C Nick Mangold (All American, B1G Champion, National Champion, 7x Pro-bowler)

I have always been a big fan of Nick's and I think he will have a very successful career, b/c he has shown that he has great quickness and has the stregth to block the big fast guys.

I think he would prosper in a system like Denver or ATL.

I look for him to be the second center off the board behind Eslinger, and he will probably be a third round pick.

Another report (ESPiN insider):
However, Nick Mangold showed a lot of athletic ability at center. The Ohio State product did a good job anchoring the line. He showed more strength than many thought he had.

Kiper:

Oklahoma DL Dusty Dvoracek struggled Tuesday. Ohio State center Nick Mangold got the best of Dvoracek in the one-on-one rush drills. Mangold had another great day. He has proved that he is not a finesse player. Mangold is strong and technically sound. He looks like he could move into the first round but will probably go in the second round.

North players who shined Tuesday

DB Daniel Bullocks, Nebraska
OL D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Virginia
LB Chad Greenway, Iowa
RB Jerome Harrison, Washington State
CB Tye Hill, Clemson
LB Abdul Hodge, Iowa
LB D'Qwell Jackson, Maryland
TE Joe Klopfenstein, Colorado
OL Nick Mangold, Ohio State
DB David Pittman, Northwestern State
DB Anthony Smith, Syracuse
FB Lawrence Vickers, Colorado
WR Demetrius Williams, Oregon

EDIT Didn't see this anywhere else, but this was posted for the previous day (Monday) by Scout, Inc.:

Ferguson stood out as clearly the most agile offensive lineman the North roster today. However, Ohio State OC Nick Mangold turned in the most impressive overall performance. Mangold has adequate size and feet to go along with his outstanding technique and explosive power. He is polished and should be ready to start as a rookie in the NFL.

It's nice to see Nick getting positive reviews in the Senior Bowl preparations. It's going to be nice to have SOMEBODY to root for in the game. I think I agree that he will be second only to Hawk in terms of difficulty to replace in '06, although Santonio is close in that regard. I also hope he ends up on a team that appears on TV here in the Southwest with some frequency. While I still root for Browns and Bengals, they rarely appear on TV here.
Go Bucks!

Senior Bowl Practice Buzz (Wednesday -- provided by Scout, Inc)

• Finally, after two days in full pads, the Senior Bowl saw its first fight of the 2006 practice week. Ohio State OC Nick Mangold took exception to Oklahoma ILB Clint Ingram knocking his helmet off during team drills. Mangold began violently swinging at Ingram, who dodged the initial barrage and began to swing back. After a few seconds of Mangold and Ingram unsuccessfully attempting to land haymakers on one another, Iowa OLB Chad Greenway stepped in and played peacekeeper.

More on the Mangold-Ingram fight from NFLDraft Countdown:
For the offense the session was punctuated by a fight between Nick Mangold and LB Clint Ingram. I'm not talking about slapping and pushing but rather full swings, blows to the head and blood. Eventually Chad Greenway broke it up, furthering his reputation as a team leader.

That's 2 different versions of that tussle.

One says "unsuccessfully attempting to land haymakers", and the other says "full swings, blows to the head and blood".

I saw a part of yesterday's practice. Mangold and Gabe Watson were going at it pretty good during a 1-v-1 pass rush/protect drill.
