Class of 2004: Murtha tops offensive tackles
Ed.'s note: Lemming's OT ranking was revised Jan. 27, 2004.
There's been a little bit of movement in my offensive tackle top 25. Herman Johnson has moved up to the No. 2 spot behind Lydon Murtha. I've also dropped Glen Davis from No. 2 to No. 6 because he might just play hoops for LSU.
There might be a few more changes before Signing Day, so check back to see who drops out, drops down or moves up the list.
