Patriots' Dante Scarnecchia at FSU pro day

Retired New England Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia is lending a hand to the club with draft evaluations, as he attended the NFL combine and was spotted at Florida State's pro day on Tuesday.

Given the Patriots' success in selecting center Bryan Stork out of Florida State in 2014, let's take a closer look at the Seminoles' blockers that Scarnecchia was evaluating this year:

Austin Barron (6-foot-2 1/8, 286 pounds) -- Was the initial replacement for Stork at center in 2014 before breaking his arm and leading to a shift up front. Is the most undersized prospect of the group, but might have some flexibility to play all three interior spots. Later-round to free-agent projection.

Cameron Erving (6-foot-5 1/2, 313 pounds) -- Has the combination of physical traits (e.g. 34 1/8 arm length), experience, versatility and intangibles that would seem to make him an ideal fit for the Patriots. He potentially projects to all five positions on the line, which is rare, as he made the unconventional switch from left tackle to center in 2014 when Barron was injured. A former defensive lineman, he is listed at No. 17 on ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr.'s "Big Board" and NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock has him rated as his second interior offensive lineman, which makes it unlikely he'll last to the No. 32 pick of the first round.

Bobby Hart (6-foot-4 3/4, 329 pounds) -- Florida State's right tackle the last 28 games, he also has experience at guard. He's a later-round projection, with ESPN ranking him 24th. A younger prospect who turned 20 in August, he will probably be viewed as a two-year project from a physical development standpoint. He expects to be moved to guard in the NFL.

Tre' Jackson (6-foot-3, 330 pounds) -- With 42 career starts at FSU, he has extensive playing experience against some of the best players in the country, not to mention NFL-type size for the guard position. He's rated by ESPN as the No. 2 guard in this year's class, with a projection as a second-round pick. His hand size (10 7/8) stands out, while some analysts pointed out he entered 2014 with high expectations from a draft-related standpoint and didn't necessarily meet them in his final collegiate season, or in the combine.

Josue Matias (6-foot-5 1/2, 309 pounds) -- He made 43 straight starts to finish out his college career, moving from tackle to guard early in his time at Florida State. He has NFL-type length and is considered by analysts to be a stronger pass-blocker than run-blocker at this time. Matias, whose family immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic when he was 7 years old, turned 22 on Jan. 26. ESPN has him rated as its 14th guard.
