Me too. I never watched much of McCourty in college, but he stood out big-time to me watching the combine. There was just something about his hip movement and fluidty that appeared much better than the other guys.

OK, Texans... Make a bold move and come up and get Prince.

[Big Texas]

They don't know what a bold move is...

Watching Game Changers on NFL Network it seemed to me Aaron Williams was a much better bet than Prince, plus he has short arms.

Oh yes. I think he could start at corner on this team, too, but I am very intrigued by him switching to free safety.

Plus he sacked Sam Bradford.

Some JJ Watt Analysis from NFL.com- looks pretty good
Height:6'5"
Weight:290 lbs.
Arm Length:34 in.
Hand Size:11 1/8 in.
College:Wisconsin

In the 2010 season, Watt finished the regular season with 59 tackles, seven sacks, two fumble recoveries, and an interception.[1] Watt was the 2010 recipient of the Ronnie Lott Award and was one of six finalist's for the Ted Hendricks Award

Pick Analysis: Wade Phillips' defense is predicated on bringing a pressure off the edges, but a strong interior presence is needed to make it happen. Watt is an ideal five-technique with the strength and power to dominate offensive tackles at the point of attack. He not only improves Houston's rush defense but gives them another high-motor player to incorporate into the pass rush.

Combine Stats
40 Yard Dash4.84 Time
Bench Press 34.0 Reps
Vertical Jump 37.0 Height
Broad Jump 120.0 Distance
