Mock me twice


Round No. 2 of the mock drafts. The NFL Draft is a week away despite the fact that there might not actually be a season.

Don Banks
9. Tyron Smith
OT - USC
The popular, almost unanimous decision here. Banks points to the lack of free agency disallowing the Cowboys to address the offensive line. True. Or the fact that the Cowboys probably have to address the line, free agency or no. He has the Cowboys passing Prince Amukamara, Mark Ingram, Mike Pouncey and others.

Fox Sports
9. Tyron Smith

40. Aaron Williams
Cornerback - Texas

71. Jason Pinkston
OT - Pittsburgh
Williams is interesting. He's bigger (6-1, 192) and played for a big school against some of the best offenses in the nation. However, most mocks have him going in the first round. One of the best corners in the draft. No way he gets to No. 40. Plus, most scouting reports remark that he's a high-character guy, going to church and stuff. As for Pinkston, will the Cowboys go for two offensive linemen in their first three picks?

Walter Football
9. Tyron Smith

40. Ras-I Dowling
CB - Virginia
Don't know who he is. Seems, however, that the Cowboys will go secondary with their second pick and Smith with their first pick. Why even have a draft?
