Pre-season NFL Mocks report:

Second Team All Pac 10 selection last year and a third team All-American this pre-season by GoDaddy.com, Schwartz is a massive offensive tackle prospect with solid upside as either a tackle or possibly guard at the next level. In his Cal career as a whole, he has been a very durable lineman playing both right and left tackle, and showing off some skill in the classroom as well being named Honorable mention Pac 10 All-Academic in the last three years. Smart kid who is a mauler at his position, he should have a future in the NFL either as a right tackle or guard. Named Cal’s most valuable lineman the last two seasons.
