I was wrong on Glenn / combine updates

I thought he was more of the same of the recent Steeler type guard that doesn't get it done mentally or athletically. At his size, however, his athleticism is amazing. Not only could he fill the void at LG, he may even be left tackle capable when you look at his footwork. Right now, I'm thinking NT Poe or OG Glenn at 1-24, whereas before I thought that, since Decastro would be long gone, there would be no OG worthy of taking at 1-24. Glenn is a monster, and he would add much flexibility to the OL, while clearly athletic enough to play LG and, perhaps, powerful enough to handle the likes of Ngata and Cody when we play the Ravens.

Other draft thoughts:

At WR, Stephen Hill ran a 4.3 forty and was incredibly smooth in the gauntlet, at 6-4 215 lbs. Al Davis will probably find a way to overdraft him, but now, added onto Blackmon and Floyd, at least 3 WRs will be drafted before the Steelers pick, which is a good thing. Hopefully, even more WRs will be taken early.

David Decastro - This is the best LG prospect in a while. His technique is flawless. Mayock commmented that there 'is a reason why the coaches at the combine used him as the standard to show players how to do each drill', so to speak.

Sleeper Guard - Anyone get the name of the small school and/or sleeper OG that Mayock commented about his butt and lower body being huge!?!? I had it and forgot. I'll try to remember or find the name. Dude looks lke a great RG prospect, who can possibly be had in the 5th or later. I'll get the name again...

Can't wait - To see NT Poe work out. I'm starting to think that Glenn and Poe will be the two BPAs at 1-24. Unless the top ILB prospect (Kuechly) falls to 1-24, I don't know that the Steelers go that route.

Ryan Kalil - Oh boy, this guy is incredibly smooth. In the scenario that Colbert rubbed a magic lamp and a genie popped out, and if QB Luck, LT Kalil, and LG Decastro were not the 3 wishes, Kevin would need a mercy killing.

RLON, If Al Davis does drft him, even in round 7 it will be a first, that would make headlines even more so then taking him with the very first pick in the 2012 draft.

Al Davis' spirit will communicate to the organization to draft a 6'4" receiver who looks better in the combine than he does in actual games. Don't underestimate his ongoing influence...

Wyckedfoot may not be so useless after all. I never see him talking about Bob and he does contribute football talk on here. I think I am going to call a truce with wyckedfoot.
