The draft info I've read on him have him as the only OT that would fit equally well at both LT and RT. But, since he has the ability to play LT, then he most likely will end up playing there.
Ferguson - LT
Justice - LT/RT
McNeil - RT
Scott - RT
Winston - LT
I think it's a case of Justice shooting up boards because teams know they aren't going to get Ferguson, and any team looking for an OT is overvaluing Justice. He's a great athlete, but he's not as good a player as people seem to think.
Last year Sam Baker was voted 3rd team All American, Winston Justice nothing. Sam Baker first team all Pac 10, Winston Justice honorable mention all Pac 10. Now I'm sure his reputation didn't help him and those things evaluate the player in college, not his pro potential, but in general Baker is considered the better prospect. After the Rose bowl, Anthony Munoz said not only is Baker the best Ol prospect USC has had since Boselli, he's the best LT prospect he's seen in MANY years. He said he thinks Baker is a better prospect than Ferguson because he's already 305 and only a soph and appears to have the frame to gain weight easier than Ferguson who has always played lighter.
Justice is talented for sure, but I think he's moving up mock drafts largely because the other guys on the list aren't all that good. Once you get past Ferguson there's a huge dropoff, I really liked Winston at one time but everything I read says scouts are not convinced his knee is 100%, that he really struggled last year, and he's not nearly as highly regarded as he once was.
