Phili has four picks in the fifth as well as their 2nd rounder and feels they can still add some decent depth their while adding the first round talent they covet.

The Texans feel this could be their year and know the value of this draft is in the middle rounds. They know their lack of depth accross the board has hurt them in the past and feel the best way to improve their team in a cost effective way is through the draft.

28. Clint Sintim OLB
46. Rashad Johnson FS
77. Rashad Jennings RB
81. Jonathan Casillas (as our SS)
85. Mike Mickens CB
112. Jason Williams OLB
121. Patrick Turner WR
122. Kyle Moore DE
152. Sebastion Vollmer OT
188. Corvey Irvin DT
223. Gantrell Johnson RB

I like the double trade down

Let's see how I would play with all of those picks.

28. Percy Harvin WR/RB/KR Florida
46. Alphonso Smith CB Wake Forest
77. Gerald McRath ILB Southern Miss
81. Chip Vaughn SS Wake Forest
85. Darcel McBath FS Texas Tech
112. Richard Quinn TE North Carolina
121. Keenan Lewis CB Oregon St
122. A.Q. Shipley OC Penn State
152. Sebastian Vollmer OT Houston
188. Javarris Williams RBF Tennessee State
223. Khalif Mitchell NT East Carolina

That DraftTek mock is a total mess in the 1st round, IMO. Anyway, if we were to get those extra picks I'd try to work a young QB, perhaps Stephen McGee, in there somewhere. I can't believe Orvlosky anything more than a stop-gap backup for us for a year or two.

Not me, I don't think so. Orlovsky is that young QB. I don't see the Texans adding another drafted QB. They'll probably sign a UDFA and a vet as a practice squad player and a camp arm, respectively.

The Texans don't carry three QBs, and I think Orlovsky is going to make for a pretty nice career backup.

And yeah, that first round from DraftTek does look a little strange, but I have a feeling this year's first round is going to be really strange anyway.

UDFA - Rudy Carpenter Arizona State.
Vet - Quinn Gray, do we take another look see?

Gray was ticked off when we did not trade Sage last year, and iirc he did not learn the plays, so Kubiak parted ways, I do not see Gray's actions as being endearing to Kubiak.

Okay, well what about Oakland's Andrew Walter? They just signed Jeff Garcia so perhaps they let that guy walk?

Hey, I have been impressed with McGee this off season. As much as I wanted to dislike him, the tape kept saying otherwise. But he is now being talked about in the 3rd or 4th rounds, much to early for a guy they want to slide to the practice squad. (Kubiak has only carried 2 QBs since arriving here).

Well, looks like the 28th pick just got traded to the Bills for Jason Peters OT.
