KIper released his Top 21 prospects for next year's draft. Today, they had a roundtable discussion among a group of writers/broadcasters. First question and response...
Which player not on this list do you think is a surefire first-rounder?
Alex Scarborough: When I close my eyes and picture a Pro Bowl offensive lineman, I see the profile of Tennessee's Trey Smith. Teams are going to need a thorough medical evaluation, given his history of blood clots, but I'm confident that someone will take a chance on him in the first round. At 6-foot-6, 325 pounds, he's exactly what you're looking for at the position. With his size and athleticism, I would have been surprised if he hadn't been a first-round pick in last month's draft.
