Mosley/Fox Sports Southwest: Mosley's Stone Cold Draft Locks

[28 Joker]

4. Tyron Smith, OT, USC: Had a chance to visit with Smith's former college coach, Pete Carroll, for about 10 minutes last week. He believes that Smith will be able to start immediately in the league, probably at right tackle. Everyone seems to have the Cowboys taking Smith at No. 9, but don't be surprised if Jones moves off that pick. There's probably a better chance of the Cowboys moving up or down rather than staying at home with the No. 9 pick. One scout told me that Smith was the only "special" offensive tackle in the draft. And another marveled at the fact that Smith could play 12 years in the league and only be 32. There's not a single thing you can find wrong with him from a physical standpoint. As long as he can quickly grasp the mental aspects of the NFL game, then he's a "lock" to be a productive player for years to come.

Mosley compiled this list after talking to 3 AFC scouts and 1 NFC scout. Pouncy gets "honorable" mention.

Patrick Peterson fans will be interested in # 2 and what he has to say.

Alright, Jerry - don't screw this up. If ya can't trade up for Peterson, stay at 9 and pick Smith.

I'll be watching you . . .

if you want to know what the NFL guys are really thinking about a prospect, Goose has the best info hands down.

I don't think Peterson's a lock at all. I think he'll gain too much weight, be moved to safety and there his weaknesses will be exposed.

I see too much Roy Williams, Antrell Rolle in Peterson. I think he's a great prospect now but I just get the feeling he won't be a great player.

One thing that has never changed, the game is won in the trenches.
