MOBILE, Ala. — If the Cincinnati Bengals are in the market for a defensive tackle in this year's draft, expect the team to look no further than the two monsters they are coaching here in Mobile.

Boston College defensive tackles B.J. Raji (6-foot-2, 334 pounds) and Ron Brace (6-3, 324) are having a phenomenal week of practice at the Senior Bowl. They are having their way with the North squad offensive linemen and are tough to ignore.

The behemoth tackles have been very disruptive and dominating in just about every drill. Raji has collapsed the interior line like a bulldozer and is living in the backfield. His counterpart, Brace, has shown a quick first step, good hand technique and explosion at the point of attack.

North squad teammate offensive tackle Trevor Canfield (Cincinnati) said after practice on Tuesday, Jan. 20, that he's used to blowing D-linemen off the line 10 yards or more, but with the BC tackles, we're talking one maybe 2 yards. He said they are a force and tough to move.

Both tackles are strong and powerful and feed off one another. They are the two top defensive tackles on display. Raji's stock is on the rise, and he could end up being a top-10 pick if he tests out well for scouts.

Louisville center Eric Wood, who the Bengals are believed to have their eye on, has come under mixed reviews during drills this week. However, he continues to solidify his draft status as one of the top prospects at the position. Many NFL scouts feel that Wood is more of a gamer than practice freak.

The former Cincinnati Elder High School football star is a hard-nosed player who is extremely tough in the trenches. He's a mauler and warrior. Wood is a versatile lineman with decent lateral movement, anchors well and shows good overall technique.

Virginia Tech center Ryan Shuman caught some eyes in Wednesday's practice when he got big Brace on the ground on a couple plays.

Acquisition of a center is a top priority for the Bengals.

According to sources, there have been no discussions between the Bengals organization and representatives for free-agent center Eric Ghiaciuc regarding a new contract.

In case you're wondering who the Bengals have their eye on in Mobile, it's simple. Everyone!
