Although we all expected the Texans to draft a corner, it was unknown who would be available (and it appears as though the Texans were targeting left tackle in the first round) so you couldn't count on this. Thus, they clearly needed depth at that position and were going to sign a free agent. If we're going to debate this signing, I think it should be done in the context of who was actually available.

Here is a list of this year's CB free agents - http://www.walterfootball.com/free2008CB.php

Based upon what it would cost to sign them, who would you rather have?

counting on a specific guy in the draft is one thing....but if you're looking for a CB in the 3rd i'd think you probably have 2 or 3 you'd be willing to spend on. i'm pretty sure molden was the 2nd choice behind charles godfrey who was taken like 8 picks or so earlier.

but to answer your question randall gay, fernando bryant probably, drayton florence, and aaron glenn. guys who are an upgrade in talent basically. i mean if we were going to hand out some money why not go after a guy? did reeves have a couple teams hanging on him? i doubt it.
