I'd be shocked if Smoot got drafted after Bolles, and I am not particularly high on Smoot. All you mockers better start mocking Jake Butt from the 2nd on. Jerry loves the bargain bin.
I see Smoot going mid 2nd round at this point. Someone will take a chance on his athleticism and size. Even if he didn't have the best senior year.

I'm an ND homer, and I'm not high on McGlinchey. He had a very poor season this year, and IMO can only play RT in the NFL. Yes, that works for the Cowboys, but he provides no other positional flexibility.
Hmmm. This years class is very poor then out side of Cam Robinson and even then Cam Robinson will be taken earlier then he should due to the need of OT's in the NFL. Their are a late round OTs that have position flex but will need a season or 2 at the least to develop strength. One is Storm Norton out of Toledo who i like as a Swing Tackle.

What's it going to be then, eh?

Bolles has some character red flags, but the overall tackle class is so weak, he might go earlier in the first.

This guy is a very good athlete. Let people get a better look at him. If you needed a LT would you rather of him, Flowers or Stanley? Could go top 15.

It does not matter. Terence Newman was 25 when drafted and some people complained about. He is still playing at age 38 long after some younger players that were drafted.

Good recall. You are exactly right. Now that you mentioned it, I remember Cowboys fans bellyaching because T Newman was older than your average rookie.

Bolles could be real good, but I don't think we'll use our 1st round pick whenever we already have so many potential options for RT (Free, Green, Collins, Martin)
