Here is a draft tracker I did on Osemele in February:
Kelechi Osemele Tackle #72, Iowa. 6'5" 337lbs
The Ravens need help on the offensive line. Drafting a tackle to replace Bryant McKinnie would make sense if they saw someone they liked late in the first round. Nfl.com has the Ravens selecting Osemele in the first round in their latest mock draft.
nfl.com: With center Matt Birk and guard Ben Grubbs both free agents, the Ravens will be looking to bolster the interior of their offensive line. Osemele's massive 6-5, 350-pound frame, pure strength and tenacity should open holes for Baltimore's star running back Ray Rice.
Here is what NFL.com has to say about Osemele.
Osemele is a player who will need strong coaching and guidance once entering the NFL, but if he finds his way and becomes a consistent player, he stands to be a dominant lineman based off his production and film at Iowa State. He has great athletic ability and gets off the line very quickly. He understands, for the most part, blocking with angles and within a scheme, and has the natural upper strength to keep on his blocks once he gets to them. When using technique, Osemele is one of the more powerful and dominant blockers in the country. Very rarely do defenders release themselves from his blocks, and if he can learn to get to the block sooner at the NFL level, he can be a stalwart for years to come. His potential as a go-to run blocker for the next decade could find him selected as early as the first round.
I'm not sure that Baltimore would take a flier on someone that could go either way in the first round but if this guy goes to the right organization he could be nasty.
Here is some info. on Osemele from cyclones.com.
