PFT: Tyron Smith-to-Cowboys chatter continues to pick up
Tyron Smith-to-Cowboys chatter continues to pick up
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on April 11, 2011, 5:39 PM EDT
When I read MMQB this morning, I considered doing a post on Peter King’s report that the Cowboys “do love” USC tackle Tyron Smith and that they are “seriously considering” taking him ninth overall.
King wasn’t the first to make the Smith-Cowboys connection. FOXSportsSouthwest.com mentioned it a few weeks back, and SI.com’s Tony Pauline said Smith was basically atop the Cowboys’ board.
We held off on posting King’s note for a little while because he was responsible for half the content on PFT this morning and we started to feel guilty about it. But now Gil Brandt of NFL.com gave us another reason to write about the topic.
Brandt wrote the Cowboys would “probably” take Smith if they are just looking for the best player at No. 9 overall, with defensive end J.J. Watt another possibility. Brandt doesn’t think the team will look for a defensive back.
Sometimes a certain team and player combination just gains momentum through the draft process. At this point, it would be a mild surprise if Smith wasn’t Dallas’ pick.
