303
40 time: 5.25
225 bench: 27
Arms: 34 1/4 inches
Round projection: 1
AND
Name: Eric Fisher
School: Central Michigan
Height, weight: 6-7, 306
40 time: 5.03
225 bench: 27
Arms: 34 1/2 inches
Round projection: 1
Mayock: "Joeckel is a little more solid right now than Fisher, but Fisher has more upside. Once or twice a game, every game I watched, somebody crossed Joeckel's face and beat him. But Johnny Football [A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel] cleans all that up because he's so talented. [Joeckel] oversets a little bit, but that's picking nits to be perfectly honest with you. Joeckel is more ready to play right now because of technique and the quality of competition he faced at A&M.
