Updated 2012 NFL Draft guard rankings

by Dan Kadar on Nov 20, 2011 11:00 AM EST in 2012 NFL Draft

It should come as no surprise that Stanford mauler David DeCastro has assumed the top spot among guards. He's been incredible this season. It wouldn't be a stretch to see him picked in the top 15 next year.

The talent after DeCastro is solid. The next three players could all be top 75 picks. Check out the guard rankings after the jump.

1. David DeCastro | 6'5, 312 pounds | G | Stanford *- Prospect notes

2. Cordy Glenn | 6'5, 348 pounds | OT/G | Georgia - Prospect notes

3. Brandon Washington | 6'4, 320 pounds | OT/G | Miami (Fla.) *- Prospect notes

4. Kevin Zeitler | 6'4, 315 pounds | G | Wisconsin

5. Lucas Nix | 6'5, 310 pounds | G | Pittsburgh

6. Jonathan Cooper | 6'3, 310 pounds | G | North Carolina *

7. Larry Warford | 6'3, 340 pound | G | Kentucky *

8. Joel Foreman | 6'4, 310 pounds | | G | Michigan State

9. Stephen Good | 6'6, 292 pounds | G | Oklahoma

10. Rokevious Watkins | 6'4, 325 pounds | G | South Carolina - Prospect notes

You have Cordy Glenn at 320 pounds?

I think he is listed almost everywhere else at close to 350.

Good catch. That was from their summer media guide.

Glenn will be picked before DeCastro. Book it.

After the combine at 350 lbs he’ll leapfrog anybody ahead of him. Perfect for a power running scheme, and surprisingly good at pass protection.

I support the Giants like bras support Kim Kardashian's boobs. It can be a struggle, we've had some jiggles, but we're still firm.

If Glenn gets picked above DeCastro, a team is making a huge mistake. It’s like trying choosing Bobby Williams, who is very good in his own right, over Randall McDaniel. It’s just a massive mistake.

I think David DeCastro is the best offensive lineman in this draft and if I were a team that needed talent on the offensive line, I would take him in the top 10. He is great at everything, he can fit in any scheme and I think he’ll be starting in the NFL for a long, long time. I’ll take a durable, all-pro guard who will start for at least a decade (ala Hutchinson) is more valuable than overrated tackled like Reiff and Martin.

Also, where are these guys:

Amini Silatolu and Brandon Brooks. I’ve never had the opportunity to watch either as they’re small school guys but they’re getting good reviews from everyone.

Odds that David Decastro slips to the Niners pick?
