DJ Humphries - OT Florida Gators

[gettlemanjack]

ex-scout Bryan Broaddus shares his thoughts on the OL at the combine :

"Just watching these offensive line workouts, it appears that there are more candidates to line up on the right side than on the left, which could help the Cowboys in case they have to go that direction. The tackles that worked out well enough to consider on that left side were T.J. Clemmings, Jake Fisher, Laurence Gibson (of VT) and D.J. Humphries. I wouldn’t be afraid to put anyone of these guys I mentioned on the right side as well."

247Sports NFL Mock Draft v. 3.0 also has us taking Humphries:

(off the board were Scherff, Peat, La'el Collins, and Flowers)

25. Carolina Panthers – D.J. Humphries, OT, Florida

No offensive lineman helped their stock at the NFL Combine more than Humphries, who showcased left tackle athleticism in Indianapolis. When scouts go back to watch his film, they will find a nasty blocker with the wingspan and recovery speed to match up with pass rushers in the NFL. Cam Newton deserves a franchise blindside protector, and in Humphries, Dave Gettleman fixes the biggest mistake of 2014 – not replacing Jordan Gross with comparable talent.
