We also hope/think Clayborn is going to be good but he wasn't good last year albeit as a true freshman. Some argued Beckwith was the weak link last year and now he is back and we call RG solid? And Clausell has never been particularly good as a run blocker. Senior hasn't moved to RT b/c you can't be 280 pounds and play RT in the SEC. Day is an above average Center due to all of the playing time, but his injury has been rumored to be somewhat serious. This is the unit that may prevent us from hitting our high expectations.
We'll just have to disagree on the OL

Clayborn was very good for true freshman at the end of the season last year. Everybody seems to think Chris Jones is going to be All-SEC, well he wasnt winning anymore than 50% of the battles with Clayborn this Spring.

Clausell is good SEC LT and will be signed by an NFL team as FA at worst

Who said Beckwith was a weak link? Go back and watch the Egg Bowl and you will change your opinion

Day is a good SEC Center

Whether he has played RT or not- Malone has been an SEC starter and played live football in the trenches. Myself and others wondered why he wasnt at Tackle in the first place.

Johnson is experienced
Flowers redshirted and had a great Spring
Senior is a solid back-up
Warren was getting better everyday.

I feel really good about 9 of our guys. Not to mention- we have 3-4 TE's that can play and help out our OT's if we have problems somewhere. It's already rumored we plan to run some 3 TE sets to be more physical
