"Tyron Smith and DeMarco Murray were two of the top rookies in the NFL this year and ESPN's Mel Kiper recently agreed.

The draft guru published a list of his top 20 rookies on Thursday. Not only were Murray and Smith included but both cracked the top 15.

Not bad for the ninth overall pick (Smith) and the 71st overall selection (Murray).

Smith, who was ranked 12th on Kiper's list , was the second offensive lineman on the list, landing behind Oakland Raiders center Stefen Wisniewski."
