  Draft Scout by Conference









  The biggest question - literally - is who replaces the biggest and most imposing player on N.C. State's roster. Ikem Ekwonu protected Leary's blindside a year ago. In April, Ekwonu was the first offensive player selected in the NFL draft, sixth overall by the Carolina Panthers. Redshirt sophomore Anthony Belton will probably get the first shot. While he has the measurables (6-6, 330), the Tallahassee, Fla., native doesn't have the experience. Belton was on the field for just 11 snaps a year ago. He started at left tackle during the spring game in April.

Belton should benefit from having four experienced starters to his right. "I think we have a bunch of dudes that are trying to compete to get that starting spot that Ickey was in, but I know with the other four offensive linemen that we have coming back that they hold that room to a high standard," Leary said at ACC Kickoff. "Whoever it is filling into that role, they understand that the other four offensive linemen will be counting on them, just as they did on Ickey." Veteran Bryson Speas, who started every game a year ago at right tackle, has the ability to play on the left side. If Doeren decides to go with the experienced Speas (24 starts) at left tackle, redshirt sophomore Tim McKay could start at the right tackle spot. - Raleigh News Observer
