The senior crop of offensive tackles for the 2012 NFL Draft is a lacking one. Each of the top three seniors – Mike Adams, Matt Reynolds and Nate Potter – may be right side candidates at the next level. Florida State's Andrew Datko may in fact end up at the top of this list, so long as he can stay healthy.

Two players are also noticeably missing from the tackle rankings. That would be Iowa State’s Kelechi Osemele and Georgia’s Kordy Glenn. Both project to guard in the NFL.

The real stars of the offensive tackle group are juniors. Jonathan Martin of Stanford and Matt Kalill of USC both have the look of being top 10 talents. Of course, they'd have to come out here.

1. Mike Adams | 6'8, 300 pounds | OT | Ohio State
2. Matt Reynolds | 6'6, 322 pounds | OT | BYU
3. Nate Potter | 6'6, 295 pounds | OT | Boise State
4. Andrew Datko | 6'6, 305 pounds | OT | Florida State
5. Levy Adcock | 6'5, 318 pounds | OT | Oklahoma State
6. Blake DeChristoper | 6'5, 305 pounds | OT | Virginia Tech
7. Al Netter | 6'6, 300 pounds | OT | Northwestern
8. Jermarcus Hardrick | 6'7, 320 pounds | OT | Nebraska
9. Elvis Fisher | 6'5, 295 pounds | OT | Missouri
10. Matt McCants | 6'7, 295 pounds | OT | UAB
11. Mike Ryan | 6'5, 333 pounds | OT | Connecticut
12. Tony Bergstrom | 6'6, 315 pounds | OT | Utah
13. Donald Stephenson | 6'5, 303 pounds | OT | Oklahoma
14. Brandon Mosley | 6'5, 305 pounds | OT | Auburn
15. Bradley Sowell | 6'7, 315 pounds | OT | Mississippi
