Left tackles Selvish Capers and Nate Solder on display tonight

Tonight's game between Colorado and West Virginia will feature arguably the two most athletic left tackle prospect in the nation.

Both Nate Solder (Colorado) and Selvish Capers (West Virginia) are fairly similar prospects. They are both converted tight ends. Both are tall and wiry players. Each has an estimated 40-yard dash time of under five seconds.

However, both have their considerable flaws. Solder, who had an outstanding 2008 season, has allowed a lot of pressure. He needs to improve his footwork and technique off the snap. He has the natural athleticism to do so. At Colorado's strength and conditioning exhibition, Solder ran a 4.86 40, registered a 34-inch vertical leap and a 622-pound squat.

Capers has similar deficiencies as Solder. His footwork is inconsistent, and he's much better on the move on pulls. He works great on the second level but can get beaten by driving defenders.

At this point in their careers, both could continue to improve, much like Jason Smith, and eventually become a top pick.

The two left tackles aren't the only players to keep an eye on. This game also features two really good running backs.

For West Virginia, it's junior Noel Devine. Yes, he is undersized, but his speed is incredible. If he gets the ball in the open field, he's very hard to track down. For the Buffalos, check out sophomore Darrell Scott. He's had an average career thus far, but he has good quickness and has a great frame. If he improves, he projects as a first-round player.

Most of the other talent in this game is ordinary. Many had high hopes for senior West Virginia quarterback Jarrett Brown entering this season, but he's been something of a letdown. He hasn't displayed much presence in the pocket, but at 6-foot-4 and more than 220 pounds, he has an NFL frame.

The game is at 7:30 on ESPN.
