I actually would have preferred that the Texans draft diminutive CB Alphonso Smith from Wake forest with their first round pick instead of Cushman on the theory that we really needed help at the all-important corner back position and that competant 4-3 Sams can be had in the mid-rounds.
Well Brice McCain may be a poor mans version of Alphonso Smith (who is also only 5'9"), who had remarkable ball skills but not the top-end speed of McCain. BTW Smith ended up going high in the second round (37th overall)
to th Broncos.
