Ravens Select Iowa State OT Kelechi Osemele (Rd.2, No.60)
With the 60th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Ravens select Kelechi Osemele, OT (Iowa State). Large-bodied college left tackle better off on the right side or moved to guard. Solid pass protector, makes good use of blocking angles and correctly places his hands into opponents. Stays square and uses effective body positioning to seal opponents from the play. Keeps his feet...

NFL Draft Profile: Kelechi Osemele
Almost to be the first player out of Iowa State drafted in the top 2 rounds in over 20 years (Keith Simms, 37th overall, 1990) and quite possibly the highest since the 70s, Kelechi Osemele has good reason to stand out. A big (6'6" 333lbs) powerful lineman, Osemele started 43 games in college with the final 38 all at left tackle. He's expected to move inside, but his...

2012 NFL draft: Kelechi Osemele G Iowa State
Offensive guard, Kelechi Osemele is rated highly by many NFL scouts after starting 43 consecutive games at Iowa State and playing in 49 of the Cyclone's games.
Osemele could be one of the best pass-blockers in the 2012 NFL draft when you watch his feet and position. His 84-inch wingspan doesn't hurt, but his patience is what makes him one of the top guards in the country.
