Four offensive tackles heard their names called on the first day of the 2010 draft, including three in the first 11 picks, but there does not appear to be the same kind of depth at the top of the 2011 class.

Only three prospects have first-round grades at this point and none project in the top half of the first round.

Here's how we break down the top five tackles on our board at this point in the process.
