To me, it looks like he can really move for such a big kid...looked like a natural in the combine drills in particular. I see a high upside with him. Poor work ethic. Same complaint I have with Osemele. But poor work ethic in the 1st round is worst than in the 2nd round.

Can still see Ohio State left tackle Mike Adams sliding into the early-mid portion of round two. Not consistent & needs to get stronger. If the Steelers were able to get Adams in rd 2 that would be a "Grand larceny type selection"  Change that to Rnd 3 and you might be right...

I don't view Adams as any better prospect than Marcus Gilbert and he was plucked late R2

I think Massie is the guy.
Get him on a good strength and conditioning program and he'll be the bee's knees. Yes, he got slapped against Bama, but he looked damn good against LSU

They're all in with Gilbert at LT so it seems. He's young, he's locked up. Don't really see the need to draft starter caliber LT early on. I won't be upset if they draft a 2nd RD OT due to the obvious importance of the position.

I am all in favor of taking a guy like Massie in r2 or Sanders in r3. These are high ceiling guys that you hope will pan out at LT if Gilbert struggles or is injured. Otherwise, you just hope they are good enough to be a swing tackle for a few years ala Essex early in his career. Then you move on.

Could play LT or LG.
