Been looking at prospects. This guy jumps out at me.

http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=89450&draftyear=2012&genpos=OT

Don't know if he'll last past Steelers in 2nd round.

Mitchell Schwartz would be next, followed by Zebrie Sanders, James Brown and Brandon Mosley, all RT canditates.

*Bobby Massie, Mississippi, 6-6, 316, 2-3
This powerful right tackle was once considered a lock to go to Alabama and replace All-American tackle Andre Smith. That would have been appropriate because they were both in bad shape at the time, as Smith memorialized in the 2009 scouting combine when he jiggled his shirtless, flabby, 332-pound body through a 40-yard dash in 5.28 seconds. Massie, who weighed 335 pounds at the time, decided to go in another direction. He chose Mississippi, lost 20 pounds, started as a freshman and helped the Rebels rank second in the SEC and 14th in the nation with fewest sacks allowed (17). That same season, Massie was a key blocker when Dexter McCluster set the school record with 282 yards rushing against Tennessee. Last season, despite playing on a 2-10 team that ranked 114th in the nation in total offense (281.25 ypg), Massie was credited with the key block in all 12 of the team's touchdown runs. According to statistics by The Draft Report, Massie had 102 knockdown blocks last year, tops among tackles in the tough SEC. In his final 29 games Massie blocked for 14 different individual 100-yard rushing games, including two over 200.

Mitchell Schwartz, California, 6-5, 318, 2-3
Mitchell has NFL bloodlines. His brother, Geoff, was the Panthers' seventh-round pick out of Oregon in 2008, started in 2010 but was injured last year, and recently signed with the Vikings. Mitchell was a model of consistency at Cal, starting 51 games, 35 at left tackle and 16 at right tackle. He credits diverse blocking schemes at Cal for upgrading his overall play. And that play was impressive at the Senior Bowl workouts, where scouts raved about the way he handled some of the best pass rushers in the country. That was surprising because most scouts believed he projected as a right tackle for the NFL.

He'd be a great pick at 80. It's probably stretching it, but I hope he's there. You never know though.

WildBB, who do have us taking in the 1st? Massie is about the 5th rated OT, so I'd be delighted with him at 80, though I doubt he'd be there.

I am interested in both, though Massie has been talked about as a "All Pro in shorts." Looks the part, but doesn't translate on the field. Not a bad guy to take a risk on in the 3rd rnd depending on who is available.

Schwartz is also intriguing.

Personally, I don't see them falling. This draft looks like the draft where OTs get overdrafted in regards to their college tape. There is a huge gap between Kalil and Martin/Adams/Reiff and I believe it will push the next crop of OTs like Massie/Schwartz into the late 1st, or early to mid 2nd rounds.

If we stay at 13, my targets are F. Cox - DE, DeCastro - C/G , Floyd - WR, Ingram - OLB, Keuchly - ILB and Reiff - RT.

DeCastro, Floyd and Ingram would be top 3.

All would be good choices and make an immediate impact, imo. At least 1 of the five should be there. If not Mark Barron the S from the Tide.


If we trade down in the 1st my targets would be: Brockers - DE, Gilmore - CB, Glenn - OT, Mercilus - OLB, Wright - WR, Upshaw - I/OLB.

Out of those I'd prefer Mercilus #1 IF we traded out of 13.

I'd like to snag Potter in the 3rd, as I think he would do well in our passing system.

I like Potter's potential, but he is so weak, Justin Smith would probably knock him back into the QB at initial contact. He is actually pretty similar to Riley Reiff in my opinion in regards to his strengths and weaknesses.

Good choices. Lots of talent in the 3rd. Thats the gravy round this year where we find the Darnell Docketts and Sam Achos of the league. Gems if you do your homework.

I think we should find a team who has multiple 3rd rounders and offer them our 5th,6th and 7th picks for one of their 3rds. theres so many options I dont want to have to choose.

doesnt Smith play on the other side? LT (Levi)

? Im sure thats wrong. Aldon typically is on that side. Ive always seen Justin on the LT.



again


and heres Aldon on the RT



maybe they switch off, but 90% of the time Justin is on the LT and Aldon on the RT.

Depends who falls thru the cracks to #80 - It's a long way between #13 and #80 so you never know.

It could either be a surprise BPA who's sticking out like a sore thumb.

Or the best player at a position of need (conceivably someone like Massey or I'm hoping James Brown).

Yeah if we don't pick up an OT in the 1st, we're pretty much forced to go for one here. And he could turn out OK.

There will be some very good WR, CB/S and OLB opportunities available here though.
