I'd probably take Dre Moore (I've been saying that all along) but wouldn't mind Jeremy Thompson. However, the Texans are probably going to take Godfrey or Molden. That wouldn't be too bad, in my opinion.

Well Nicks was still available. I'd have loved a combo of Cason and Nicks with the first 2 picks.

Godfrey was off the board, so Molden was the BPCBA when we picked.

Here is Mayocks thoughts of Molden

Antwaun Molden, Eastern Kentucky

6-0 3/4, 198

40 time: 4.39

Projected round: 2

Mayock: "If you take the measurables of [Dominique] Rodgers-Cromartie and Molden, they're almost identical. They're both small-school guys from the same conference [Ohio Valley]. Yet Cromartie is considered a top-15 pick and this kid isn't. Why? Cromartie played in the Senior Bowl and Molden didn't. But if you just look at the tapes, you'd say Molden was a better player.''

I said that a few weeks ago. Molden also needs to be more of a football player and less of a "track guy" in pads.

I can understand why Carl Nicks is sliding (character), but for the life of me, I can't figure out why Cliff Avril is still on the board.

Or WR Andre Caldwell and DT Dre Moore, for that matter.

We're up.

Steve Slaton

Steve Slaton, RB, ...fast but fragile. This is the guy we got for the trade down.

[HPF Bob]

I think this is a good third-down back. I wouldn't make him a franchise back.

Here we go...

Steve Slaton! Fogrgot about him... I'm starting to like this draft!
