[FONT=Tahoma]CN[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]: Where is the value at the 9-10 spot, Cameron Jordan aside? Defensive end, cornerback, offensive tackle?

WB: Maybe Tyron Smith. Maybe Derrick Sherrod. They're the maybes there, especially Sherrod. The elite, the blue-chippers, those are the guys you want to invest in if you get that high. They give you the best bang for the buck.[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma]CN[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]: I've been asked for more detail on Smith. A couple of readers have pointed out that you have him rated higher than other draft sites and wonder why you're so optimistic?

WB: With a guy like Smith, an underclassmen who's a bit undersized because he's 20, I imagine people have just not had a chance to see him that much. Compared to senior offensive tackles, it's like night and day. He's not giving guys a peek at his quarterback. From an athletic standpoint, he's just better. He's really fluid. I'm getting the coaches tape of Smith vs. [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]Cam[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]Jordan[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma], when USC played [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]Cal[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma] and I'm really looking forward to that.[/FONT]

They have Smith at 291. Which is a whole lot different from the 280 I have seen elsewhere. I agree that at his young age despite being lean he can possibly add 20. Now 311 is a realistic weight for a LT. Barely 300 is very light for an NFL LT.

I think drafting a 20 year old LT with his kind of upside would be a pretty darn brilliant on our part, as long as he checks out work ethic wise.

But to be honest, it doesn't sound like the type of thing we'd do.

Trade up to number 3 to get Fairley

[burmafrd]

If Fairley can give us Seymour type play then he is definitly worth it.

Seems like a lot of people arent having a tough time finding OL to get into

They don't even have Derek Sherrod rated. He played two of his very best games against Auburn and Alabama.

Wow.

I will be watching Tyron Smith, too.

Do they have something against Mississippi State?

I bet if Sherrod was at Michigan or Ohio State that he'd be in that top 20. This guy is extremely athletic, and I can't believe that he's not in their top 32. That is ridiculous.

I don't think Dallas needs to draft a CB in round 1, but I like Janoris Jenkins better than Prince Amukamara. Jenkins is fast, and you can't teach speed.

If Marcel Dareus plays RDE for Alabama; he got completely stoned by Sherrod. Who ever was over there, was blocked easily by Sherrod. I think it was 57. Can someone confirm this? Wasn't that Dareus, because I thought it was him.

There is Pouncy at 18.

[28 Joker]

Sherrod was on mid-season All-American teams. They played Auburn and LSU early. He was SEC offensive linemen of the week against Georgia, and I think that he won that award 4 times.

Demarcus Love, from Arkansas, has a shot to go in round 1.

Where is the respect for the two SEC offensive tackles?

Sherrod may need to use his power a little better and develop it more, but you can't teach his athletic ability.
