MERGED: Kelechi Osemele

[PDO]

He's our pick per Jason La Confora on twitter...

[Alexir]

And CBS compares him to Michael Oher. Great.

[latenighthero]

Don't like this one. Wouldn't Randle have been the PERFECT WR that we've been looking for since Cam Cameron took over as our QB. "Tall throwing to Tall"....

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

G from Iowa State.

He's big, he's played 4 years.

Thoughts?

[DieHardBMoreFan]

dont know much about him, i think the squeeler's pick just before us kinda changed things

[redrum52]

All I've heard ie he's strong, athletic and has long arms. They said he was initially a late first round pick. Some say he can be plugged in to start right away.

And the Steelers picking Adams makes me happy. Suggs and Upshaw are laughing at the Steelers tackles right now.

[Moderator 3]

Mayock likes him a lot. May be Grubbs' replacement.

[Ravenslifer]

Very good pickup - could be a right tackle, most likely a guard though. It allows us to leave Jah Reid at right tackle - now all we're missing is a left tackle and center of the future.

Walter Football's scouting report is more complementary, comparing him to Jeff Otah. He's a good pick. I just hope these two players we grabbed can produce right away. Reed, Lewis, and Birk will not be around after this season. While Birk retiring would be beneficial, our window is closing.

Yeah I just pasted Walter Football's. It's alot more complementary. I am excited. MLB next?

Osemele is an animal. He is huge and vicious. Inside runs won't be the same anymore.

If Mayock likes him I like him. He's one or he best at evaluating talent.

All the players I really wanted went right before him, I would of loved randle though but maybe we look at WR in 3rd round in a joe adams or such.. The first video I watched of Osemele was brutal..

hard to watch the first few plays

he will be playing guard though. i don't weigh tackle tape to predict how he'll be as a G. should be a lot better there.

[Reed_Fence_20]

How could we pass up Randle

i still like Marvin Jones and Greg Childs but considering how far randle fell, it was kinda disappointing. must not have been ranked as high on the ravens boards as the experts board. at least we aern't making mistakes like a Punter, a 7th round WR, etc like teams i've been watching. and can't forget reaching for bruce irvin 2 rounds higher than expected for a situational player. just makes me appreciate our FO just that much more.

I know what you mean, but he probably wouldn't have even sniffed the starting line-up. This guy can come in and challenge for a starting spot.

[20ravens52]

Great pick, could definitely be an immediate starter at G. Punishing run blocker, and a good athlete for his size with ability to improve his pass protection.

[truthistold2u]

I like that Ravens could still have a 700 pound left side but was thinking Randle for that pick.

[Reed_Fence_20]

At least Joe Adams might fall to us

[RavensWin09]

certainly wasn't good as a T, hopefully will be a stud G. ozzie will talk about his abilities later to get me a little familiar with this guy.

[Free Agent]

Kinda bummed we passed on Randle, but we needed a guard, and I think Osemele will be a very good one.

He had to report in shape to get a bonus just a little while ago. He's probably still fine and being watched

[Reed_Fence_20]

maybe trade up for Joe Adams? Anyone agree?

that was weeks ago . : P a guy that size can put on 15 lbs in a week..

[Andrew Glass]

Joe adams should be there

[Gordo52]

Hey IDC what anyone says, hell of an Improvement to our OL. Whether that be LG or LT, I rather have him playing LG then Reid
