Yes and no. A position was identified but not that particular player. The buzz at the time was that the Texans would take Matthews, the teammate of Cushing, in the draft. We took Duane Brown after a run on first-round OTs left us with just Brown as the only one of the board they thought was worthy. Brown's name didn't come up at all until he was taken because many draftniks had Brown projected as a second or third round guy. Kareem was probably the guy most predictable although many wanted Rogers-Cromartie.

And even Mario Williams wasn't a slam dunk because there was such an uproar over whether to choose Reggie Bush or Vince Young that Mario only appeared on the radar in the final week or two.

So the Texans might go WR in Round One but it might be somebody none of us is considering or putting in mocks.
