NFL Draft 2012: Who's The No. 2 Offensive Tackle?

I didn't intend for this to turn into draft day around here but whatever. We talked about the latest 2012 NFL mock draftat SI.com which, like ESPN's Mel Kiper, has the Kansas City Chiefs selecting DT Devon Still. As I said in that post, I'm leaning towards an offensive lineman in this draft.

You have Matt Kalil out of USC, who should be one of the top few picks in the draft, as the No. 1 offensive tackle right now. Things can change as we hit the Combine, team workouts and all that but he's considered the top guy at this point and he likely won't be available when the Chiefs pick at 11 or 12.

So who's the second best offensive tackle?

Star-divide

A lot of people say it's Riley Reiff, who comes from a program (Iowa) that's not bad at churning out offensive linemen. Then there's Jonathan Martin out of Stanford.

And then there's Mike Adams. He's kind of all over the place in mock drafts -- as low as the late first round in some and as high as the top 12 in others. Sporting News' Russ Lande says a number of NFL scouts think Adams is a better prospect than Reiff.

It's still early in the process but what are you thinking about the second best offensive tackle in this draft? Reiff, Martin or Adams? That might be someone the Chiefs are keeping an eye on.

IMO Martin, Reiff and Kalil are equally good to great T

But the one that will be drafted will end up being the BEST one of them all.

I bet all three of those guys think they are better than the other two. So to be passed up and get drafted later only makes him play and work harder – playing with a chip on the shoulder

RAC City. I predict an AFC West crown in 2012. If Cassel is not the QB, Chiefs will go deep into the playoffs and possibly make some sizable upsets. It all depends how healthy the team gets but Superbowl aspirations for sure.

Kalil is head and shoulders better than the other two

the guy’s Top 5 pick at the least, and might go right after Luck (before RG3)

Get over it

We didn’t take him at #5, lets move on.

Also, just because he’s from Iowa and you didn’t want Bulaga, doesn’t mean he’s not a good lineman, also, Bulaga has proved to be pretty good, (never wanted him, glad we got Berry).

If you watch tape, you’ll see he is better than Bulaga, and actually really good, I’d put him #2 in this draft.

Mayock has him #1, but I think that is his version this year of Berry being #2 behind Thomas, him just trying to be different

Reiff followed by Adams

With Martin picking up the rear

In comparison to last year:
Kalil is the Tyron Smith with better pass blocking and lesser run blocking
Reiff is Nate Solder with better technique
Adams is Gabe Carimi with higher upside
Martin is Derek Sherrod

Which ever one falls to the 2nd round

we should draft as the RT. I’m all for drafting DeCastro at #11 and one of these guys in the 2nd.

Albert/DeCastro/Hudson/Asamoah/Martin, Reiff, Adams — That’s some beef; 3 and short? No problem.

by Mitul V. Patel on Jan 27, 2012 1:27 PM CST reply actions  

I don't think there's any way that any of them falls to the 2nd.

Reiff and Martin are pretty consistently put in the top 15 picks, and Adams is late 1st at worst.

Yeah, doubt they last

However, I agree, I’d rather go DeCastro too.

Maybe the Florida State OT, forget his name at the moment

However, I wouldn’t mind us trading back a few times and getting Cordy Glenn from Georgia, while picking up a couple picks, I think he’s going to be a stud, plus has versatility and could plug him into RT, if that becomes the bigger need after the offseason is all complete

by GracieKal on Jan 27, 2012 1:59 PM CST up reply actions  

I'd rather see us make a splash in FA with Carl Nicks.

BUT, if that doesn’t work out, I do like a Reiff/Glenn or DeCastro/Sanders combination.

The only problem with that is it means we’re starting two rookies on our o-line. That usually isn’t a very good situation, and I’d hope that we can avoid doing that.

From the link in the article, it appears that Mike Adams is a safety for Cleveland

He’s 5’11" and 200 lbs so I think he would get killed against DE’s. Still may be better than BRich though.

If they could predict the future, and the end of the world

surely they saw man-on-horse coming

Mike Adams

A shoulder injury sidelined him for part of the year, however, and a knee malady limited him to six games in his sophomore season. He was also suspended the first two games of the 2009 season for violating team rules, and was cited in January 2009 for misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia (charges were eventually dropped) after being stopped for running a stop sign.

NO THANKS

Sweet!

Maybe he’ll drop and we can get him in the 2nd

I hate predicting..because it never works like you think but..

Trade down a couple of spots..grab a extra 3rd. Pick Mike Adams in the first..then with the extra 3rd nab Senio Kelemete OG …he sets and learns a year just like Asamoah and Hudson did..I think Lilja has one year left on the contact…and the Cheifs are starting two rookies to start the year..

Romeo was talking with Kelemeto so..just a thought. But these never pan out..lol

How about fsu prospect Zebrie Sanders he is 6"7 325 been a starter for them since freshman year he played both left and right tackle nfldraftscout.com has him going in first or second round

He's good

just not our 1st pick good.

Guess we could trade down for him…

by Brad-KC on Jan 27, 2012 2:16 PM CST up reply actions  

He should still be around at our 2nd pick

Could be there in the 3rd, I hear he is dropping.

Not a lot of possible starting OTs in this class

Or rather OTs that could start sooner rather than later

Take Decastro

and have Mims and Sanders duke it out in camp for starting RT

Curiousity

To answer the question on Tackle, I would definitely like Sanders in the second, he seems to have a suitable size and has that experience with Hudson already, that just seems like it would be a good perk going into draft day.

My question is, looking around, I was trying to figure out how much it would cost the Chiefs if they were to make a QB move for someone other than Cassel and for reasons of the Chiefs seeming status quo of staying cheap, would it cost us much penalties if we were to release Cassel?

Levy Adcock

Take Decastro in the 1st, a NT in the 2nd, and get Adcock in the 3rd. He is still better than B-Rich.
