SI NFL Mock Draft: Texas A&M OL Kenyon Green Tabbed as 1st-Rounder

Here’s what SI had to say about the 21-year-old’s potential fit with Dallas:

“The time has come for Dallas to start getting younger on the offensive line, and Green is a guy who can play at multiple spots along the line, and eventually could grow into the kind of centerpiece Zack Martin has been on the interior.”

Green was one of college football's most versatile and consistent offensive linemen this past season. He started all 12 games for the 8-4 Aggies, including shifts to four different spots on the line throughout the season. And after winning two SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week awards, Green secured the faith and support of Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher, who said that his former player should be a first-round pick.

“I think Kenyon Green right off the bat," Fisher said Friday on The Rich Eisen Show. "He’s been a tremendous starter, three-year player who I just think has all the intangibles physically but mentally and psychologically. … He’s an old-school player with how he practices, how he works. And I think he’ll go in the first round, I really do. I think he has a chance to play a long time. He deserves it, he has been an outstanding player for us off the bat.”

SI apparently feels that Green’s position in the draft will go unchanged. In its mock draft from last Tuesday, Green was also selected at No. 24 by the Cowboys.

Will things play out like this on Thursday? We’ll just have to wait and see.
