2011 NFL Mock Draft: Philadelphia Eagles Select Clint Boling at No. 54

2011 NFL Mock Draft: Philadelphia Eagles Draft Clint Boling From Georgia

Philadelphia is going to have to continue to find ways to protect Mike Vick.

Granted it?s hard to do so when Vick is scrambling all over the place, but a solid offensive line makes a very big difference.

I think the Eagles are going to select Clint Boling with pick No. 54 in the 2011 NFL Draft.

He played tackle at Georgia, but it looks like he will be a better fit at guard in the NFL.

Either way he would be a huge addition to an Eagles team that could use some depth on the front line.

Chris Leeuw broke Boling down from the Dolphins perspective in his draft spotlight on PhinPhanatic.com

Georgia?s 6?5 310-pound Clint Boling ? a 4 year starter in the SEC ? might be a name to watch on Day 2 or 3 of the draft. He?s big, fits the mold, and has built a reputation as an incredibly smart, high character guy with tremendous inside strength.

I?ve seen Boling mocked as early as Round 2 and as late as Round 4, so there?s a chance he could be there when Miami?s on the clock in the third. If the Dolphins are looking to come away with a player that could challenge Nate Garner or John Jerry for a starting spot, waiting later than the third round will diminish their chances greatly. Most draft gurus are calling the Guard class relatively weak, and there are several scouting reports out there that seem to think Boling could be starter caliber from day one.

Looks and sounds good to me, especially at No. 54
