Jets offseason primer: interior offensive line

Jets offseason primer: interior offensive line

John Michael Schmitz, Minnesota

Schmitz was an exciting prospect to watch down in Mobile, Alabama at the Senior Bowl and made a case to be one of the first centers taken in April’s draft. The Jets could double-dip on offensive line to start the draft with a tackle at No. 13 and Schmitz in round two.

O’Cyrus Torrence, Florida

Torrence could have entered the draft last year but wanted to prove himself against top competition in college before heading to the NFL. After three successful years at Louisiana, Torrence followed Billy Napier to Florida and absolutely proved himself against SEC competition and then did so again at the Senior Bowl. The concern is that Torrence may not be available for the Jets in the second round. He has some first-round buzz to him. Still, a player the caliber of Torrence would add a nasty streak to the Jets’ offensive line.

Olesugun Oluwatimi, Michigan

If the Jets want to wait until the middle rounds for a center, Oluwatimi is another player that looked good at the Senior Bowl and was a top-ten center at Pro Football Focus last season. He was arguably the leader of the Michigan offensive line that produced a very efficient ground game — 5th-best in the nation at 238.9 yards per game — that helped carry the Wolverines to another Big Ten championship and another appearance in the College Football Playoff before losing a thriller against TCU in the Fiesta Bowl.
