My First two Picks...pleasssssssse...

1. Tyron Smith, USC, 6-5, 310, 1
Back in 2006, scouts were enamored with a workout warrior offensive tackle coming out of USC -- Winston Justice. That year, Justice was bigger and faster than his peers, and while short on bulk, he was long on potential with the athletic upside to be mentioned as a top-10 pick. He was Matt Leinart's blind-side protector at right tackle, and he fell in the draft mostly because of character issues to the 39th overall pick and became a starter for the Eagles. Smith is also the top athlete in his class. While he has no such character concerns, he isn't a sure thing. A top-shelf athlete, some have projected him as a top-10 pick based largely on that rare athletic potential, but Smith has never played left tackle. He played most of his college career at or just below 283 pounds, but has put on close to 30 pounds. A knee injury kept Smith out of combine workouts, but he had a strong workout in front of representatives from every NFL team on March 30.


2. Stefen Wisniewski, Penn State, 6-3, 313, 2
There are expectations, and then there's the Wisniewski family tree. No pressure, kid. Stefen is the nephew of Raiders O-line coach Steve Wisniewski, former Penn State All-American and Raiders All-Pro guard who was known for his demeanor and habit of ... not hearing the whistle. "He taught me a lot about what it takes to be a pro football player," Stefen Wisniewski said. "... he was known for finishing blocks and being a nasty guy and that's what I always try to." Music to Al Davis' ears. Offensive line coaches will tout Wisniewski in pre-draft meetings and not just for his bloodlines -- his father, Leo, also played on the Nittany Lions' line. Stefen Wisniewski is NFL-ready with intelligence, strength, durability and the prototype makeup to start immediately.

I would add Moffit in the 3rd too and would still be happen even though we only took OL in the first three rounds.

By 2012, we could have Free, Moffit, Wisniewski, Gurode, Smith as are starting OL.

Do that and sign Huff to play safety.

I'd prefer Rackley over Moffitt in the 3rd, I wouldn't be unhappy at all with the first three picks being offensive line... as long as the 4th pick was Kenrick Ellis!

Not a good player to be compared too. Winston Justice should be a draft situation to learn from if anything.

I really like these selections. I would like Jerry to trade down to pick a RT.
