WOW. this guy is a beast! Love his attitude and his motor. Hope the vikings draft him if they trade their 3rd overall pick with the Redskins. otherwise I would like to see the pick morris Claiborne but I think the vikes will trade their pick.
Kalil is 5 lbs lighter and I'm sure he'll show up to the combine at at least 310. Reiff's feet seem to be in cement at times, and is not a guarantee to play LT. I'd put him at number three behind Kalil and Martin.
Reiff is a 3 time HS HWT champ..He's very strong and rangy...Probably plays against stronger defensive linemen than the others do.
Kalil is much lighter than Reiff, but he'll gain weight in the NFL and fill out. As for a pro trainer, Reiff already has one of the top 2-3 strength coaches in the country at Iowa to work with.
I believe Mike Adams is the second best offensive linemen in the class behind Kalil. I would then give the nod to Reiff and then Stanford's Jonathan Martin.
Carimi is a long torso type guy whose game is much more suited to playing guard...which is where he'll eventually end up. There's a reason why he's not at LT in Chicago
Wagner is nowhere near as physical as Reiff..Neither was Carimi who was highly rated in the past year.
Reiff was a soph in 2010...He'll be pretty stout again this year as a JR and performed awfully well against guys like Jerel Worthy (pancaked him a couple of times) and Cameron Heyward of OSU.
He is probably not the 3rd best OT... If not the best i'd say he is second to Kalil only because Kalil is a crazy athlete. Many of the Negative plays can be explained and some of them werent even negatives. I am an Offensive lineman so i have a bit of credibility. This kid is incredible
@eddiemeredith77 Just comparing the two vids of Kalil and Riley, I like Riley better. You are right that Kalil is more athletic than Riley, definitely stronger, and has better technique. But Riley has more attitude and is never gives up on a play. I love that in an OT. Once he gets that first guy blocked he wants a second guy. I didn't see that with Kalil. That could be a work ethic issue. Plus Kalil looked lost when he messed up. Give Riley pro trainers and he will be beast in the NFL.

@epstud74 Carimi wasn't physical? He was a dominant run blocker, I haven't watched much of Iowa but I just thought that comment was silly.

@eddiemeredith77 I went a bit on progression putting Wagner ahead of Reiff even though he hasn't played LT yet. Wagner was tremendous this past year.
