Offensive line coach Mike Solari was in Waco, Texas today scouting what Baylor had to offer, most notably projected top 10 draft pick offensive linemen Jason Smith.

An excerpt from the Waco Tribune Herald tells it all:
“Scouts like Jason because they’re enamored with his character,” said former Dallas Cowboys scouting director Gil Brandt, now a scouting expert for NFL.com. “He’s a good athlete with a lot of ability, but he also presents himself very well. He’s good on and off the field, and he’s been well coached. He’s going to be a very wealthy young man.”Not only is Smith an oustanding person, but he also tops out as the best OL in this year's draft across the boards. If Smith sticks around for Seattle at no. 4, there's a good chance he'll be raising a Seahawk jersey toward flashing cameras later that day.
MVN.com invited NSS to take part in a cooperative mock draft, where we selected Jason Smith no. 4 overall. We'll have a link of the mock draft tomorrow.
