Re: Three Round Mock Draft
Tyron I think weighs in at about 285lbs. That just seems like its a little light for OT for me.
He looks like a TE rather than OT. I think Tyron will be a far better fit with team like Colts or Cheatroits.
...or maybe he is the next Larry Brown? To me he would seem to have to get a year in weight room to add weight and strength. But if we have Colon, Starks and Adams all coming back next year that could be a plan that might work.
It would seem however that there is no way he plays for a year at OG at that weight.
The more I read the more I'm really becoming intriqued about Marcus Cannon. He is 6'6" and like 340lbs. Real powerful man. I see where he is listed as a Guard but some Scouts think he may have RT potential. Sounds like another Flozell.
SKL--do you have any thoughts???????
I have Cannon as a second round guard. Good power in the run game, sloppy pass pro technique, struggles with speed rush.

I heard Phil Taylor, NT is destroying people in the Senior Bowl practice.
Also on few draft sites they are mentioning Steelers are very much interested in Tyron Smith, USC. I am not sure if this is because of Lane kiffin/Monte Kiffin connection. Steelers have drafted few O-linemen from Tennessee.
Mayock and McShaw had Sherrod tied as No.5 OT. They have Nate Solder, Anthony, Gabe and Tyron smith rated higher than Derek Sherrod.

From ESPN Blog
"Mississippi State offensive tackle Derek Sherrod, who's considered a first-round prospect by some, struggled with lateral agility and keeping a consistent pad level, according to McShay. Arizona's Brooks Reed twice beat Sherrod with quickness, once to the outside and another time with a double move, exploiting what the Scouts Inc. team described as a lack of mobility and tightness in hips."
