Thread: Bears sign OG Chilo Rachal

This is the O lines version of Max Komar

Who?

exactly

Here's what Lindy's Pro Football 2011 said about him: "Was inconsistent in 2010. Has the physical skills to excel, but has not mastered mental game."

He was the 49'er 2nd round pick in 2008. I remember that the guy was pretty highly rated coming out of USC. Maybe some of that was because it was USC long considered an NFL factory for Olineman. His pro career has never matched up to his draft rank.

He's got good size and he may be able to compete for a spot bu if nothing else he's inexpensive depth and to me just one more indication that we won't be stocking up on Olineman early in the draft. I wonder if he can play any OT?

2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Chilo Rachal, OL, USC

Chilo Rachal is a huge offensive guard prospect. He was voted to the all Pac 10 team by the conferences coaches. Rachal is a good player, but not a dominant player and for a guard to go on the first day of the draft, he has to be dominant. There are also concerns about injuries, as he missed three games in 2007 with a knee injury, but those are more likely to get worse than better if he returns to school. Leaving now is the right move for Rachal because his mother has a stomach tumor. His decision to leave is so that he can support his family. He is a good run blocking guard, but struggles against quicker defensive lineman. Rachal would not likely improve his draft stock by staying in school and with his mother's illness, it seems like a logical decision. He has played a big part in one of the most potent offenses in college football in 2007. Rachal has shot up draft boards since declaring for the draft. He is another prospect in a long line of Southern California lineman making the transition to the NFL. Rachal has been climbing up draft boards due to his size and versatility. He will likely be a second round prospect and the second guard taken. He seems to be a great fit for a team like the Steelers and Eagles. Rachal will likely be able to play early after facing elite talent at Southern Cal.

Strengths

Positives: Prototype size for the position. ... Well-built athlete with well proportioned frame. ... Good explosive use of his hands to pop the defender and generate a surge as a drive blocker. ... Plays with good leverage. ... Has the leg drive and flashes the nastiness to drive defenders yards off the ball. ... Despite only marginal quickness, can stalk and hit the moving target at the second level. Negatives: Marginal overall quickness. ... Late off the snap and has only marginal lateral quickness to pull or to get to the second level. ... Due to lack to prototype quickness, will resort to cut blocks, and when he does so he is only marginally effective. ... A bit of a waist-bender who leans into the defensive tackle in pass protection, limiting his balance. ... Missed three games in 2007 with sprained right knee, continuing a trend. ... He missed action in 2004, 2005 and 2007 due to injury (seven games total).

Draft 2008

Pick No.39



Selected By: San Francisco 49ers
Round: 2

Pick (Overall): 8 (39)


Pick Analysis: A highly decorated offensive tackle coming out of high school, Chilo Rachal would be the first to tell you that 21 games as a starter in three years at Southern California is not much of a resume for professional teams to evaluate.

Family issues forced the junior to enter the 2008 NFL Draft, despite urging from the USC coaching staff to return for one more season. Rachal's mother was diagnosed with a stomach tumor and is still awaiting insurance approval for treatment, necessitating Rachal's decision to jump to the NFL.

Head coach Pete Carroll said Rachal informed him that he would make himself available for the NFL draft. Carroll was disappointed he did not consult him before making his decision. Rachal did not apply for a pre-draft evaluation, knowing he was planning to turn pro regardless of their evaluation.

At Dominguez High School, Rachal earned 2003 Super Prep and Prep Star All-American honors. He was a member of the Prep Star Top 100 Dream Team, Lemming Top 100, Super Prep All-Farwest, Prep Star All-West, Long Beach Press-Telegram Best in the West honor-able mention, Tacoma News Tribune Western 100, Orange County Register Fab 15 second- team and All-CIF Southern Section first-team squads.

The All-CIF Division III, Los Angeles Times All-Southeast/South Coast Lineman of the Year added Long Beach Press-Telegram Dream Team first-team and All-Conference honors as a senior offensive lineman, despite playing in only four games due to a knee injury. He was rated the 12th-best offensive tackle in the country, ranked 12th overall on the Super West 60 and 11th on the California Top 100 lists by Rivals.com.

Rachal enrolled at Southern California in 2004, spurning scholarship offers from Arizona State, California, Michigan, San Jose State, UCLA and Washington. He competed as an offensive guard and tackle, but underwent left knee arthroscopic surgery in mid-September that kept him away from practices until October.

In 2005, Rachal appeared in all 13 games as a reserve offensive guard. He saw most of his action on special teams with the field goal/placement units. He earned Sophomore All-American and All-Pac-10 Conference second-team honors in 2006, starting every game, except vs. Washington, at right offensive guard. He was part of a young line that paved the way for an offense that generated 391.8 yards and 30.5 points per game.

As a junior, Rachal picked up All-American and All-Pac-10 Conference first-team honors despite missing three games after he suffered right knee ligament damage in the Washington game. He posted 80 knockdowns when healthy, leading the way for an improved rushing attack that averaged 197.2 yards per game, compared to 128.0 yards the previous season.

Talking about his son's decision to forgo his final season at Southern California, Charles Rachal said he thought family medical issues influenced his son's decision. "I think it played a considerable role because he loves his mama," he said. Charles Rachal said he did not expect his son to change his mind. "He's right around the corner from his degree," he said.
