NFL lockout: Top UDFA offensive linemen

With the NFL lockout coming to an end soon, undrafted players from the 2011 NFL Draft will finally be able to sign with teams. This weekend we'll continue to look at some of the top available players your team may be considering.

Tim Barnes | 6'4, 310 pounds | C | Missouri
Barnes is purely a phone booth blocker in a power scheme. While that limits his versatility some, he has the power base to anchor in the middle at the NFL level.

Kristofer O'Dowd | 6'5, 300 pounds | C | Southern California
Despite several serious injuries, O'Dowd showed at USC that he's an athletic blocker. He could be really good in a zone scheme where he can move around more.

Offensive tackles:

Derek Hall

| 6’5, 300 pounds | OT | Stanford
David Mims | 6’8, 331 pounds | OT | Virginia Union

Willie Smith

| 6’5, 290 pounds | OT | East Carolina
Guards:
Justin Boren | 6’3, 320 pounds | G | Ohio State

Zach Hurd

| 6’7, 325 pounds | OT/G | Connecticut

Carl Johnson

| 65, 353 pounds | G | Florida
Centers:

Chase Beeler

| 6’3, 285 pounds | C | Stanford

Jake Kirkpatrick

| 6’2, 301 pounds | C | TCU

Ryan Pugh

| 6’1, 290 pounds | C | Auburn

Zane Taylor

| 6’2, 309 pounds | C | Utah
