In order of value on the line I'd rank them LT > LG > RT > C > RG
He's more valuable at LG than RT, however I feel his best position is LT. He looked good there every time he lined up there in '08, better than Clifton each instance (Aaron looked more comfortable with him at LT than Clifton, IMO Aaron trusts Colledge A LOT, they have developed the bodyguard relationship that I don't see with Aaron and Clifton). Unless the guy is an absolute slam dunk prospect, I would have a hard time drafting someone over Colledge to play LT. I'd put one of the big 4 over there over him, but that is all in this draft, Colledge is a better LT than Beatty or Britton right now, there is no guarantee that they'd ever be better than him, and there is a good chance that he'd outplay all of the big 4 there in '09, though they all have very high ceilings (Colledge does as well though).
If we're replacing Clifton, IMO we'd be better off taking Duke Robinson or Max Unger to play LG in the 2nd and moving Colledge to LT than taking a big LT in the first, simply because I don't see that much of a quality difference between the two options, whereas the difference in quality between the available defenders is huge.
