And adding to the Reynolds thing, I really think that some people doing internet mocks have never seen most of these guys play. Here is some quotes on Reynolds from fftoolbox draft grades:

Reynolds is a touch undersized and will need to add some weight

Reynolds would be best-suited in a zone-blocking scheme where he's not required to drive block since he lacks the lower body strength to really knock guys off the line. He also doesn't have that nasty streak coaches like to see.

Undersized? The guy is huge, with a big, thick base. He's damn near prototype size for an NFL right tackle. Tell me if this looks undersized:
The guy is seven times bigger than anyone else on the field.
And he's always been a guy who absolutely plays through the whistle looking to put his guy on the ground. Plays mean and always finishes the play.
(And even after dropping weight, and in the final game of the season, he still looks completely undersized, right?)
I doubt most people doing mocks have even watched a team west of the Mississippi play, let alone do a serious evaluation of a specific player.
No, Reynolds is a very good player and I seriously doubt he sees the end of the second round. You never know, but as I stated, I think he's got all the tools to be a Day 1 starter at the next level at RT and play there for a long time.
