He was a damn good LT at Alabama two years ago.

Where is this Castillo likeS KO at left tackle coming from, I haven't seen or read it except on forums. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Brian Baldinger is connected to Castillo and mentioned in a radio interview with WNST that Juan had mentioned KO as an option at LT if McKinnie was not retained. Here are some links. In the 2nd link go to 8:50 to hear Baldinger discuss it:

Mike Mayock is now saying that 6 OTs could be picked in round 1 with Watson and Pugh getting picked at the botom of the round and Flucker a little higher than that. To me that says two things: 1) we could take one of those guys if we are interested but 2) with 6 OTs being picked other players will drop to us that we are more interested in.
Any thoughts on Armstead with our natural 2nd?
At one time I liked Brennan Williams a lot, but he's strictly RT. Not sure I want us penciled into that.
LT developmental guys that intrigue me...
Chris Faulk
Quessenberry
Marquardt
Rogers Gaines
Aboushi
Bakhtiari
Xavier Nixon?
Terron Armstead is the guy I'd like most if we're not talking 1st round, but as said above, he's not likely to fall all the way down to our natural 2nd rounder. Just get a feeling someone else will overvalue him.
Yep in round 2 you'd look at Armstead or Bakhtiari with Bakhtiari being more ready but both would be developmental. And both could be gone by the time we pick. Honestly I would put Watson and Pugh here too but it sounds like they are going possibly in round 1.
Dallas Thomas is a mid-round guy I like a lot that hasn't been mentioned in this thread. Nice pass protection pedigree at Tennessee and has the ability to play guard as well (started at LG every game his senior year).
I fear there's not going to be much value at the position in this year's draft, however. There aren't 6 1st-round talent tackles this year, and it's entirely possible 6 get taken. That'll dilute the value of a tackle with later picks, most likely.
