Palgani inspired me to spend even more time watching some tackles...
A couple of things.
1) I like Anton Harrison much more than I thought I did. I didn't watch him near enough during the season. He's not nasty and he's not powerful but he's really good at doing the one thing KC needs most. He reminds me quite a bit of Eric Fisher really.
2) I really, really like Luke Haggard from Indiana. He's getting zero buzz even as a day 2 guy but I think he should be. I don't know how he projects to RT but I'd like him even more on that side. That said, he looked really solid at LT. He's much like Matt Bergeron to me. Not as athletic as a guy like Harrison but doesn't make a huge number of mistakes. He's not off balance often and he gets out to his guy most often. He rarely played with any help in Indiana's offense. Haggard improved steadily throughout his career too, so I like that he might get even better. According to NFL Draft Buzz, he gave up 10 QB hurries, 8 QB hits, and 3 sacks. I think that's pretty solid living on an island against a talented Big 10 slate. If he can play RT, I think I'd take him in the 2nd round.
3) When I watched Haggard, I also watched them play Illinois and came away thinking that Illinois RT Alex Palczewski is probably going to make a solid OG in the NFL. He should have some positional flexibility and played both sides of the line. I don't know if he'll be a starter but I wouldn't rule it out.
4) I thought Connor Galvin from Baylor was okay but I don't know if he'll hold up in the NFL at tackle and he might be too tall to play guard. He's an interesting prospect. There were times when he looked like a poor man's Blake Freeland and other times he just... wasn't. If he can swing over to RT, I think he could be at least a swing guy and developmental prospect. He's not a guy I think I'd take before day 3.
