Scouts are hoping that history repeats itself with Dockery. Like his older brother Derrick, comes to the NFL after a storied career along the Longhorn offensive line. Also like his brother, there are flashes of athleticism in Cedric's play, but he remains a largely inconsistent blocker. An early standout at right guard, Dockery missed half of the 2006 season with a torn ACL, but returned in 2007 to earn honorable mention and solidify himself as one of the country's better interior linemen. With only marginal improvement as a senior, however, Dockery is more of a late-round prospect with upside, nowhere near the third-round pick his brother was in 2003.
