bluenews Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Could go as high as #7 to the Cleveland Browns. http://www.prodraftcentral.com/scouting-report-tyron-smith-usc/
Phlegm Alley Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I think of the last OT from USC that was flying up draft boards and that was Winston Justice. I remember the Bills were supposedly in play for him in the year he was drafted, but he fell to the 2nd round and has been a pretty large disappointment for the Eagles.
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 The Eagles can't be that disappointed with him, they signed him to a 5 year $21.3M contract extension before last season.
Orton's Arm Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 His biggest strengths seem to be his athleticism, his agility, and his pass blocking. But under the weaknesses section, your link stated he needs to get physically stronger. A description like that makes him sound an awful lot like our current LT. Of course, if he was a significantly improved version of Demetrius Bell, the Bills should at least consider trading down and taking him. I'm not saying this is their best available option--it's just one of several they should consider. On the other hand, you could make the argument that if Bell keeps improving, the Bills should not draft a LT at all.
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Smith played very little Left Tackle in college: Occasionally moved to left tackle during games, but all 24 of his career starts were at right tackle. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1631899
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 LT should not even be in consideration for this year's draft...IMO. Only if Carimi or Sherrod falls to #34 would I consider taking a tackle in the first 2 rounds. Cannon or Carpenter would be good picks in the 3rd.
John from Riverside Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I am really not into a OL in this draft unless it is guy that we can bring off the bench to start and can play both spots...... I am just not that thrilled with the OL in this draft....would much rather have a free agent here.... Free Agents at OT and TE
