So thanks to being the focus of the Senior Bowl, Wentz shot up as expected but is now being talked about as going in the top 5. Hopefully once these other prospects start having the Combine and Pro Day results, the spotlight will shine a bit more equally on the other players. Wentz is definitely someone I hope the Texans are giving strong consideration.
Since I posted this, a lot has been rumored about Cook being a douche. Not sure the extent of how true this is or how important those impressions are among those making the decisions. But anything that drops QBs in the draft at this point works in the Texans favor. Calling Cook the next Ryan Leaf seems to be a bit of a stretch probably. He helped Mich St win a ton of games... not like this school is ever confused with Alabama. Cook has NFL ready tools.
Also, I am skeptical of mocks giving the Cowboys a QB in the first round. I hear they are deeply cap-committed to Tony Romo, who at 36 this April might have a couple productive seasons left in him.
