Baltimore Ravens draft Iowa State tackle Kelechi Osemele (with coach quotes)

The Baltimore Ravens selected Iowa State tackle Kelechi Osemele with the 60th pick in the second round, helping Osemele become the highest-drafted Cyclone in 22 years Friday night.

Osemele, who stands 6 feet, 5 1/3 inches and weighs 333 pounds, joins a team that needs depth along the offensive line. The Ravens start 11-year veteran Bryant McKinnie at one tackle and Michael Oher at the other. The Ravens lost guard Ben Grubbs in free agency this year. Former Iowa tackle Marshal Yanda made the Pro Bowl last year as a guard.

Baltimore Ravens Coach John Harbaugh said Osemele could play either left guard or right tackle for the Ravens this year.

"I think you just let those guys compete and see also who meshes better where, with Jah Reid in the mix and Michael Oher being in the mix and Bryant McKinnie being in the mix," Harbaugh said. "You know what? It's just gives us some competition, and we like that."

Osemele played left tackle at Iowa State but could play up to four offensive line positions.

"I'm guessing he's the kind of player that (Ravens Coach) John Harbaugh loves," NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said. "He's a phone-booth offensive guard. I don't think he can live on the outside. He's a left tackle at Iowa State, but he doesn't have left tackle feet.

"He's tough, he can play right tackle or he can play inside.

"This kid, I believe, has the ability to start instantly at either right tackle or inside."

Osemele started 44 consecutive games for Iowa State and earned first-team all-Big 12 honors from both the coaches and media after last season. Sports Illustrated tabbed him as a first-team All-American last year.

Iowa State's most recent second-round pick was guard Keith Sims, who was chosen 39th overall in the second round by Miami of the 1990 draft.

The last Cyclone drafted before Osemele was guard Reggie Stephens, who was tabbed in the seventh round by Cincinnati in the 2009 draft.
